Frequently asked questions
Everything about how PDFCure works, what stays private, and what doesn't. Have a question specific to one tool? Each tool's page has its own FAQ section too.
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) are temporarily disabled for now.
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 AI tools that used to send extracted text to a server are currently disabled.
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.
