Zero-Knowledge Architecture

Fundamentally Secure by Design

We don't just promise not to look at your documents—our architecture makes it technologically impossible.

100% Local Execution

Every operation occurs within your browser's memory sandbox. Your CPU does the work, not ours.

Zero Server Uploads

No files are ever transmitted over the internet. No cloud processing, no temp files, no egress.

No Data Retention

When you close the tab, the data ceases to exist. We have no databases storing your sensitive information.

The Threat Model

Traditional Cloud PDF Tools
1

Risk: Your confidential file travels across public ISP networks.

2

Risk: Files are saved to temporary cloud drives where they can be breached.

3

Risk: Companies scan files for metadata to sell to advertisers.

The PDFMill Architecture
1

Code Delivery: We send our WebAssembly app to your browser.

2

Local Processing: You drop a PDF, and your own CPU processes it instantly in RAM.

3

Absolute Privacy: The file never left your hard drive.

Verify It Yourself

Don't trust marketing copy. You can easily verify our zero-data-egress claim using your browser's developer tools.
