# Docmint

> Docmint is a browser-based PDF toolkit: 28 tools for compressing, merging, splitting, organising, converting, signing, protecting and inspecting PDFs and images, all processed locally on the user's device with no file uploads. It is free for a daily number of runs, with an unlimited Pro plan.

Key facts:
- Every tool runs client-side in the browser (JavaScript + WebAssembly). Files are never uploaded or stored.
- Free with a daily allowance: 3 runs a day without an account, 10 with a free account; Pro ($3.25/month billed yearly) is unlimited. No watermarks. Works in current Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari.
- Inputs: PDF, JPG, PNG, WebP. Outputs: PDF, JPG, PNG, WebP, TXT, Markdown.
- PDF encryption uses AES-256; OCR runs locally with Tesseract compiled to WebAssembly.
- Assistant: on the home page users can drop files and describe the job in plain words ("get it under 2 MB and add a password"); Docmint plans the steps, chains the tools and runs them in the browser. The assistant sees only the request and file facts (name, size, page count), never document contents.

## Describe the job instead of picking a tool

- [Home](https://docmint.io/): one box for files or a request. Submitting opens a workspace where each answer is a plan of tool steps (for example Compress PDF then Protect PDF) that runs on the device, each step working on the previous result. Interactive tools such as Sign PDF and Organize PDF open with the file already loaded and hand the result back.
- What it cannot do: create Word, Excel or PowerPoint files, translate, summarise or answer questions about document contents, edit existing text, fill in forms or redact. It says so and offers the closest tools instead.
- Passwords typed into a request are removed in the browser before anything is sent and filled into the protect or unlock step locally.
- [Pipelines](https://docmint.io/pipeline): chain tools into a reusable pipeline (for example Unlock → Compress → Protect, or Scans → OCR → Compress) and run it on many files at once. Each step feeds the next with no download in between; pipelines can be saved in the browser or shared as a link that holds only the steps and settings.
- Every tool page also offers "Continue with": the result opens in the next tool directly, without downloading and re-uploading.

## For AI agents and developers

Docmint ships an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and other MCP clients, exposing the tools (merge_pdf, compress_pdf, ocr_pdf, protect_pdf, inspect_pdf and more). It runs locally (`npx -y docmint-mcp`), so files stay on the user's machine. Setup per app: https://docmint.io/mcp. Connect it to a Docmint account with `npx -y docmint-mcp login` or the connect_docmint_account tool; runs then use that account's plan, shared with the website.

## FAQ

**What is Docmint?** Docmint is a browser-based PDF toolkit: 28 tools for compressing, merging, splitting, organising, converting, signing, protecting and inspecting PDFs and images, all processed locally on the user's device with no file uploads. It is free for a daily number of runs, with an unlimited Pro plan.

**Is Docmint free?** Yes, with a daily allowance: 3 runs a day without an account and 10 with a free account, across every tool, with no watermarks. Pro ($3.25 a month billed yearly, or $4.99 monthly) removes the limit on the website and through the MCP server.

**Does Docmint upload my files?** No. Files are processed inside your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Nothing is sent to a server, nothing is stored, and closing the tab discards the file.

**Which file types does Docmint support?** PDF for all document tools, plus JPG, PNG and WebP for the image tools and for image-to-PDF conversion. Output is standard PDF, JPG, PNG, WebP, TXT or Markdown.

**Which browsers work with Docmint?** Any current version of Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari on desktop or mobile. No installation or extension is needed.

**Is there a file size limit?** There is no server limit because nothing is uploaded. Very large files (hundreds of megabytes) depend on the memory available to your browser.

**Can Docmint password-protect and unlock PDFs?** Yes. Protect PDF encrypts with AES-256 and sets permissions; Unlock PDF removes a password you know. Both run locally.

**Can Docmint make scanned PDFs searchable?** Yes. The OCR tool recognises text in scanned PDFs and photos in the browser and produces a searchable PDF or plain text.
