Question 1

Is this free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, completely free, with no sign-up and no limit on how many files or how many times you use it.

Question 2

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

Accepted Answer

No. Every operation on this site runs entirely on your device using JavaScript libraries loaded into your browser — your files are never uploaded anywhere.

Question 3

Do I need to install anything?

Accepted Answer

No. Every tool runs directly in your web browser using JavaScript — there's nothing to download or install.

Question 4

Is there a limit on file size or how many times I can use these tools?

Accepted Answer

No hard limit, though very large files (50MB+) or huge image batches (150+) may be slow since everything runs in your browser's memory rather than on a server.

Question 5

Do you support password-protected PDFs?

Accepted Answer

Not currently — encrypted PDFs can't be opened by this tool. Remove the password using another tool first, then use LocalPDF.

Question 6

Does this work on mobile?

Accepted Answer

Yes, every tool is designed to work on phones and tablets, including touch-friendly page reordering.

Question 7

How is this free?

Accepted Answer

Because all processing happens in your browser, there's no server cost per file. The site is supported by advertising rather than charging per use.
