Private by design — your files never leave your browser
PDFCure gives you every tool you need to work with your documents quickly and confidently — all while keeping your files private, your data secure, and your workflow entirely in your control.
Nothing leaves your device
Every editing tool — merge, split, compress, sign, and more — runs entirely in your browser. Your files are never sent to any server.
No account, no watermark
Open a tool, upload a file, get your result. No sign-up wall, no email capture, no watermarks added to your documents.
Transparent about the exceptions
The AI tools (Summarize, Ask, Translate) send text — not your file — to a server, and require a Google sign-in with a one-use-per-day limit. Every other tool stays fully on-device with no account.
Frequently asked questions
Is PDFCure actually free?+
Yes. Every tool runs in your browser with no account, no watermark, and no page limit we impose. The AI tools (Summarize, Ask your PDF, Translate, AI HTML↔PDF, Detect Plagiarism) are the one exception — they send extracted text to Claude, so they need a free Google sign-in and have a small daily limit.
Do you upload my files to a server?+
No — every tool here processes your files entirely on your device, and nothing is uploaded to a server. The only exception is the AI tools, which send the extracted text (not the file) to Claude to do their work.
Is there a file size limit?+
There's no artificial limit we impose, but since processing happens in your browser, very large files (500+ MB or 1,000+ pages) are limited by your device's memory rather than by us.
Do I need to create an account?+
No. Every tool works immediately, with no sign-up.
Does this work on mobile?+
Yes — the site is fully responsive, and it's installable as an app on both iOS and Android via 'Add to Home Screen.'
Can I use this offline?+
Yes, once you've installed it (or just visited it once) — every tool keeps working with no internet connection.
