Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 5, 2026
FreePDF Tools is designed so supported PDF and image operations happen inside your browser. This policy explains what that means and what normal website services may still receive.
Your documents and images
Files you select for the PDF tools are read by JavaScript running in your browser. FreePDF Tools does not intentionally upload the contents of those selected documents or images to our own server for conversion, and we do not provide server-side document storage. Generated files are created locally and offered back to your browser for download.
Your browser must still download the website code and third-party software libraries needed to run a tool. Those network requests are separate from the document bytes you select.
Server and hosting logs
Like most websites, the hosting provider may process technical request information needed to deliver pages, such as IP address, request time, requested URL, browser or device information, and security-related metadata. Hosting logs are controlled by the hosting provider and its applicable policies.
Open-source software libraries
Tool pages use pinned copies of pdf-lib, PDF.js, JSZip and QPDF WebAssembly served from the same website origin. The tool code is public on GitHub. Loading a tool therefore does not require a separate request to a third-party code CDN. These libraries work with document bytes held by your browser; they do not receive your selected file over a network connection.
The Unlock PDF tool passes the password entered on that page to a browser Web Worker only for the current attempt. It does not send the password to our application server, write it to site storage or add it to the offline cache. The worker is terminated after the attempt.
Offline cache
A service worker may store public HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images and open-source library code in your browser cache so tools can work offline after an initial visit. Selected PDFs, selected images, extracted text and generated downloads are not added to that cache by the site.
Advertising and cookies
FreePDF Tools uses Adsterra as its primary advertising provider to help fund the free service. Google AdSense is configured as a fallback when a supported Adsterra placement cannot fill. Advertising providers may use cookies, local storage, device identifiers or similar technologies to deliver, measure and limit ads, subject to their policies and applicable law.
Adsterra and its advertising partners may receive normal advertising and device information when an ad format is requested or displayed. Google and its advertising partners may receive advertising-related information when the AdSense fallback is active. Visitors should review the applicable provider controls and policies for their region and browser.
Where consent is legally required, advertising will be configured through an appropriate consent-management solution. A privacy or cookie settings control will be made available through that consent platform when advertising is activated for affected visitors.
Analytics
No analytics product is required for the PDF tools themselves. If privacy-respecting traffic analytics are added later, this policy will be updated before or when that collection begins.
External links
This site may link to third-party websites. Their privacy practices are their own and are not controlled by FreePDF Tools.
Children's privacy
The service is a general-purpose document utility and is not directed specifically to children. Do not use the site to process information in a way that violates applicable privacy or child-protection law.
Changes
This policy may change as hosting, advertising or site functionality changes. The date at the top will be updated when material revisions are published.
