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.

Remove pages from a PDF

Deletes the pages you do not want and copies everything else across unaltered. People search for this rather than for "split", because the intention is usually to get rid of a cover sheet, a blank page or a duplicated scan. The operation runs in this browser tab and the document is never transmitted.

How to remove pages from a PDF

  1. Open the PDF. Every page appears as a thumbnail.
  2. Mark the pages to be removed, or type a range such as 1-3, 7, 12-.
  3. Save. The remaining pages are copied across byte-for-byte.
The pages you keep are untouched

Everything not marked for removal is transferred exactly as it was, not re-rendered. Text stays selectable and image quality is unchanged.

The original is not modified

A new document is produced and the file on your disk is left alone, so a mistaken selection costs nothing.

Questions about removing pages

Is the PDF uploaded to remove pages?

No. The operation runs in this browser tab and the document is not transmitted at any point.

Can I remove several pages at once?

Yes. Mark as many as you like on the grid, or type a range such as 1-3, 7, 12-, where the trailing dash means to the end of the document.

Does removing pages affect the quality of the rest?

No. The retained pages are copied across without re-encoding, so they are identical to the originals.

What is the difference between removing and extracting pages?

They are the same operation inverted. Removing discards the pages you mark; extracting keeps only the pages you mark. Use whichever selection is shorter to make.
