How it works

pdfpix is not a website that borrows your file for a minute. The tools are code, your browser downloads that code once, and then your own machine does the work.

Your computer, inside one browser tab

  1. You choose a PDF

    The page opens the file straight from your disk. No upload, no queue, no progress bar to sit through.

  2. Your browser does the job

    The tool runs on your own processor. A big file is limited by your machine, never by somebody's plan.

  3. Verified before download

    The tool opens its own result again, reads it back and compares it with your original. A result that fails is never offered to you.

Your document never crosses this line

What our server does, and what it never sees

Our servers send your browser the code for this page, and they count one anonymous page view. That is the whole list. Because they never receive your document, there is nothing for us to store, nothing to leak and nothing to delete afterwards.

How do we compare?

Every site here is free to start. What separates them is what happens after the first file, and where your document sits while the work is done.
