General
Absolutely safe! All PDF processing happens entirely in your browser. Your files never leave your device - no uploads, no servers, no storage. We can't see your files because they never reach us.
SimplyPDF works on all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. We recommend using the latest version for the best experience.
File size limits depend on your device's memory. Most modern devices can handle files up to 100MB. For very large files, consider using our compress tool first.

Tools

We use industry-standard RC4 128-bit encryption, the same level used by professional PDF tools. Your password is processed locally and never transmitted.
Troubleshooting
First, try refreshing the page. If the issue persists, check that your PDF isn't corrupted by trying a different file. For encrypted PDFs, ensure you're using the correct password.
