Overview
PDFSwifter is a comprehensive toolkit for PDF management and media conversion, designed to offer iLovePDF-style utilities with an extensible API foundation.
Problem
Managing PDFs often requires multiple tools and inconsistent workflows. I wanted a single platform that centralizes PDF operations and can grow beyond documents.
Solution
Built a modular tool suite with a FastAPI backend that exposes PDF operations and media conversion endpoints for YouTube and TikTok workflows.
Outcomes
- Unified many document utilities into one cohesive platform.
- API-first architecture to support web and future clients.
- Expanded into YouTube/TikTok media conversion tools.
My Contributions
- Designed and implemented the FastAPI backend in Python.
- Structured modular utilities for PDF processing and media conversion.
- Created API endpoints to support automation and future integrations.
