How it works

Three steps. Zero servers.

STEP 01
You choose a file
It loads into memory in this browser tab — same way an image would when you preview it.
STEP 02
WebAssembly does the work
A vetted PDF engine compiled to WASM runs inside the page sandbox. No JS eval, no remote code.
STEP 03
You download the result
The output exists only as a blob URL. Close the tab and every byte is gone — including the original.
Privacy by architecture

You can't leak what you never collect.

We don't have a server. There is no deletion policy because there's no place for your file to go.

Free Online PDF Tools — No Uploads, No Signups

PDF Cloak is a collection of free PDF tools that process files entirely in your browser. Every operation — merging, splitting, converting, compressing, watermarking, and more — runs on your device using WebAssembly and JavaScript. No file ever leaves your computer. There are no accounts to create, no email addresses to hand over, and no daily quotas enforced by a remote server. Open a tool, drop a file, and download the result. Close the tab, and nothing remains.

Organize

Merge PDFs combines any number of documents into a single file with drag-to-reorder support. Split PDF breaks a document apart by page range, by bookmarks, or into one file per page. Rotate PDF fixes sideways scans and flipped pages in a visual editor. Reorder Pages lets you rearrange pages by dragging thumbnails. Delete Pages removes unwanted pages instantly, and Extract Pages pulls specific pages into a new document.

Convert

JPG to PDF bundles photos, scans, and screenshots into a properly sized PDF. PNG to PDF does the same for lossless PNG images. Going the other direction, PDF to JPG exports every page as a JPEG image at any DPI you choose, and PDF to PNG produces lossless PNG exports at any resolution. All conversions preserve the original quality of the source material.

Enhance

Add Watermarkstamps text or images across every page — useful for marking drafts, adding logos, or branding documents before distribution. Add Page Numbers inserts customizable page numbering with control over position, format, font size, and starting number.

Secure

Compress PDF reduces file size through image optimization and metadata stripping, making documents easier to email and store. Protect PDF adds password encryption so only authorized recipients can open the file. Unlock PDF removes password restrictions from files you own or have permission to access.

Why local processing matters

Most online PDF tools upload your files to a remote server, process them there, and send back the result. That means your confidential contracts, tax returns, medical records, and personal documents pass through third-party infrastructure. PDF Cloak takes a different approach. The entire processing engine — built on pdf-lib for structural PDF manipulation and PDF.jsfor page rendering — runs inside your browser tab. Your files exist only in your device's memory while the tab is open. There is no server to breach, no database to leak, and no upload log to subpoena. For privacy-sensitive documents, local processing is not a convenience feature — it is the only responsible approach.
