Privacy-first PDF tools
Most SnapPDF tools process files in your browser over HTTPS — no account, no signup wall. Compress, merge, split, reorder, edit, and image conversions stay on your device. A few layout-heavy conversions may use a short-lived server step so tables and images survive; those files are not kept as a browsing archive. Read the privacy policy and the guide on browser PDF privacy.
