Why Privacy Matters for PDF Tools

PDFs often contain sensitive information. When you use Smallpdf, iLovePDF, or similar services, your files travel over the internet to their servers, get processed, and are stored temporarily on their infrastructure. Even when they delete files after processing, the data has left your device.

With Irreva, the processing happens in your browser's JavaScript engine. The file data is loaded into browser memory, processed using pdf-lib, and the result is written directly to your downloads folder. No network request containing your file is ever made. This is the architecture that makes browser-based PDF tools genuinely private.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do my PDFs get uploaded to a server?

No. All PDF processing uses pdf-lib and PDF.js running in your browser. Your documents never leave your device — not even for a moment. You can verify this by opening your browser's network inspector and observing that no large POST requests are made when you process a file.

What is the difference between Irreva and Smallpdf or iLovePDF?

Smallpdf and iLovePDF upload your files to their servers for processing, then delete them after a period. Irreva processes everything in your browser — there are no uploads at all. This is better for confidential documents like contracts, tax returns, and medical records.

Can I merge password-protected PDFs?

You need to unlock a password-protected PDF first using the PDF Unlock tool, then merge it. Enter the password you know — this tool cannot crack or bypass unknown passwords.

Why does PDF compression reduce size less than expected?

PDFs that already consist mainly of text compress very little because text is already compact. The biggest compression gains come from PDFs containing embedded images. Scanned PDFs (images of pages) compress the most significantly.

Can I convert scanned PDFs to Word?

Scanned PDFs contain images, not text. Use the PDF OCR tool first to extract the text, then copy it into a Word document. The PDF to Word converter works best on text-based PDFs created digitally.
