About 3 months ago, I built PDF Toolbox, a lightweight suite of tools to manage and interact with PDF files - all through a clean web interface and live API documentation.
It’s not just about merging or compressing PDFs - the real focus is on the interactive API docs that let you test every endpoint directly in the browser, view request/response structures, and understand how the backend works in real time.
Key Highlights:
🔹 Merge, compress, extract, and convert PDFs easily
🔹 Live API playground for testing endpoints
🔹 Built with Next.js, TypeScript, TailwindCSS, and shadcn/ui
🔹 Powered by pdf-lib for PDF operations
🔹 Deployed on Vercel for smooth performance
PDF Toolbox shows how simple, transparent API design can turn even small utilities into developer-friendly products.
