Your files. Your processing choice.

Merge, split, compression, editing, OCR and encryption run in your browser. These local tools do not upload your file contents or passwords. Engines, language data and fonts are downloaded from this site.

Office and HTML conversion tools offer server processing. These tools explicitly show “Server conversion” and upload your document only when you press “Upload and convert”. Temporary server files are deleted after the response; conversion files are not kept as a library.

AI summaries and translations extract text locally, then send that text to an external AI provider through the pdfy server only when you choose “Summarize document” or “Translate document”. We request no stored API response, but the AI provider’s abuse-monitoring and other retention rules still apply. Read the AI provider’s data controls. Create PDF also offers optional AI drafting: the description, pasted details and reference text shown in its inputs are sent only when you choose Generate draft. Writing and PDF export happen locally, and drafts are not saved automatically. We do not log document text; daily request counters and day-specific hashed network identifiers are retained to enforce service limits. Raw network addresses and document text are not stored in these counters. Short-lived processing tokens stay in browser memory.

Editor drafts are stored in this browser only when you choose “Save draft”. You can restore or delete the draft in Edit PDF. Clearing site storage also removes it.

pdfy does not use accounts. If we add privacy-friendly analytics to understand which tools are popular, they will never include file names, file contents or anything you type into a tool.
