The difference
Everyone else uploads your file. We don't.
When you use iLovePDF, Smallpdf, or LightPDF, your document travels to their servers. That's how they work — they have to. QuillPDF is built differently: the entire tool runs inside your browser using WebAssembly and browser APIs. Your file never leaves the tab.
You can confirm this right now. Open your browser's Network tab, run any QuillPDF tool, and watch your file. Zero uploads. Not a privacy policy — a technical fact.

Every word editable — even inside a scan.
Open any PDF in the editor and change its text in place. When a page is a scan — an image of text, not text — QuillPDF runs OCR right in your browser and makes those words editable too.
The same rule applies: the scan never leaves your tab. How scan editing works.
