Pdfova is a high-performance, cross-platform desktop tool for PDF & Image processing. It brings the comfort of tools like Smallpdf and iLovePDF to a native, offline application — powered by Rust and Tauri.

• PDF Compression: Reduce file size without compromising quality.
• PDF Merger: Professional-grade merging with proper object handling (fully compatible with Apple Preview).
• PDF Splitter (Visual): Preview all pages and select specific ones to extract or split the whole document.
• Batch Image Resize: Process 100s of images at once with 4 scaling modes (Exact, Percent, Width-only, Height-only).
• Images to PDF: Convert and combine multiple images (JPG, PNG, WebP) into a single document.
• PDF to Word / Text: Convert PDF documents to editable content.
• Signature Extraction: Detect and isolate signature images from PDFs.
• Text Extraction (OCR): Extract text content from scanned documents.

• Cross-Platform: Native builds for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
• Privacy First: All processing happens locally on your machine. No cloud, no uploads.
• Fast: Powered by Rust for lightning-fast processing.
• Modern UI: Minimalist dark mode with smooth React-powered animations.
