All tools are offered in good faith; however, PDFly makes no representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, adequacy, validity, reliability, availability, or completeness of any information or tool output.
PDFly is a free, browser-based PDF processing platform. All file processing occurs locally in your browser using WebAssembly. Your files are never uploaded to our servers, and we do not have access to your documents at any point during processing.
No Warranty
The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to:
- Merchantability — We do not warrant that the Service is merchantable or fit for a particular purpose.
- Fitness for a particular use — The suitability of any tool for a specific task is your responsibility to evaluate.
- Non-infringement — While we strive to ensure our tools do not infringe on third-party rights, we cannot guarantee this in all jurisdictions.
- Uninterrupted service — We do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free at all times.
Any action you take upon the information or output you receive from the Service is strictly at your own risk. PDFly will not be liable for any losses or damages in connection with the use of the Service.

- Any information, output, or documents obtained through the Service
- Unauthorized access to or alteration of your documents or data
- Errors, omissions, or inaccuracies in tool output

Because PDFly processes all files locally in your browser, we have no access to your documents and cannot be responsible for data loss or corruption that may occur during local processing. We strongly recommend maintaining backup copies of all important files before using any PDF tool.
Accuracy of Results
While we strive to provide high-quality, accurate results across all 55+ tools, the output quality may vary depending on several factors:
- Input file quality — Scanned, corrupted, or low-resolution PDFs may produce suboptimal results, particularly with OCR and conversion tools.
- File complexity — PDFs with complex layouts, embedded fonts, or unusual formatting may not convert or process perfectly.
- AI-powered tools — AI Chat, Summarizer, and Translator results are generated by AI models and may occasionally contain inaccuracies or hallucinations. Always verify AI-generated content.
- Browser capabilities — Processing performance and results may vary depending on your browser, device, and available memory.
We continuously improve our tools and welcome feedback through our contact page or Help Center.
