PROCESSED LOCALLY
⬡ zero uploads

Every PDF tool you need,
running inside your browser.

Compress, convert, merge, sign, redact and read scans. Choose a tool and open a file — it is processed on this device and never uploaded.

Why this is different

No document is uploaded. This can be independently verified.

Comparable services transmit your file to a server and undertake to delete it subsequently. PaperJET has no server to which a document could be sent: the tools are compiled to WebAssembly and execute within this browser tab, on your own device. Nothing is queued, nothing is capped, and the work continues if you go offline after the page has loaded.

To verify Load this page, disconnect from the network, and then compress a document. The operation completes as normal. No server-dependent service could do so.
No uploadThe file is read from local storage by the browser and does not leave it. No copy exists anywhere other than on your own device.
No account requiredNo registration, no email address and no consent banner. An account is optional and serves only to retain your preferences.
No limitsNo file size cap, no daily quota, no queue and no watermark applied to output. The only constraint is the memory of your device.
Established componentsBuilt on pdf-lib, pdf.js and Tesseract, the same libraries used across the industry, executed locally.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Are documents uploaded to a server?

No. Every tool executes within your own browser using WebAssembly. The file is read from local storage by the browser and is not transmitted, so no server holds a copy of it. This may be verified by disconnecting from the network once the page has loaded; the tools continue to function normally.

Is PaperJET free to use?

Yes. All tools are provided free of charge, with no account required, no watermark applied and no file size limit.

Can a scanned PDF be processed?

Yes. The OCR tool reads the text from a scan and can return the same scan with an invisible text layer applied, so that the document appears unchanged while becoming searchable and available for copying.

Can a PDF be converted to Word or Excel?

Yes, where the PDF already contains text. Where the file is a scan, the OCR tool should be used instead; the interface will indicate which case applies.

Is there a file size limit?

No. As processing is performed on your own device rather than on a server, the constraint is the available memory of that device rather than an upload cap.

Extract pages from a PDF

Takes the pages you want out of a document and puts them into a new one. Useful for lifting a single certificate out of a bundle, or the three relevant pages out of a hundred-page contract. Pages are transferred exactly as they were, and the work is done on your own device.

How to extract pages from a PDF

  1. Open the PDF.
  2. Select the pages to keep on the grid, or type a range such as 1-3, 7, 12-.
  3. Extract, and save the new document.
Exact copies, not re-drawings

The extracted pages are the original page objects moved into a new file. Text remains selectable, signatures and stamps are undisturbed, and no quality is lost.

Order follows the document

Extracted pages appear in the order they had in the source document, whatever order you selected them in.

Questions about extracting pages

Is my document uploaded to extract pages?

No. The extraction happens in this browser tab, on your own device, and nothing is transmitted.

How do I extract a single page?

Select just that page on the grid, or type its number in the range box. The result is a one-page PDF.

Can I extract non-consecutive pages?

Yes. Type them as a list, for example 1-3, 7, 12-, or click them individually on the grid.

Is the original document changed?

No. A new file is produced and the original on your disk is left exactly as it was.
