Frequently asked questions

Is the formatting preserved?

No — only the text is transferred. Layout, images, tables and fonts are not preserved. For perfect formatting you need server-side conversion.

Does this work with scanned PDFs?

No. Scanned PDFs have no text layer. Use the OCR tool first to recognise text.

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.
