Organize PDFs for Tax Filing
Organize the PDFs that pile up during tax season — safely. Merge, clean up, and compress to the right size for e-Tax, all without uploading to any server.

Why This Takes Longer Than It Should
The hard part of tax season is that documents arrive in every possible format. Withholding slips come as PDFs from your employer, medical receipts as phone photos, brokerage statements as web downloads. Filing systems cap both the number and the size of attachments, so you can't just upload everything as-is. And the data involved — income figures, tax IDs, medical history — is exactly the kind you don't want passing through a third-party server.
What's Actually At Risk Here
- ✓Income figures and tax ID numbers on a withholding slip don't need to travel to a server just to be merged or compressed.
- ✓Medical receipts reveal which clinics and specialties you visited — sensitive health data that shouldn't go into a free online converter.
- ✓Tax season also brings a spike in look-alike phishing sites. In-browser processing removes the question of where your file went entirely.

Where People Get Tripped Up
These catch people out even when the steps are followed correctly. Skimming them first saves a redo.
- Over-compressing can smear the amount fields on a receipt. Always check amounts and dates at 100% zoom before submitting.
- Filing portals cap the number of attachments as well as their size, so merging first and compressing second usually works better than compressing each file.
- Phone photos of receipts often come out skewed or shadowed. Cropping away the margins before converting to PDF makes them much easier to read.
