- We believe PDF tools should be - fast, private, and free. + Hi, I'm Alam. + I build BentoPDF.

+ BentoPDF started off as just a simple internal tool I used for + quickly merging and splitting PDFs. +

+

+ At some point, I decided to + share it on Reddit. Someone in the comments + asked if it was open source. I thought, “Why not?” So a couple of weeks later, I + put the code on GitHub. +

+

+ I posted it on + r/selfhosted + the next day, and that's when things really started to take off. +

+

+ I honestly never thought BentoPDF would grow into what it is + today. It started as a little tool I made for myself, and + somehow it turned into a much bigger project used by people all + over the world.

+ I don't build BentoPDF alone anymore. More than 60 people have + contributed code, translations and fixes, and thousands more have + starred it, shared it, reported bugs and asked for features. Thank + you. +

Enough about me. Here's more about BentoPDF.

+ Really awesome tool. I’m in the legal field and have been stuck + with Adobe because they do have pretty robust redaction tools, + although it is super clunky and resource intensive. Bento is + quickly gaining market share in my legal stack. +
