Frequently asked questions

My back pages are in reverse order, now what?

Leave the "back pages are reversed" option checked. Most scanners flip the stack, putting the back pages in reverse order.

What if my scan order is different?

Uncheck the option if your back pages are already in the correct order.

Are my files uploaded?

No. Everything happens in your own browser. Your file never leaves your device and is not stored anywhere.

Is it free?

Yes, completely free, without watermark or account. The site is paid for by ads.

Why in the browser?

PDFrust runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly and modern JavaScript libraries such as pdf-lib and PDF.js. Your file is never sent to a server — all processing happens locally on your device. This means your documents remain private by design, regardless of what they contain. There is no account required, no file size limit, and nothing is stored after you close the tab.
