In-browser vs cloud

Instant

Merge, split, rotate, watermark, and number PDFs; convert PDF pages to JPG, Word, or Excel; edit, sign, and fill PDFs; compress, convert, resize, crop, rotate, and watermark images — these run with pdf-lib or Canvas in your browser. Nothing is sent to our servers. RAM in the tab is the limit, which is why each page shows an MB cap.

Use instant apps when the file is sensitive or you want a download immediately.

Cloud

Transcription, most video tools, OCR, PDF to PowerPoint, PDF compress, and photo background removal need a server. You sign in, send the file, and follow the job on the dashboard. Email notify is optional.

Originals are deleted after processing. The download stays until it expires (typically 30 days) or you delete the job.

Sign-in

Running any app requires an account so we can attach cloud jobs to a dashboard and keep a consistent workspace. The how-to and FAQ on each app page stay public so you can read them first.
