Privacy
Your files never leave your device.
Most online PDF tools upload your document to a server, process it there, and ask you to trust a deletion promise. pdflab works differently: there is no server to upload to.
No upload
Your files are read and processed in this browser tab. They are never sent anywhere.
No account
No sign-up, no email, no identity. Open a tool and use it.
No storage
There is no database and no server-side file handling. Close the tab and nothing remains.
No tracking
No analytics that profile you, no advertising, no third-party scripts watching.
Don't take our word for it
Open your browser's developer tools, switch to the Network panel, and use any tool on this site. Process a 50-page PDF, compress it, export images, and watch the panel. You will see the page's own code load once, and then nothing. No request carries your file out, because the work happens right here, on your machine.
That's the whole promise.
No fine print, because there's nothing to hide behind.
