Document Processing

All document processing happens in your browser. PDFHarbor does not have a file upload endpoint. Your documents are processed using client-side JavaScript and never leave your device.

What We Don't Collect

  • We do not collect, store, or process your PDF files
  • We do not have access to the content of your documents
  • We do not upload your files to any server
  • We do not require you to create an account

What We May Collect

Like most websites, we may collect anonymous analytics data to improve our service:

  • General usage statistics (pages visited, time on site)
  • Browser type and device information
  • Aggregate, non-identifying data

Advertising

We display ads via Google AdSense to keep the tools free. These ads are served alongside the page and do not interact with your documents in any way. Ad-related cookies may be set by Google to serve relevant ads.

Cookies

We use minimal, essential cookies to ensure basic site functionality. Third-party ad services may set their own cookies for ad personalization.

Third-Party Services

Our PDF processing tools use open-source libraries (PDF.js, pdf-lib, and Tesseract.js) that run entirely in your browser. No third-party services have access to your documents.
