We process PDFs in your browser to keep our server costs down. Your file is not uploaded by default.
1Pick a tool
Merge, Split, and Organize show page cards you can drag. Compress, Unlock, Rotate, and JPG or PNG to PDF use a simple form after you choose a file. All of them run on this device.
2Process locally in your browser
Heavy work runs in a Web Worker on this device. Local processing is how we avoid paying to host every PDF on our servers. By default the PDF itself is not uploaded.

Save the output file to your device when the run finishes. Optional: open DevTools, select Network, and confirm the PDF was not posted to a remote host.
About this site
This website is https://dragpdf.org. Its name is DragPDF, and DragPDF belongs to this website. There is no separate company name. The author is ryo. Contact ryo at YoulitWork@Gmail.com.
ryo developed DragPDF. After you choose a file, the tool runs in a Web Worker on that device.
These pages are for someone who opens the site and needs to finish a PDF job. Files stay on the device by default so we do not pay to process every PDF on a server. To check: open DevTools, select Network, run a tool, and confirm the PDF is not posted. Page assets may still load from this site.
What is DragPDF?
DragPDF is a set of PDF tools that run in your browser on this device. Merge, Split, and Organize are visual: you drag page cards to decide order or which pages go into which file. Compress, Unlock, Rotate, and image-to-PDF tools use a form instead of a page board. We process files locally so we do not have to run expensive server-side PDF jobs. By default your PDF is not uploaded.
Is my PDF uploaded when I use DragPDF?
By default, no. Tools process the PDF in your browser so we do not pay to store or transform every file on our servers. Open DevTools, select Network, run a tool, and confirm the PDF is not posted to a remote host. Page assets may still load from this site; the PDF itself is not sent on the default path.
Which PDF tools can I use on DragPDF?
Live tools are Compress, Unlock, Merge, Split, Rotate, Organize, JPG to PDF, and PNG to PDF. Merge, Split, and Organize use drag-and-drop page cards when thumbnails are shown. The others are form-based: you pick a file, set options, and run. Compress reduces size. Unlock clears a permission lock or decrypts when you already know the open password.
Do I need an account to use DragPDF?
No. You use the tools in your browser without creating an account. There is no credit system on these paths, and you do not install a desktop app.
Is DragPDF free to use?
Yes. The live tools run in your browser with no account and no credit system. We process files locally so we do not pay to host every PDF job on our servers.
How can I check that my PDF stays on this device?
Open developer tools, select Network, run a tool, and confirm the PDF is not posted to a remote host. Page assets may still load from this site; the PDF itself is not sent on the default path.
