About FileSwiftly
FileSwiftly exists because sending a lease, a medical form or a pay stub to an unknown server just to merge two pages never felt right.
Who is behind it
I am Emily Hart. For more than ten years I have helped small law offices, family clinics and nonprofits in the Pacific Northwest untangle their paperwork: scanning backlogs, intake packets, signature rounds and the endless “can you send that as one PDF?” requests.
In almost every office I visited, someone was uploading confidential documents to a free website to do a two-second job. Most of those sites are perfectly legitimate, but the client’s privacy notice rarely allowed it, and nobody had read the site’s retention policy. FileSwiftly is my answer: the same everyday PDF jobs, done entirely inside the browser so the question of where the file goes never comes up.
How the tools are made
FileSwiftly is built on respected open-source projects: PDF.js from Mozilla for displaying pages, pdf-lib for editing document structure, and QPDF, compiled to WebAssembly, for encryption, repair and lossless optimization. Each tool is tested with real-world files from my own practice — crooked scans, 300-page court bundles, password-protected bank statements — before it goes live.
What we will not do
- We will not ask you to create an account to download your own file.
- We will not stamp a watermark on your pages.
- We will not ship a tool that only pretends to work. Features that need a server to be done well, such as Word conversion with exact layout or OCR, are marked “coming soon” until they can be done properly.
Independent and small
FileSwiftly is an independent project, not affiliated with Adobe or any other PDF software company. PDF is an open ISO standard (ISO 32000), and anyone may build tools for it.
