- Fast Processing: WebAssembly-powered operations complete in seconds

How PDFMinty Protects Your Privacy
All 22 standard PDF operations in PDFMinty happen client-side using JavaScript and WebAssembly. When you select a file, it is loaded into your browser's memory, processed locally, and the result is generated on your device without transmitting the file over the network. The only exceptions are our 2 opt-in Cloud AI tools (AI Analyze PDF and OCR PDF), which require your explicit consent before sending extracted text or rendered page images to Google Gemini.
Our privacy-first architecture makes PDFMinty ideal for processing sensitive documents like tax returns, medical records, financial statements, legal contracts, and any file containing personal information.
