Privacy Policy

Your files stay on your device

PixPDF is designed so that document processing happens locally in your browser whenever the tool allows it. When processing is local, your files are not uploaded to our servers — they never leave your device.

When a tool requires server-side processing, files are transferred over an encrypted connection, used only to complete the task you requested, and are not kept permanently.

Local history

PixPDF can keep a history of recently processed files on your device (using browser storage) so you can re-download results. This history never leaves your device and you can clear it at any time.

What we collect

We collect no document content. We may collect anonymous, aggregate usage statistics (pages visited, features used) to improve the product. We do not sell data and do not use advertising trackers.

Third-party services

The AI tools (AI PDF Summary, Ask PDF) send the text extracted from your PDF in your browser — plus images of pages that have no text layer — to Google's Gemini API to generate answers. The PDF file itself is not uploaded.

To prevent automated abuse of the AI tools, your browser completes a Cloudflare Turnstile check before first use. Cloudflare processes technical signals (such as your IP address and browser characteristics) only to tell people from bots.

Cookies

After that check, PixPDF sets one strictly necessary cookie, pixpdf_sid: a random anonymous identifier, valid for 7 days, used only to apply fair-use limits to the AI tools. It is not linked to your identity and is not used for advertising or tracking.
