Roadmap

Built in the open.

28 tools shipped. Each one verified on real documents before it appeared here. This page shows what shipped, what is being built next, and what is coming further out.

Items in the planned column are confirmed intentions, not promises. The order reflects current priority. A tool only ships when it passes the full quality bar — not before. Detailed changelog →

Shipped

  • Shipped

    28 tools — all verified on real documents

    Split, merge, rotate, sign, organize, watermark, crop, page numbers, compress, redact, fill forms, protect, unlock, repair, OCR, PDF to Markdown, PDF to Excel, PDF to PDF/A, and more — plus format conversion (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, HTML, and web pages).

  • Shipped

    On-device processing for all edit tools

    Every tool that organizes or edits a PDF runs entirely in your browser. The file never reaches a server. Format conversion (PDF to Word, PDF to PowerPoint, etc.) uses a secure server that deletes the file within 60 minutes.

  • Shipped

    35 guides explaining how PDF tools actually work

    Plain-language guides covering every major PDF operation — what works, what does not, and why. Each guide is tied to the tool it describes.

    June 2026

  • Shipped

    Live search across all tools and guides

    Find any of the 28 tools or 35 guides by typing. Runs client-side with no server round-trip.

    June 2026

  • Shipped

    Measured, data-backed comparison

    An independently measured comparison covering third-party requests, on-device processing, output quality, and account requirements. No marketing claims — only measured numbers.

Up next

  • Up next

    REST API for server-side tools

    A documented API for the format-conversion tools (PDF to Word, Excel to PDF, etc.) — for developers who want to integrate Filum's conversion quality into their own workflows.

  • Up next

    Batch conversion

    Convert multiple files at once with a single action. Currently each file is processed individually; batch mode will queue and convert them in parallel.

Planned

  • Planned

    Password-aware unlock for all format tools

    Currently, encrypted PDFs block format conversion (PDF to Word, etc.). A password entry step before conversion would pass the decrypted buffer to LibreOffice.
