How browser-based PDF processing works โPDF to Word โ questions
- No. Every operation runs in your browser using JavaScript. Your file is loaded into your browser's memory, processed, and a result is saved to your device. Nothing is sent over the network.
- No. Because the processing happens in your browser, neither PDF Lab nor any third party has access to the file contents. You can verify this by opening your browser's network tab while using the tools โ no file data is transmitted.
- There is no enforced limit, but performance depends on your device's memory. Most modern browsers comfortably handle PDFs up to about 100 MB. Very large files may slow down your browser tab.
