Your files
Most tools run entirely in your browser — files are opened and processed on your device and are never uploaded anywhere. Each tool's upload area says which mode it uses.
A small number of PDF tools process files on our servers because the work is too heavy for the browser: Merge PDF, Edit PDF (export), Compress PDF (light mode), Split PDF, Watermark PDF, PDF Page Numbers. For these, your file is sent over HTTPS, processed in memory only, and the result is returned in the same request. We do not write uploaded files or generated outputs to disk, object storage, or any database — there is nothing retained to delete after the response is sent.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 with Consent Mode v2. All analytics storage is denied by default and only enabled if you accept the cookie banner; advertising storage is never requested. IP addresses are anonymized. We track which tools are used and whether operations succeed — never file names or file contents. Aggregate usage counters (files processed, downloads) are stored without any user identifier.
Abuse prevention
Server-processed tools are rate-limited per IP address. Those IP-keyed counters exist only for the duration of the rate window (about a minute) and are deleted automatically as windows expire.
Error monitoring
We use Sentry to capture application errors so we can fix them. Error reports include the tool and the failure step, not your file contents.
Local storage
Preferences such as dark mode, favorite tools, recently used tools, studio autosaves, and your cookie-consent decision are stored in your browser's local storage. They never leave your device; clearing site data removes them.
