Local browser tools — no cloud upload

How DearPDF works

Every tool processes your file in this browser. Open a document, make the change, download the result — without sending the PDF to DearPDF servers.

The 3-step pipeline

  1. 01

    Open on this device

    0 bytes sent

    You pick a file with your browser. It is read into this tab’s memory — not posted to a conversion API.

  2. 02

    Edit in your browser

    Local processing

    Merge, compress, OCR, and the other tools run locally on your CPU. Heavy work stays on-device.

  3. 03

    Download the result

    Instant download

    The finished PDF is saved from a local download link. Close the tab and the working copy is gone.

FAQ

Plain answers about private, in-browser PDF tools.

Can DearPDF see my confidential documents?

No. Document bytes are not uploaded to DearPDF servers for conversion. Processing happens in your browser tab.

Does it work offline?

After the first visit, core tools can keep working offline via the app’s cached assets.

Is there a file size limit?

There is no artificial paywall limit. Very large files are constrained only by your device memory.

What powers the tools?

Browser-native libraries (including WebAssembly engines) for PDF, images, and OCR — all running locally.
