Hi, I'm Alam.

I'm the solo core maintainer of BentoPDF, a free PDF toolkit that runs entirely in your browser.

Today BentoPDF has 16k+ stars, 100+ tools, over 10 million downloads and is fully open source and self hostable.

Alongside it, I build two engines:

  • Kura converts PDFs to archival, print and accessibility standards (PDF/A, PDF/UA, PDF/X, PDF/E) and checks them against those standards.
  • Hyper Compress is the best open source PDF compression engine.

Both are open source, and both power parts of BentoPDF.

Every issue, every pull request review, every release and every security fix across all three goes through me. I love this work. But it's one person doing the job of a small team, and sponsorship is what makes that sustainable.

What your sponsorship does

  • Helps keep BentoPDF free for everyone, with no accounts, no limits and no tracking
  • Pays for security and dependency updates across BentoPDF, Kura and Hyper Compress
  • Turns your issues into fixes and new tools faster
  • Keeps the translations and self-hosting docs up to date
  • Gives me the time to do this full-time instead of in the gaps

For companies

If your team relies on BentoPDF, Kura or Hyper Compress, sponsoring is the most direct way to make sure they're still maintained next year.

Thank you

Every star, bug report, translation and sponsorship has kept me going. If you sponsor at any amount, it tells me this work matters to you, and that means more than I can fit on this page.
