Your files
never leave
your device.
All the work happens right in your browser. We never send your PDFs anywhere — they stay with you, from start to finish.
Where your PDFs end up.
Most online tools upload your file to a server to process it. We don't.
Three steps. Zero network.
Drop the PDF in
The file is read straight from your computer. Nothing is sent over the internet.
Your browser does the work
The tool opens, edits, and builds the new file right on your device — no server needed.
Download the result
The finished PDF is ready to download. Only you ever see your files.
Common questions.
Can you see my files?
No. PDFs are opened and processed entirely in your browser. They never touch our servers.
Does it work without internet?
The page needs to load online, but once a tool is open, processing happens locally — nothing about your files is sent over the network.
Where are the files stored?
Nowhere. When you close the tab, they’re gone. Nothing is saved automatically.
Do I need an account?
No. PDFly is completely free and asks for nothing — no sign-up, no license key.
