Why You Should Only Use Private Browser PDF Tools

The Hidden Danger of 'Free' Tools

When a product is free, you are the product. Many free online PDF editors upload your bank statements, legal contracts, and medical records to remote servers. You have no guarantee they are deleted immediately.

The Rise of Local-First Web Apps

Modern web technologies like WebAssembly (Wasm) and HTML5 Canvas allow complex processing to happen locally. Your browser downloads the 'app' (the Javascript), and the app processes the files directly on your CPU.

Verifying Privacy

You can verify a local-first app like EzSizer by turning off your Wi-Fi after the page loads. You'll find that all the tools still work perfectly, proving no data is being sent over the internet.
