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 storage categories are denied by default and analytics is only enabled if you accept the cookie banner. IP addresses are anonymized. We track which tools are used and whether operations succeed — never file names or file contents. We do not keep any usage counters of our own.
Advertising
The site is paid for by ads from Google AdSense. The AdSense tag is only loaded after you allow the advertising category in the cookie banner — decline, and the script is never requested and no ad slots render. When it is allowed, Google may set its own cookies and identifiers; see our cookie policyfor the details and the control to change your mind. Ads are never shown inside a tool's workspace and your files are never passed to any ad network.
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, saved signatures, your brand kit and your cookie-consent decision are stored in your browser's local storage, and saved studio projects are stored in IndexedDB. They never leave your device — which also means we hold no backup: clearing site data deletes them permanently and we cannot restore them.
