avalpdf vs upload-based PDF tools

A free PDF toolkit that never uploads your files

Many online PDF editors limit the free tier by file size, page count or tasks per hour, and process your documents on their servers after upload.

avalpdf takes a different approach: every tool runs inside your browser tab, so your document is read and written on your own device. There is no upload, no account, no daily cap and no premium tier.
