Privacy Policy

How GoPDFTools.io handles your data, files and browsing information.

Last updated: November 18, 2025

At GoPDFTools.io (“GoPDFTools”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), we care about your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what choices you have.

1. About GoPDFTools

GoPDFTools.io provides free, browser-based tools for working with PDF files (such as converting images to PDF, merging PDFs, splitting PDFs, and compressing PDFs).

A key design principle of our tools is that PDF processing is done locally in your browser using JavaScript. For most tools, your files are not uploaded to our servers.

2. Information we do not see from your files

When you use tools like Images to PDF, Merge PDF, Split PDF or Compress PDF:

  • Your files are handled directly in your browser using client-side libraries.
  • We do not read the contents of your PDF files or images.
  • We do not store, log or back up your documents on our servers.

Note: If you are using our tools through a third-party integration or hosting provider, please refer to their privacy policies as well.

3. Information we may collect

While we do not deliberately access your file contents, we may collect limited information that is typical for websites:

  • Basic usage data such as pages visited, timestamps, and approximate location (country/region).
  • Technical data such as browser type, operating system and screen size.
  • Cookies and similar technologies used by analytics and advertising services.

4. Cookies and similar technologies

We may use cookies and similar technologies to:

  • Remember basic preferences (e.g., dark/light mode or last used settings).
  • Understand anonymous usage patterns to improve our tools.
  • Serve and measure advertising (Google AdSense or similar networks).

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect how some parts of the site function.

5. Advertising (Google AdSense)

GoPDFTools.io may display ads provided by Google AdSense or other ad networks. These networks may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to:

  • Show you more relevant ads based on your visits to this and other websites.
  • Measure ad performance and prevent fraud.

Google’s use of advertising cookies is governed by its own policies. You can learn more and manage your preferences using Google’s Ad Settings.

6. Analytics

We may use privacy-friendly analytics tools to understand how people use our site (for example, which tools are used most). This helps us improve GoPDFTools. Analytics data is generally aggregated and does not identify you personally.

7. When you contact us

If you send us a message through our contact form or by email, we will receive the information you choose to share (such as your name, email address and message). We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry and improve our service.

8. Third-party links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any website you visit.

9. Children’s privacy

GoPDFTools is intended for general audiences and not specifically for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.

10. Data security

We aim to use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect our website and any data we handle. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services or legal requirements. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page indicates when it was last revised. Significant changes may be highlighted on the website.
