About PrivyPDF

Learn why PrivyPDF exists, how its browser-based PDF tools work, and what the service does not claim.

A focused PDF toolbox

PrivyPDF is a small browser-based toolbox for common PDF tasks: merging, extracting, rotating, deleting pages, compressing, and converting images to PDF. It is designed for people who want a straightforward workflow without creating an account or sending document bytes to a processing server.

How local processing works

When you select a file, the browser reads it locally and the JavaScript and WebAssembly libraries create the result on your device. PrivyPDF does not receive the PDF contents through its application processing flow. Local processing is not a guarantee of absolute security: keep your browser and operating system updated, and review downloaded files before sharing them.

What we aim to do

The project prioritizes clear limitations, useful instructions, and honest privacy messaging over claims that cannot be verified. Some operations use more memory than others, and raster compression can remove selectable text or interactive features. Each tool explains those trade-offs before you start.
