1. Who we are

PDFSnip is a free browser-based PDF tool available at pdfsnip.net.

2. Your files — never uploaded

All PDF processing on PDFSnip (splitting, merging, compressing, rotating, converting) runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your files are read into browser memory and processed locally. No file data is ever sent to any server. We have no technical means to access your files.

3. What data we collect

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to collect anonymised usage statistics — pages visited, approximate country, device type. This data does not identify you personally.

Advertising

We display ads via Google AdSense to fund the free service. Google may use cookies to serve and personalise ads. You can opt out via Google Ad Settings ↗.

Hosting infrastructure

PDFSnip is hosted on GitHub Pages and delivered via Cloudflare. These services may process standard web request data (IP addresses) as part of infrastructure operation. Refer to GitHub's Privacy Statement ↗ and Cloudflare's Privacy Policy ↗.

5. Your rights

You have the right to access, correct or request deletion of any personal data relating to you. Since we collect no file content, the main data subject to these rights is analytics data. To exercise any data right, contact: [email protected]
