How It Works Technically

Local Processing

pdfiles uses PDF.js and pdf-lib, which run directly in the browser. Parsing, editing and creating PDFs is performed locally.

Privacy by Default

Since everything runs locally, no one has access to your files. We do not store or analyze PDF documents.

Fast & Efficient

Modern frontend ensures fast loading, smooth operation and comfortable editing even on older devices.

Current Limitations
