iLovePDF uploads your file. We can't — there's no server.

If your PDFs contain client data, payroll info, contracts or API secrets, a server-side tool is a leak waiting to happen. iSharePDF runs 23 tools in the browser only. Designed for these three workflows.

For lawyers

Redact, merge, sign contracts and NDAs without leaking client data to a third-party processor. No GDPR/CCPA questions, no DPA amendment, no breach-window worry.

For accountants & HR

Process payslips, IBANs, tax returns and employment contracts entirely offline. The bytes never leave the laptop they came from — including on a hotel Wi-Fi.

For IT & devs

Audit-friendly by design: open DevTools, watch the Network tab while you process a PDF containing API keys or a security audit, see zero outbound requests.

How to verify it yourself — 30 seconds

  1. Open the web app at isharepdf.com/app
  2. Press F12 to open DevTools, then click the Network tab and check "Preserve log"
  3. Use any tool with a real PDF — merge, OCR, sign, whatever. Watch the Network tab.

You will see zero outbound request carrying your file. iLovePDF, SmallPDF, Sejda and Adobe Acrobat Online all upload your PDF on click — try the same test on their sites and compare.

The guide

Work on your PDFs online, for free and without uploading them

iSharePDF brings together 23 PDF tools in a single interface: compress, convert, merge, split, sign or protect a document, without installing any software. Most operations run directly in your browser via WebAssembly, which keeps your files private and delivers the result in seconds.

Compress and convert without losing quality

Shrink a PDF to email it, or turn it into images, Excel and PowerPoint, and back. Conversions preserve the original layout, fonts and images.

Organize, sign and secure

Merge several documents, reorder pages by drag and drop, add a handwritten signature or a password. Free covers all 23 tools, with a small "via iSharePDF" note that the Pro plan removes.
