Everything happens in your browser
Most "free" PDF tools quietly upload your file to a server. PDFly processes documents locally on your device using WebAssembly — your contracts, IDs, and drafts never leave your machine.
- No file upload to a remote server
- Works offline once the page is loaded
- Nothing to delete later — there's nothing stored
- No queueing behind other users
- No file-size throttling
- Batch multiple files without slowdown
Processing locally
No network request sent
Median tool completion time: under 2 seconds
Built for speed
No upload queue, no server round-trip, no waiting behind other people's files. Because processing happens on your own hardware, most operations finish before a typical page finishes loading.
AI that reads your documents, not your data
Ask questions, get a plain-language summary, or translate a contract in seconds. Our AI tools process only the specific request you make — nothing is stored or used to train models.

What people say
Liked by people who'd rather not think about PDFs
"I stopped recommending the other tools once I noticed PDFly doesn't ask me to sign up just to rotate a page."

"The compress tool got a 40MB scan down to 6MB without turning the text to mush. That's rarer than it should be."

"Chat with PDF found the one clause I needed in a 90-page lease in about ten seconds. Saved me an afternoon."

Questions
Frequently asked
Is PDFly actually free?
Yes. Every tool listed is free to use, with no page limits, watermarks, or trial period.
Do you store or see my files?
No. Most tools process files locally in your browser, so they're never transmitted anywhere. Where a tool needs server-side processing (like some AI features), files are used only for that single request and are not retained afterward.
Is there a file size limit?
No artificial limit. Since processing happens on your device for most tools, the practical limit is your own browser's available memory.
Do I need to create an account?
No sign-up is required for any tool on PDFly.
What file formats are supported?
PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, JPG, PNG, HTML, EPUB, TXT, and ZIP, depending on the tool.
