Pick a workflow, then upload. Your file still stays in this browser.

This helper only prepares a browser-local plan. Upload only after you choose a workflow.
Document-content AI is disabled for now.
Future features that read PDF pages or text will require explicit consent and will show exactly what would be sent. Nothing here sends file bytes, OCR text, passwords, or document contents.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a file size limit?
There is no hard file size limit. Since processing happens in your browser, the limit depends on your device's available memory. Most devices can handle files up to 100MB without issues.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. All PDF operations run locally in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your documents never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy.
Does this work on mobile devices?
Yes. The PDF Workspace is fully responsive and works on smartphones and tablets, though complex operations like merging many files may be faster on a desktop or laptop.
