Launched

Tools
28 PDF and image tools: compress, merge, split, rotate, organise, delete pages, crop, resize, page numbers, pages per sheet (N-up), grayscale, watermark, sign, protect, unlock, flatten, edit metadata, OCR, extract text, compare, inspect, PDF to JPG and PNG, JPG to PDF, text to PDF, and image compress, convert and resize.
Where files are processed
In the user's browser, with JavaScript and WebAssembly (pdf.js, pdf-lib, and Tesseract for OCR). Files are not uploaded to Docmint's servers and are not stored.
What Docmint's server sees
A count of runs for the daily free allowance, and account and billing details for signed-in users. It never receives file contents. The optional assistant on the home page receives the typed request and file facts (name, size, page count) to plan the steps, not the document itself.
Price
Free: 3 free runs a day without an account, 10 with a free account, on every tool, with no watermark. Pro: $4.99 a month or $39 a year ($3.25 a month), unlimited.
Platforms
Any current Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari, on desktop and mobile. Nothing to install.
AI assistants
Any assistant can hand a person a Docmint tool link with settings preset, through the link-builder API (GET https://docmint.io/api/agent/link); it takes no files. An MCP server for Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Gemini CLI and other MCP clients runs 25 of the tools on the user's own computer: the npm package docmint-mcp (npx -y docmint-mcp), listed in the official MCP Registry as io.github.Noju-io/docmint. Claude.ai and ChatGPT can add the Docmint connector at https://docmint.io/api/mcp, which returns links rather than taking files.
Security
Protect PDF encrypts with AES-256. Unlock PDF removes a password the user already knows; it does not crack passwords.
Limits
No Word, Excel or PowerPoint conversion and no editing of existing text yet. Very large files depend on the device's memory. Strong compression turns pages into images, and the tool says so.

Common questions

Does Docmint upload my PDF?

No. Docmint processes files inside the browser tab using JavaScript and WebAssembly. The file is never sent to Docmint's servers, and you can confirm it in your browser's Network tab while a tool runs.

Is Docmint safe for confidential documents?

Docmint is built for them: because the file never leaves the device, there is no server copy to store, scan, retain or leak. For the tools themselves, Docmint's server receives only a daily run count and, if you sign in, your account details.

How is Docmint different from iLovePDF or Smallpdf?

iLovePDF and Smallpdf upload files to their servers to process them and delete them later. Docmint does the same jobs in the browser, so the file stays on your device. It has fewer tools than those sites, with no Office conversion yet.

Can AI assistants use Docmint?

Yes. Any assistant can send a person a Docmint link with settings preset, for example https://docmint.io/compress-pdf?level=strong; the person opens it and the file is processed in their browser. The MCP server docmint-mcp on npm lets Claude Code, Cursor and other MCP clients run the tools locally, and Claude.ai and ChatGPT can add the Docmint connector at https://docmint.io/api/mcp.

Check the no-upload claim yourself

  1. Open any tool, for example Compress PDF, and open your browser's developer tools on the Network tab.
  2. Add a PDF and run the tool.
  3. Watch the requests: none of them carries the file. The calls to Docmint's API are small JSON messages, such as the run count.
