Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-11-10

This policy explains what information PDF Free (https://pdffree.org) collects, how it is used and the choices you have.

Your files

All PDF and image tools work inside your web browser. The files you select are read and processed on your own device. They are not uploaded to our servers or to anyone else, and we cannot see them. Results are created on your device and saved to your downloads.

Software libraries and language data

To keep pages fast, some tools load open-source libraries (pdf-lib, pdf.js, JSZip, heic2any, Tesseract.js) from the public jsDelivr content delivery network when you use them. The OCR tool also downloads language data the first time you use a language. Like any website request, these services receive your IP address and browser information; they do not receive your files.

Information stored on your device

We use your browser's local storage to remember your light or dark mode choice. The OCR tool's language data may be cached by your browser so it loads faster next time.

Advertising and cookies

We use Google AdSense to show advertising. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet.

• You can opt out of personalized advertising in Google Ads Settings.
• You can opt out of some third-party vendors' cookies at aboutads.info.
• Learn more at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland are shown a consent message, provided through a Google-certified consent management platform, before any personalized advertising cookies are used.

Analytics and server logs

We may use analytics such as Google Analytics to understand which pages are useful. Our hosting provider keeps standard server logs (IP address, browser type, pages visited) for security and performance. These never include your files.

Children

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal data, or to object to its use. Contact us at contact@pdffree.org.
