Built a free PDF tool with 43 features after getting tired of paying for Adobe at my old job. 627 visits last month, no ads run yet.
I spent years at an admin job where every single PDF task meant either paying for Adobe or downloading some sketchy converter site that buried the real button under 6 fake download ads.
So I built PDFMasterPro. It's got 43 tools right now (merge, split, convert, image-to-text, edit) and all of it runs in the browser. No install, no email required to use most tools.
I haven't run a single ad. Just shared it with a few people and posted the link in a couple places. 627 visits in the last 30 days, which honestly shocked me for something I built solo.
Still very early (I'm the only confirmed signup so far, most people just use it and leave, which is fine by me). Trying to get to 1,000 weekly users before I add any paid tier.
If you've ever been stuck trying to merge scanned contracts or split a 200-page report without installing something shady, I'd genuinely love your feedback on what's missing.
