Frequently Asked Questions

What does "no upload" mean for a PDF tool?

It means your PDF files are processed entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly technology. The file data never leaves your device and is never sent to any server. PurePDF runs the Ghostscript engine compiled to WebAssembly plus the pdf-lib library directly in your browser tab.

Can I use these tools for HIPAA-regulated documents?

The tools listed on this page transmit nothing: the file is opened and processed inside your browser tab, so no patient data reaches our servers or any third party. That removes the transmission question, but HIPAA compliance is a property of your whole workflow, not of one tool — confirm the specifics with your compliance officer. Note that Merge PDF and the Office converters are not on this list, because they do upload.

How does WebAssembly allow PDF processing without uploading?

WebAssembly (Wasm) lets compiled native code run directly in the browser at near-native speed. PurePDF runs Ghostscript compiled to WebAssembly, so PDF operations like compression, splitting, and rotation run as local computations inside your browser tab.

Which PDF tools on PurePDF are fully browser-local?

Compress PDF, Split PDF, Rotate PDF, Crop PDF, Protect PDF, Sign PDF, Edit PDF, Watermark PDF, Redact PDF, and Repair PDF are fully browser-local. Merge PDF, image conversion, and Office conversions (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) use secure server processing over HTTPS with automatic deletion within 10 minutes — each tool page states which mode it uses.

Can I use these PDF tools for confidential legal or financial documents?

Yes. When you use the browser-local tools listed on this page, files never leave your browser — appropriate for contracts, financial statements, and other sensitive documents. No file remnants are stored on PurePDF servers.
