Edit PDFs without uploading them anywhere
Most online PDF editors quietly upload your file to a server. PDF Editor AI doesn't. The 'open' button is a local file picker, not an uploader.

Pick a PDF from your device. Nothing is uploaded.
All processing happens in your browser tab.

Your privacy, by architecture
PDF Editor AI is a static web app with no backend that accepts your file. Every operation runs inside your browser tab using pdf-lib and PDF.js. You can verify this by opening DevTools and watching the Network tab — there is no outbound request carrying your document. Disconnect from the internet after the page loads and the tool keeps working. There is no account, no telemetry on your files, and no third-party data processor in the loop.
Frequently asked questions
Do my PDF files leave my device?
No. PDF Editor AI runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly and JavaScript. Your file is opened from your local disk, processed in memory inside the browser tab, and the resulting PDF is saved back to your device. No file is ever uploaded to a server, queued, logged, or stored. You can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and the tool still works.
How can I verify nothing is uploaded?
Open your browser's DevTools Network tab before processing your file. You'll see zero outbound requests carrying your document.
