PDF Tools — frequently asked
Are these PDF tools really private?
Yes. Every PDF tool here parses and rewrites the file entirely in your browser using pdf-lib and pdf.js. Nothing is uploaded to a server, nothing is logged, and closing the tab wipes the file from memory.
Is there a file size limit?
The practical limit is your device's RAM. Most laptops handle PDFs up to a few hundred megabytes; older mobile browsers may struggle above ~100 MB.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Every tool loads on demand as a JavaScript module. Bookmark the page — that's the whole install.
Can I use these tools offline?
After the first load, each tool caches its assets. On flights or restricted networks you can reopen the tab and keep working.
