Are online PDF tools safe?
Not all PDF websites work the same way. Understanding where your files are processed matters.
PDFCraftify is built around local browser processing for core tools so your documents stay on your device.
Cloud upload vs browser processing
Many PDF sites upload your file to a server, process it remotely, and return a download. That can be convenient but means your document travels over the internet and is stored temporarily on someone else's infrastructure.
PDFCraftify takes a different approach for merge, split, crop, stamp, convert, and form fill: processing runs in your browser with JavaScript. Those files are not sent to PDFCraftify servers for those tools.
What you should still check
Use a trusted browser on a device you control. Avoid public computers for sensitive documents. Read each tool's privacy notes — some advanced features on any platform may use server processing when clearly stated.
Why local processing matters
Contracts, medical forms, financial statements, and ID scans are common PDF tasks. Keeping files on-device reduces exposure and is often faster because there is no upload wait.
