Privacy: your files stay yours

PDFBoogie is a static website with no backend. Every operation — compressing, converting, signing and filling — runs in your browser, on your device. This is a design constraint, not a policy promise: there is no server that could receive your documents, because there is no server.

What happens to your files

  • They are read locally. Your browser reads the file from disk via the File API — the same way it would for any local file picker.
  • They are processed locally. PDF rendering (Mozilla PDF.js), structural optimization (a small Rust/WASM core), form filling and PDF creation (pdf-lib) all run in-process or in a same-origin web worker.
  • They leave only as your download. The result is written to your downloads folder by the browser. Closing the tab frees the memory; nothing is stored, cached or indexed.

What we do NOT do

  • Upload, store or log your documents — we physically cannot.
  • Collect analytics on you. There are no trackers, no cookies and no fingerprinting.
  • Require an account, email address or payment to use any tool.

Donations

Every tool is free and unlimited. The processing happens on your device, but the site still needs hosting and maintenance. If you use PDFBoogie a lot, you can send a voluntary donation directly to one of these wallets — straight from you to the maintainer, with no middleman, no tracking and no impact on the tools. It is entirely optional.

Third-party scripts

By default this site loads zero external scripts — the HTML, CSS and JavaScript are all served from this origin under a strict Content-Security-Policy. If the site is later monetized with Google AdSense, ad scripts are loaded only when a publisher key is configured, and they never receive your documents.
