The application ensures that users' files remain on their system and are not transferred to external servers. Key functionalities include merging PDFs, optimizing PDFs, extracting images from PDF files, and adding watermarks. The website is built using Nextjs, Chakra-ui as a component framework, and Caprover for web-app hosting.
