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.

Convert PDF to PowerPoint

Turns each page of a PDF into a slide, keeping the text editable. The artwork of the page becomes the slide background with the type lifted out of it, and every line of text is placed above as a genuine text box — positioned correctly, in the original font and colour. The conversion runs on your own device.

How to convert PDF to PowerPoint

  1. Open the PDF.
  2. Convert. Each page becomes one slide.
  3. Save the .pptx and open it in PowerPoint, Keynote or Google Slides.
Real text boxes, not a picture of a slide

Most converters produce slides that are simply images of the pages, which look right and cannot be edited. Here the text is lifted out and placed as editable text boxes over the remaining artwork, so wording can actually be changed.

Design-heavy pages need tidying

A PDF describes a finished page, not a slide layout. Straightforward decks convert well; pages with intricate overlapping artwork will need adjustment afterwards.

Questions about converting PDF to PowerPoint

Is the PDF uploaded to convert it?

No. The conversion runs entirely in this browser tab and the document is not transmitted.

Will the text be editable in PowerPoint?

Yes. Text is placed in genuine text boxes in the original font and colour, rather than being baked into a background image as most converters do.

Can a scanned PDF be converted to slides?

The pages will convert, but a scan has no text to lift out, so the slides will be images. Run OCR first if the text needs to be editable.

Is there a limit on the number of slides?

No. There is no page cap and no watermark on the output, because there is no server cost to recover.
