We believe privacy is a right, not a feature. That's why FreePDFSnap is built so that your files never leave your device — ever.
Last updated: June 2026The short version FreePDFSnap processes all files directly inside your browser using JavaScript. Nothing is ever uploaded to our servers, stored in the cloud, or shared with anyone. We genuinely cannot see your files — the architecture makes it impossible.
Welcome to FreePDFSnap. We operate the website at freepdfsnap.com and offer a suite of free, browser-based tools for working with PDF and image files. This Privacy Policy describes how we handle information — and more importantly, how we don't — when you use our service.
We wrote this policy to be read by real people, not lawyers. If something is unclear, please reach out and we'll clarify.
Every tool on FreePDFSnap — image compression, PDF merging, format conversion, watermarking, text extraction — runs entirely within your web browser using standard browser APIs and JavaScript libraries. This is not a marketing claim; it is a technical fact about how the product is built.
What this means for you:
Once you close your browser tab, any temporary data used during processing is discarded automatically by the browser.
We collect a minimal amount of non-personal data to understand how the service is used and to improve it over time:
localStorage. This data lives entirely on your device and is never sent anywhere.localStorage so it persists between visits. Again, this stays on your device only.We do not use tracking cookies, fingerprinting, or any cross-site tracking technology.
FreePDFSnap loads several open-source libraries from public CDNs to power its tools. These libraries execute locally in your browser and do not receive your file data:
Loading resources from these CDNs means their servers will receive your IP address as part of a standard HTTP request. We recommend reviewing their respective privacy policies if this is a concern for you.
FreePDFSnap currently displays no advertisements and works with no advertising networks. If we introduce advertising in the future, we will update this policy in advance, clearly disclose all ad providers, and ensure compliance with applicable privacy regulations including GDPR and CCPA.
FreePDFSnap is a general-purpose productivity tool and is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to remove it.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as the product evolves. When we make significant changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
Continued use of FreePDFSnap after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
