Local PDF Processing

Use PDF and image tools that run in your browser where supported. Local workflows keep files on your device, reduce unnecessary uploads, and can continue offline after the page is loaded.

How it protects files

Your document does not leave your device for local tools.

Local processing means the browser does the work on your device. For tools that need cloud algorithms, PDFFRAME shows a cloud-processing notice before file selection.

Files stay on your device

For local-processing tools, the browser reads and processes the file on your device instead of uploading it to PDFFRAME servers.

Can work offline after loading

If the page and required assets are already loaded in your browser, many local tools can continue to run without an internet connection.

Clear cloud notice when needed

Tools that need cloud algorithms show a different notice before you choose a file, so users know when upload is required.
