bentopdf.sh

The PDF toolkit
for your terminal.

Convert, merge, split, edit, sign — 100+ operations powered by BentoPDF's WASM engines. No browser, no cloud, no native installs.

Built on BentoPDF by @alam00000 — they built the WASM engines, we built the CLI.

Features

Everything you need, nothing you don't.

The same WASM engines that power BentoPDF in the browser, now driven from your terminal.

Runs entirely in-process using WASM. Nothing leaves your machine — no uploads, no cloud calls, no telemetry.

Same engines as BentoPDF: LibreOffice WASM, MuPDF, and pandoc-wasm — battle-tested in production, now on the CLI.

Convert to PDF, DOCX, or PPTX. Apply reference templates for branded output. Supports Office, Markdown, HTML, images, and more.

First-class Claude Code skill. One command to install — then just ask Claude to convert your files.

Formats

bentopdf automatically picks the right WASM engine based on your input file extension.

Quick Start

No daemon, no config file required — just install and convert.

Install

Install globally via npm. Requires Node.js 20+. WASM engines are downloaded on first use and cached in ~/.cache/bentopdf/.

$ npm install -g bentopdf-sh

Convert

Pass one or more files. bentopdf picks the right engine automatically. Output defaults to the same directory as input.
