Project overview

Stirling PDF brings common document jobs such as merging, splitting, signing, redacting, converting, OCR, compression, and editing into one interface. It can run as a personal desktop application, a browser-based self-hosted service, or a private API, allowing documents to be processed without sending them to an unrelated external tool. No-code workflows and REST endpoints support repeated or integrated processing, and a basic server can be started with Docker. The project follows an open-core model, so organizations should review which enterprise capabilities and license terms apply.
