Local PDF processing

Most PDF tools process your document in your browser. AI summarization and translation send extracted text and instructions through BoltPDF’s API to external AI providers. Provider handling depends on the provider, model, and account terms.

For browser-based encryption, open Protect PDF. To permanently remove sensitive information, review the limitations of Redact PDF and inspect the exported file before sharing.

Protect your documents

Use local tools for sensitive files, keep your browser up to date, make a backup before editing, and review output before sharing. Learn more in the BoltPDF Privacy Policy or follow the PDF workflow guide.
