About PixelDocs

PixelDocs is a privacy-first, browser-only toolkit for PDF and image processing. Every tool runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript APIs. No files ever leave your device.

Why PixelDocs?

Most online PDF and image tools ask you to upload your files to their servers. This means your documents — which may contain sensitive information — are out of your control. PixelDocs was built to solve this: all processing happens locally in your browser, using Web Workers, Canvas, and pdf-lib.

Privacy Policy

1. Files Never Leave Your Device

All PDF and image processing is done in your browser using JavaScript APIs (Web Workers, Canvas, OffscreenCanvas, pdf-lib). When you select a file, it is read into memory on your device. No file data is ever transmitted over the network. No upload endpoints exist.

2. No Personal Data Collected

PixelDocs does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. There are no accounts, no login, no email required. We have no servers, no databases, and no analytics tracking.

3. Local Storage Usage

PixelDocs uses only the following browser storage mechanisms:

  • localStorage — stores your theme preference (light / dark / system). No user identifiers.
  • sessionStorage — stores dismissed ad slot state within your current browsing session. Cleared when you close the tab.
  • IndexedDB — temporarily buffers files for inter-tool passing (e.g., compress a PDF then send it to Merge). Files are automatically removed after 30 minutes or on download.

No cookies are used by PixelDocs itself. Third-party ads (see section 6) may use cookies per their own policies.

4. No Analytics or Tracking

PixelDocs does not use Google Analytics, Mixpanel, or any other analytics or tracking services. Your usage is completely anonymous.

5. Third-Party Services

The only third-party services used are:

  • Alpine.js — loaded via CDN for interactive UI components.
  • idb — loaded via CDN for cleaner IndexedDB access.
  • Google AdSense — loaded lazily only after your first interaction (click/scroll). AdSense may use cookies for ad personalization. See Google's Privacy Policy for details. In GDPR regions, a cookie consent banner will be displayed.
  • CDN-hosted libraries — pdf-lib and pdf.js are loaded on PDF tool pages only. These are static library files and do not transmit your data.

6. Data Retention

Files processed in PixelDocs exist only in your browser's memory and are never persisted on any server. IndexedDB entries for cross-tool file passing are automatically pruned after 30 minutes. You can also clear them at any time by closing the browser tab.
