PDF Tools is a collection of browser-based PDF utilities. This policy explains what data is and is not processed when you use the site.
Last updated: 2026-06-17.
Every PDF tool on this site runs entirely in your web browser using client-side JavaScript and WebAssembly. The files you open are read into your browser's memory and processed there. They are never uploaded to a server, and we never receive, store, or have access to your document content.
A strict Content Security Policy and a runtime network guard enforce this: the processing pipeline cannot send your file data anywhere. When you close or refresh the page, the temporary memory holding your file is released by the browser.
We do not require an account and do not ask for personal information to use the tools. We do not collect, sell, or share your documents.
Our own hosting may keep standard, aggregated server access logs (such as IP address, browser type, and requested URL) for security and reliability. These logs do not include your file contents.
We may display third-party advertising (for example, Google AdSense) to keep the tools free. When advertising is enabled, third-party vendors including Google use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits. You can opt out of personalized advertising via Google Ads Settings, and learn more at policies.google.com/technologies/ads. In regions that require it, ads are shown only after you provide consent through our consent banner.
Advertising never has access to your PDF files or their contents — file processing remains entirely local and separate from any ad code.
The tools themselves work without cookies. If advertising is enabled, advertising partners may set cookies as described above. Where required by law, we ask for your consent before non-essential cookies are set.
You can clear site data at any time from your browser settings. For questions about this policy, contact us at [email protected].
