Verify it yourself

Your file is not uploaded. Here is how to check.

The core tools run inside your browser tab, so a document you open here is not sent to FreePDFKit or to anyone else. You can confirm that in about a minute.

  1. Step 1

    Open the tool and let it load

    Wait until the page has finished loading.

  2. Step 2

    Open your browser’s developer tools

    Press F12 (or Cmd+Option+I on a Mac) and switch to the Network tab.

  3. Step 3

    Run the tool on a test file

    Choose a non-sensitive file of the type the tool accepts and process it as usual.

  4. Step 4

    Look for a request that carries the file

    You will not find one. The page loads its own scripts, then the work happens in your browser.

What backs this up

  • Open-source libraries in the page. PDF handling uses libraries such as pdf-lib and Mozilla’s PDF.js, which run in your browser.
  • No PDF endpoint on the server. The only server routes are the contact form and the social-preview image generator.
  • A restrictive security policy. The site’s Content-Security-Policy limits the fetch and XHR connections page scripts can make to our own origin, Google analytics services and Cloudflare’s anti-spam check.
