The short version
itspdftools is a privacy-first tool. Your files never leave your device. All PDF processing happens entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly (pdf-lib, Tesseract.js). We have no servers that receive your documents, no cloud storage, and no ability to access anything you process.
File processing
Every tool on itspdftools runs locally:
- Files are read directly from your device memory using the browser File API.
- Processing is performed by WebAssembly modules (pdf-lib for PDF operations, Tesseract.js for OCR) that run inside your browser tab.
- Output files are generated in memory and offered as a download — never transmitted anywhere.
- When you close or navigate away from a tool page, all file data is discarded from memory.
What we store locally
The only data stored on your device is your theme preference (dark / light / system) saved to localStorage. This is purely cosmetic and never shared.
Third-party services
Vercel (hosting)
The site is hosted on Vercel. Vercel may log standard HTTP request metadata (IP address, user-agent, timestamp, URL path) for infrastructure purposes. No file content is included in these logs. See Vercel's Privacy Policy.
Google Fonts
We load web fonts (Syne, Figtree, DM Mono) from Google Fonts. This causes your browser to make requests to Google's servers, which may log your IP. See Google's Privacy Policy.
Analytics & tracking
We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any third-party analytics or ad tracking scripts. There are no cookies set by itspdftools (beyond the browser's own session mechanisms).
Children's privacy
itspdftools does not knowingly collect any personal information from children under 13. Since we collect no personal information from any user, this policy applies equally to all visitors.
