What happens to your files: nothing

When you drop a PDF, the browser reads the file into memory using the standard File API. Every operation — merging, splitting, OCR, compression, encryption — runs in JavaScript and WebAssembly on your own device. The processed file is handed back to you as a download via a local Blob. None of this involves a server.

• No upload of your files to any server.
• No account, no email, no sign-up.
• No analytics, no tracking pixels, no third-party scripts on the page.
• No profiling cookies. The only things stored locally are your language choice and your light/dark theme preference.
• No selling, sharing or mining of your data, because we don't have any in the first place.

Here is an honest list of the only outbound network requests:

1. 01Static site assets (HTML, JS, CSS, fonts) served by Lovable — same as any website.
2. 02Tesseract OCR language models, downloaded once on first use of the OCR tool from the public Tesseract CDN. They are generic dictionary files, identical for every user, and contain none of your data.
3. 03That's it. No telemetry, no error reporting, no metrics. You can verify it yourself in your browser's Network tab.

PDF.World is a static site published on Lovable. There is no application server that processes files, no database, no log of your activity, no file storage. The infrastructure literally cannot see your documents because they never reach it.

Because no personal data is collected, there is nothing to request, export or delete on our side. For technical questions about how a specific tool handles your file, the source code is the source of truth — feel free to reach out.
