No — never. Every LyfPDF tool processes your document with JavaScript inside your own browser. The file goes from your storage to your browser's memory and back to your Downloads folder, without ever crossing the internet.
Yes. Because there is no upload step, contracts, bank statements, medical records and ID proofs stay solely on your device — the same privacy as never opening a website at all.
No. We never receive your files, so we cannot view, store or recover them. If you need a result again, check your Downloads folder or re-run the tool.
It disappears from your browser's memory. Nothing persists anywhere except the copies you downloaded yourself.
Open-source engines (Mozilla PDF.js, pdf-lib, Tesseract.js) are fetched from public CDNs as code only — your files are never sent to them.
Yes — all 17 tools, free, with no page limits, no daily caps and no watermarks added. Light, consent-based ads keep the service running.
No. No tool ever asks for a login, sign-up, email or phone number.
No artificial limit. Your device's memory is the only practical bound — 100 MB+ PDFs and 500-page documents work fine on typical hardware.
No. Merge fifty files, compress twenty documents — nothing is counted or capped.
Never. Your downloads are completely clean.
Open the editor, use Erase to cover old text, then the Text tool to type replacements — in any language and size. For full rewriting, convert to Word, edit there, and convert back.
In the editor, pick Sign, then type your name or draw it, click Use signature and tap the spot on the page. Download flattens it permanently.
Open Merge PDF, add files, set the order with the arrows and click Merge & download.
Open Compress PDF, pick a preset (Strong for the smallest file) and download — the exact size saved is shown, e.g. 18 MB → 2 MB.
Open JPG to PDF (PNG works too), add the photos in order, pick A4 or fit-to-image, and download one combined PDF.
Use OCR: drop the scan or photo, choose its language (14+ supported, including Hindi and Arabic) and extract — then edit, copy or download the text.
Yes — Delete Pages shows every page as a thumbnail; tap ✕ on the unwanted one and save.
Your browser's built-in PDF engine produces the highest-quality output; choosing “Save as PDF” there completes the conversion — still with zero upload.
Your PDF is a scan — an image of text with no text layer. Run it through OCR first.
Scanners often save pages without rotation flags. The Rotate tool writes the correct orientation into the file so it opens upright everywhere.
Compression rebuilds pages as optimized images — that's what makes files dramatically smaller. Keep your original for editing.
Yes, briefly: your own device does the computing. A 100 MB scan may take extra seconds, but nothing is being uploaded.
Allow pop-ups for lyfpdf.com in your browser and click the button again.
Remove the password in your PDF reader first, then run the tool on the unlocked copy.
Seven: English, Hindi, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Arabic and German — switch with the language menu in the header.
14+, including English, Hindi, Arabic, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Bengali, Tamil and Urdu — plus combined English+Hindi.
Yes — every tool, including the full editor with signatures, is touch-friendly on Android and iPhone browsers, with no app to install.
Once a tool page has loaded, the processing itself runs locally — a dropped connection won't interrupt the job.
“Lyf” as in life — free-for-life PDF tools. You'll also see it written Lyf PDF, LifePDF or لیف PDF; all reach the same site.
