Hey dev.to! 👋
I got frustrated with existing PDF tools that either charge you, store your files, or completely mangle Arabic text. So I built ieatpdf.com — a free all-in-one PDF toolkit.
What it does:
Convert PDF to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, JPG, PNG, HTML
Convert Word, Excel, PowerPoint files back to PDF
Merge multiple PDFs into one
Split PDF by page range
Compress PDF (Low/Medium/High)
Lock and unlock PDFs with password
Full Arabic and RTL document support
Tech stack:
Python + Flask backend
Hosted on Railway
LibreOffice for file conversion
Ghostscript for compression
Tesseract OCR for Arabic text extraction
PDF.js for in-browser preview
Privacy first — every file is permanently deleted immediately after processing. No storage, no tracking.
Would love feedback from the community — especially on the compression quality and Arabic OCR accuracy.
