Operating principles

Basic need solved

The free browser tools can produce useful PDF output without an account.

Documents stay local

Selected PDFs are handled with browser memory, local validation and pdf-lib output in the current session.

Advanced account boundary

Batch, larger files, OCR, table extraction, history, API and teams require sandbox, antivirus and retention rules first.

Optional account features

OCR, table extraction, Office conversion and server queues need privacy, retention and security controls when files leave the browser. The free path remains in-browser.

OCR and table extraction

Text recognition can expose sensitive document content, so it is not part of the public free task.

Free path today
Small PDF edits and text-to-PDF run in browser memory with pdf-lib.
Data touched if enabled
PDF bytes, page images, extracted text, tables, language hints and confidence scores.
Controls needed
Clear OCR terms, data transfer notice, retention limits, deletion controls, confidentiality handling and accuracy disclaimers.

Office and image conversion

DOCX, PPTX, spreadsheet and image conversions need a sandboxed server or trusted file service.

Free path today
Plain text to PDF and browser-side PDF transforms only.
Data touched if enabled
Uploaded files, embedded images, metadata, generated PDFs and conversion logs.
Controls needed
File-type validation, sandboxing, antivirus where applicable, retention limit and export/delete controls.

Batch queue and API

Teams need batch folders, history and API jobs, but those features introduce account-backed storage and operational logs.

Free path today
No upload API, saved history, team team area, webhook or server queue is active.
Data touched if enabled
Account identity, file payloads, job ids, status history, callbacks and audit events.
Controls needed
Authentication, quotas, signed requests, webhook security, commercial entitlement, retention and privacy terms.
