Keep your PDFs private in the browser

Many online PDF services upload your files to a server. That can be fine for public documents, but it is a poor fit for contracts, medical forms, or financial records.

Process locally

When tools run entirely in your browser, your files stay on your machine. No upload step means a smaller attack surface and fewer third parties in the loop.

Practical habits

1. Prefer tools that state clearly that processing is local.
2. Close other tabs or extensions you do not trust when handling sensitive PDFs.
3. After editing, save to a folder you control and back up if needed.
