Are browser-based PDF tools private?

Browser-based PDF tools run file operations in your web browser using JavaScript libraries. For supported tasks, the file can be processed locally instead of being intentionally uploaded to a server for conversion.

What local processing means

The browser reads the selected file, performs the operation, and creates a downloadable result on the same device. This is different from services that upload files to a remote backend.

Practical cautions

• Do not process confidential files on shared devices.
• Check the site's privacy policy before using sensitive documents.
• Some advanced conversions still require server-side processing.
