    How PDFWix works

    1

    Drop your file

    Drag a PDF (or several) into the upload area, or click to pick. Browser-side tools handle files as large as your device's RAM allows. Password-protected PDFs prompt for the password.

    2

    Process in-browser when possible

    Most PDFWix tools run inside your browser using WebAssembly — your file never leaves your device. Tools that need server help (Protect, Unlock) send the file over HTTPS and process it in memory only.

    3

    Download — nothing kept behind

    Your output is ready in seconds. Browser-side jobs leave nothing behind. Server-side jobs process the file in memory and discard it as soon as the response is returned.

    Why we built PDFWix

    Most "free" PDF tools come with strings: signups after the second task, watermarks on the output, daily caps that nudge you toward a paid plan, or quietly slow processing to make the upgrade look attractive.

    PDFWix was built differently. Every tool here is free, fast, and will stay that way. We don't sell your data, we don't store the files our server-side tools process, and we don't add watermarks to anything you create. If we ever introduce paid features, the core tools stay free — that's the promise.

    — The PDFWix Team

    Your files. Your business.

    • HTTPS on every upload and download.
    • Browser-side tools never send your file anywhere — full stop.
    • Server-side tools (Protect, Unlock) process your file in memory and never write it to disk.
    • No accounts required, no tracking pixels embedded in your downloads.
    • We never read, scan, index, or train AI models on your documents.
    • GDPR-aligned. EU users can request data access or deletion at any time.

    Frequently asked questions

    Yes. Every tool on PDFWix is free to use with no daily task limits and no watermarks added to your files. We may charge for high-volume API usage in the future, but the web tools stay free.

    No. Every tool works without signing in. An optional free account just keeps a history of your conversions (filename and tool only — never your files) and unlocks the developer API.

    Most tools (merge, split, rotate, watermark, edit, JPG↔PDF, etc.) run entirely in your browser — your file never reaches our server. The two tools that need server processing (Protect PDF, Unlock PDF) process your file in memory and never write it to disk.

    Browser-side tools handle PDFs as large as your device's RAM allows — roughly 100 MB on a typical laptop, less on phones. Server-side tools (Protect, Unlock) accept files up to about 25 MB per request.

    No. PDFWix never adds a watermark, footer, or branding to anything you create. The output is exactly what you asked for, nothing else.

    Yes. PDFWix is a web app — it runs in any modern browser on any device. There's nothing to install. You can also add it to your home screen on iOS or Android for a one-tap launcher.

    Three differences: most PDFWix tools run inside your browser (your file never leaves the device), there are no daily task caps on the free tier, and we never put a watermark on your output. See our comparison pages for the full breakdown.

    For browser-side tools, yes — your file is processed locally and never transmitted anywhere. For the two server-side tools (Protect, Unlock), files travel over HTTPS and are processed in memory only. We never read, scan, or train AI on your documents.

    Yes. There's no license restriction on what you produce with PDFWix. Use it for client work, internal documents, contracts, anything. The developer API is available if you need to embed PDF processing into your own product.
