Privacy policy
Your files never leave your browser.
There is no upload step and no server that receives documents. You can confirm this yourself: open your browser's developer tools, switch to the Network tab, and run any tool on this site — no request carrying your file is made.
What happens to my documents
When you choose a PDF, your browser reads it into memory and processes it locally using WebAssembly. The result is handed straight back to you as a download. When you close or reload the tab, that memory is released. We never receive, store, or transmit your files, because the architecture gives us no way to.
Analytics
We use Plausible, a privacy-focused analytics service that sets no cookies and collects no personal data. It records which tool pages are visited — never filenames, file sizes, or file contents.
Advertising
This site is funded by Google AdSense. Ads load only after you accept them in the consent banner. If you decline, no advertising scripts or cookies are loaded at all. Your choice is stored in your browser and you can change it by clearing your site data. Ad personalisation never has access to your documents — they exist only in your own browser's memory.
Your rights
Under GDPR and CCPA you have the right to access, correct, and delete personal data held about you. In practice we hold none: there is no account system, no file storage, and no personally identifying analytics.
