PDFAny is a client-side toolkit. There is no backend, no file server, and no processing happens anywhere but your own browser. When you open a PDF it is read by JavaScript ( pdf-lib and pdfjs-dist) running locally on your machine, and the resulting document is saved back to your device by your browser's download mechanism.

There is quite literally nowhere for your files to go — even if we wanted to see them, we could not.

Everything you see on the site is a static Next.js application. Every tool runs through this flow:

1. You pick a PDF (or image) in your browser — it is read from your disk into memory.
2. The document is processed locally by libraries bundled into the page. Nothing is transmitted over the network at any point.
3. The result is generated client-side and downloaded to your device, or shown on screen.

The only server-side work is serving the web pages themselves (static hosting). The server never receives the contents of your documents, never sees the names of your files, and stores nothing.

Nothing about your files — only anonymized page-view counts. PDFAny uses:

• no accounts, logins, or profiles
• no tracking pixels, cookies, or fingerprinting
• no advertising
• no logging of your activity or document content

Vercel Analytics tallies aggregate, cookieless page views so we know which tools people use. It sees only that a page was loaded — never the contents or names of your files. Page views are processed in batches and stored without cookies or personal identifiers. We keep no other data: there is nothing to collect, sell, or share, and nothing to delete.

The only thing your browser keeps is your theme preference (light or dark), saved in localStorage on your own device. It stays in your browser and is never sent anywhere. The PDFs you work on are never persisted — they exist only in the page's memory while you use it.

Fonts are bundled with the site and are not loaded from a third-party network. The link preview (Open Graph) image includes the author's public GitHub avatar, fetched from github.com when a preview is generated — this is a public image and contains no site data.

The site links out to the author's portfolio, GitHub, X, LinkedIn and email. Those are external sites with their own policies; opening a link is the only way your browser contacts them.
