Privacy first
Your files never leave your device.
Most online PDF sites upload your documents to their servers. We don't. Total PDF Tools does all the work inside your browser with WebAssembly and Web Workers — so contracts, IDs and medical records stay with you.
Cloud storage is optional — only files you choose to save to your cloud are uploaded, stored encrypted at rest, and deletable any time.
How we keep files privateNo uploads
There's no server to send files to. Processing happens locally.
On-device engine
pdf-lib, pdf.js, qpdf and Tesseract run right in your browser.
Nothing stored
Close the tab and it's gone. We don't save documents anywhere.
Fast
No waiting for uploads or downloads — even big files start instantly.

Are my files uploaded to your servers?
No. Every tool on Total PDF Tools runs inside your web browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your documents are read from your device, processed in your browser's memory and saved back to your device. We have no upload endpoint and never receive your files.
Is Total PDF Tools free?
Yes. All tools on this website are free to use, without sign-up or watermarks. The site may show ads to cover its costs; ads never touch your documents.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Any modern browser works — Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari on desktop and mobile. There is also a companion mobile app for Android and iOS if you prefer.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no server limit because nothing is uploaded. The practical limit is your device's memory: files of several hundred megabytes usually work on a computer; phones handle smaller files.
Do the tools work offline?
Once a tool page has loaded, processing doesn't need the internet. Some tools (OCR, password protection) download their engine the first time you use them.
Do you keep a copy of my document?
No. Nothing is stored — not on a server and not in your browser's storage. When you close or reload the tab, everything is gone. The only thing we remember is a list of tools you used recently, kept in your own browser.
