Security & Privacy
Your files contain sensitive information. Here's exactly how PDFBro handles them.
Files Stay in Your Browser
For all standard PDF and image operations (merge, split, compress, sign, annotate, rotate, convert images, OCR, etc.), PDFBro processes files entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your files never travel over the network. This is the strongest possible data protection — there's no server to breach.
Server-Side Tools — HTTPS + 1-Hour Deletion
A small number of complex operations (PDF to Word, Word to PDF, PDF to Excel, PDF to PowerPoint, GIF/MP4 conversions) require server processing because the required software can't run in a browser. These files are transmitted over HTTPS/TLS, processed immediately, and automatically deleted within 1 hour of the request completing.
No Tracking, No Profiling
PDFBro doesn't set tracking cookies, doesn't build user profiles, and doesn't sell data to advertisers. We use privacy-respecting analytics (aggregate traffic only) to understand which tools are used. We have no email newsletter, no CRM, and no remarketing audiences.
Security Headers on Every Response
Every PDFBro response includes: X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options (DENY), Referrer-Policy, and X-XSS-Protection headers. Content Security Policy is enforced on all pages.
