Got Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear, honest answers about our free PDF tools and privacy model.

Is PDF Studio Free really 100% free with no hidden charges?

Yes. All core tools—including text editing, merging, splitting, signing, OCR, and password encryption—are completely free with no subscriptions, document limits, or watermarks.

Are my PDF files uploaded to a remote server?

No. Unlike other online PDF services, PDF Studio executes directly inside your browser using WebAssembly and local JavaScript memory. Your files are never uploaded to any remote server or stored in the cloud.

Do I need to install any software or browser extensions?

No installation or extension is required. PDF Studio works immediately in any modern web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) on desktop, tablet, or mobile.

Can I edit existing text in a PDF document?

Yes. PDF Studio features direct in-place text editing, allowing you to select and modify text blocks directly without converting the document to Microsoft Word.

Is it safe to process confidential business or legal documents?

Yes. Because document processing occurs 100% on your local machine, PDF Studio is ideal for sensitive financial records, legal contracts, tax documents, and medical forms.
