PDF Toolkit
PDF Toolkit is a macOS utility for working with PDFs, images, and videos locally, including converting, compressing, merging, and editing files.
What is PDF Toolkit?
PDF Toolkit is a native macOS utility focused on everyday document and media tasks. It helps users handle PDFs, images, and videos in one app instead of switching between multiple web tools or separate desktop utilities. Common uses include merging or splitting PDFs, compressing files for sharing, converting between formats, extracting pages, resizing images, and trimming or converting videos. The app is designed for students, office users, and anyone who regularly prepares documents, forms, presentations, or media files on a Mac. Its workflow centers on dropping files into the app, making quick edits or adjustments, and exporting the finished result. PDF Toolkit is distributed through Glaze and is aimed at users who want local, on-device processing for routine file-management work.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
This app is used to open, edit, convert, and export documents and media files, so access to files you choose is normal for its purpose. Local processing is a practical privacy benefit because routine conversions and edits can happen on your Mac instead of through a web upload workflow. As with any file utility, review outputs before replacing originals and keep backups of important documents in case a conversion, compression, or overwrite does not preserve formatting exactly as expected.
Recommendation: Keep PDF Toolkit if you use it for PDF, image, or video cleanup and conversion on your Mac. If you no longer use these tools, you can remove the app to free space; doing so may also remove its saved settings and any app-specific workflow history.
