About BrowserPDF
BrowserPDF is a set of PDF tools with one defining rule: your files never leave your device. There is no server that receives your documents, because every operation — merging, splitting, compressing, converting — is computed by code running inside your own browser tab. That makes it a sensible place to handle the documents you would not want to upload anywhere: tax forms, contracts, medical records, and scanned IDs.
The site is a fully static website. There are no accounts, no uploads, and no analytics tied to your files. The tools work the same whether you are online or, once a tool has loaded, offline.
Open-source libraries
The engine is built on permissively licensed open-source software, used unmodified in the browser:
- pdf-lib (MIT) — creating and editing PDFs: merge, split, rotate, page numbers, and image embedding.
- pdf.js (Apache-2.0, by Mozilla) — rendering PDF pages to images for the PDF-to-JPG/PNG and compression tools.
- jsPDF (MIT) — available for client-side PDF generation.
- fflate (MIT) — packaging multi-file results into a single zip download.
Each library keeps its own license; the marks above belong to their respective projects. See the terms for the usual legal notes.
