Description
A plea...
Deanna and I have been running this site since 2008 and lately we're seeing a big increase in
users (and cost) but a decline in percentage of users who donate. Our ad-free and junkware-free
download site only works if everyone chips in to offset the revenue that ads on other sites bring
in. Please donate at the bottom of the page. Every little bit helps. Thank you so much.
Sincerely,
your Older Geeks: Randy and Deanna

No Bloat PDF v1.5.0

👉 A tiny, fast and private PDF viewer with no ads, accounts or telemetry.

No Bloat PDF is a lightweight, open-source PDF viewer designed to do one thing well: open and read PDF files without the advertising, cloud services, accounts, launchers and other extras found in many modern PDF readers. The complete installer is only about 4.6 MB, yet the program provides tabbed viewing, document search, thumbnails, bookmarks, zooming, rotation and printing. It uses Mozilla's pdf.js rendering engine inside a small native application shell and is designed to open documents quickly without a splash screen or sign-in process.

Privacy is a major part of the design. No Bloat PDF makes zero network calls, includes no telemetry and requires no account. PDF documents remain entirely on your computer. Multiple documents can be kept open as tabs in a single window, and the program remembers your position in previously viewed files. Dark mode follows the operating system while leaving the actual PDF pages in their original colors.

Changes:
v1.5.0 09-06-26
Feature release: Combine Files.
File > Combine Files (or the button on the start screen) opens a screen where you drop PDFs and images, drag them into order, and get one new PDF, saved wherever you choose and opened in a tab. Everything runs on your machine; nothing is uploaded.
What is in it:
Accepts PDF, PNG, JPEG, TIFF, GIF, BMP, and WebP. A multi-page TIFF becomes one page per image.
Image pages fill their page edge to edge, oriented to the image, so a scan comes out as a clean full page.
Password-protected PDFs are accepted with their password.
Drag cards to reorder, or use Option/Alt plus the arrow keys. Delete removes a card.
Command line: no-bloat-pdf --combine out.pdf a.pdf b.png c.tif writes the result without any dialog.
The PDF is written by the same pdf.js page extractor that saves page edits, so there is no second PDF engine and the installer stays 4.6 MB. The TIFF decoder (UTIF.js and tiny-inflate, both MIT) loads only when a TIFF is added.
Also: the macOS CI smoke test now runs Combine Files end to end on macOS 15 and current macOS before a build is accepted.
