PDFly Hits 1 Million Users — Thank You!

We've been working hard on **pdfly** improvements, and this update delivers significant gains. Faster processing, better **hits** quality, new features you've been asking for, and the same privacy-first approach that makes PDFly different from every other PDF tool. Here's the full breakdown.

Quick summary

Milestone announcement and what's coming next for PDFly.

Privacy and security in this update

For **pdfly** users who process files daily, the cumulative time savings from this update are significant. If you process 20 hits files per day, the 3x speed improvement saves you approximately 15 minutes per day — over 60 hours per year. That's real, measurable productivity gained from a free update.

Privacy hasn't changed in this **pdfly** update because it was already perfect: zero file uploads, zero tracking, zero data collection. But we've made it easier to verify. The updated UI includes a privacy indicator that shows "Processing locally" during every operation, with a link to verify in the Network tab.

• Processing a 100MB pdfly: previously 8 seconds, now 2.5 seconds
• Compressing a 50MB hits: previously 15MB output, now 9MB average
• OCR on a 20-page scanned pdfly: previously 30 seconds, now 10 seconds
• Merging 50 hits files: previously 45 seconds, now 12 seconds
• Memory usage during pdfly processing: reduced by 40%

What's new in this pdfly update

Performance is where this **pdfly** update shines. We've rewritten core processing routines in optimized WebAssembly, reducing processing time by 3x across all tools. A 100MB hits file that took 8 seconds now processes in 2.5 seconds. Memory usage dropped 40%, meaning you can handle larger files on the same hardware.

This **pdfly** update is the result of months of development and direct user feedback. We analyzed the most common workflow bottlenecks and focused our efforts on the changes that make the biggest difference. The result: faster hits processing, new capabilities, and a cleaner interface.
