Security is a major concern when uploading sensitive contracts. We explain client-side processing and why it's the safest option.

Is It Safe to Edit Documents Online? The Truth About Cloud Tools

The Cloud Security Myth

Many businesses forbid employees from "uploading" contracts to free online tools. And they should. Traditional online tools upload your file to a remote server, process it, and send it back. This creates a risk of data interception or retention.

The Client-Side Revolution

Modern tools (like ours) work differently. We use WebAssembly.

How It Works

  1. You visit our website.
  2. Your browser downloads our "engine" (a small script).
  3. Your file never leaves your computer. The engine runs inside your browser to edit the PDF.

How to Verify

You can verify this yourself:

  1. Open the PDF Editor.
  2. Turn off your WiFi (go offline).
  3. Upload and edit your document.
  4. IT WORKS!

This proves that no data is being sent to our servers. Your privacy is mathematically guaranteed by the architecture itself.
