Frequently Asked Questions

Is JadePDF really private? +
Yes. 80% of our tools run entirely in your browser using WebAssembly and JavaScript. Your PDFs never leave your device. For the 20% that need server processing, files are deleted within 60 seconds.
What does "80% browser-only" mean? +
It means most of our tools process your PDFs directly in your web browser using technologies like WebAssembly, PDF.js, and pdf-lib. No upload, no server, no data collection.
How is JadePDF different from iLovePDF or Smallpdf? +
Unlike competitors who upload all files to their servers, JadePDF processes 80% of operations directly in your browser. We're also completely free with no daily limits or watermarks.
Can I use JadePDF offline? +
Not yet, but we're working on a desktop app. For now, you need an internet connection to load the page, but the actual PDF processing happens in your browser.
Does it work on mobile? +
Yes! JadePDF works on iOS, Android, and any device with a modern web browser. The interface is fully responsive.
What is the file size limit? +
Most tools support files up to 25MB. For larger files, try our compression tool first.
Can I process multiple files at once? +
Yes! Many tools support batch processing. Look for the "Batch up to X files" badge on the tool card.
