Most tools run entirely in your browser — your file is never uploaded
anywhere. The few that need server-side conversion (like PDF to Word or OCR) send your file
over HTTPS, convert it, and delete it immediately after — nothing is read or stored.
Instant processing
Because most tools run in your browser, there's no upload wait —
processing starts the moment you drop a file, even for large PDFs and multi-file batches.
Zero friction
No account. No credit card. No watermarks. Upload a file, download the
result. Every tool, every time, completely free.
FAQ
Common questions
Most PDFcrest tools process your file entirely in your browser — it's never
uploaded anywhere. The few that require server-side conversion (PDF to Word, Word to PDF, OCR)
send your file over HTTPS and delete it immediately after conversion. We do not read, store, or
train on your content.
No account, email, or credit card required — ever. Open any tool, upload your
file, and download the result. That's it.
You can process files up to 50MB. All tools are completely free with no daily
limits on the number of conversions.
Go to the PDF to Word tool, upload your PDF, and the conversion starts
automatically. Download the editable DOCX when complete — formatting, tables, and images
carry over in most documents, though very complex layouts may need minor touch-ups.
Yes. PDFcrest's Compress PDF tool re-encodes embedded images to shrink file
size — often 50-90% on image-heavy or scanned PDFs, less on text-only files — while keeping
pages visually sharp. It runs entirely in your browser, so the file is never uploaded.
Most tools never upload your file at all — everything happens in your
browser. For the few that require server-side processing, the file is deleted immediately
after conversion completes. Nothing is stored long-term.
