Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2 November 2026
Overview
PDF Tools lets you merge, split, compress, convert and edit PDF files. This policy explains what we collect when you use the site, why we collect it and how long we keep it.
You do not need an account to use any of our tools, and we never ask for your name or email address to process a file.
Files you upload
Each file is processed in memory and the result is sent straight back to your browser. We do not save your files or the results on our server, and they are never made public, shared or used for anything other than the tool you chose.
Information we collect
Like most websites, our server records basic technical information with each request, such as your IP address, browser type and the pages you visit. We use your IP address to limit how many files can be uploaded per minute and to protect the site from abuse.
Cookies
We use a small number of cookies that are needed for the site to work: a session cookie, a security cookie that protects forms, and a cookie that remembers your chosen language.
Third-party services
Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, which receives your IP address and is covered by its own privacy policy.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you. Because we do not store your files, there is usually nothing for us to remove, but you can contact us with any request.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last changed.
