        Why Recto & Verso

        A branded toolkit, not a leaky upload site. Built to respect your files and your time.

        🔒

        Private by design

        Every file is processed in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, stored, or seen by anyone — including us.

        Instantly fast

        No upload, no queue, no round-trip to a server. Files process the moment you drop them.

        🎁

        Free, no account

        Every tool is free and unlimited. No sign-up, no email, no watermark, no trial trap.

        Combine, split, organize, sign, fill, convert, OCR, compress, redact, and watermark — no bouncing between sites.

        Because your files never leave your device, there's simply nothing for us to lose or misuse.

        Questions

        Is it really free?

        The nine core tools are free and unlimited — no account, no watermark, no catch. A one-time Pro unlock ($12) adds Compress, Redact, and Watermark & page numbers, which still run entirely in your browser. No subscription.

        Do my files get uploaded?

        No. Everything runs locally in your browser using your device's own processing. Your files are never sent to us or any server — which is why it's instant and private.

        What can it do?

        Combine and split PDFs, organize pages (reorder, rotate, delete), sign and mark up documents, fill PDF forms, convert images to and from PDF, convert and compress images, and extract text from scans with OCR.

        Which browsers work?

        Any modern browser — Chrome, Safari, Edge, or Firefox — on Mac, Windows, Linux, or a tablet. Nothing to download or install.

        Is it safe to sign documents here?

        Very — because the document never leaves your device. You draw your signature, place it, and export, all locally. Nothing about the file is transmitted.
