Do FramePDF's web tools upload my files?

No. They use pdf.js and pdf-lib in your browser; files are never sent to a server.

Is it safe to compress my Aadhaar online?

It is safest with an in-browser or offline tool. Also consider watermarking copies with who they are for and the date.

Server-side vs in-browser

A server-side tool sends your PDF over the internet, processes it on the provider's computer and sends the result back. An in-browser tool downloads the processing code to your device once and does all the work locally.

How to check a tool yourself

Load the tool, then turn on airplane mode before choosing your file. If it still works, the processing is happening on your device. You can also watch the Network tab in your browser's developer tools while it runs — no file upload should appear.

Offline apps

On Android, apps like FramePDF edit and shrink PDFs entirely on the phone, with no internet connection required.
