Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to edit sensitive documents here?

Absolutely. LocalPDF uses WebAssembly to process your documents entirely in your browser's RAM. Your files are never uploaded to any server, making it the most secure way to redact or edit sensitive information.

Does the edited text match the original font?

Our smart editor attempts to detect the original font style. While we support standard PDF fonts (Helvetica, Roboto, etc.), some custom embedded fonts may be replaced with high-quality alternatives while maintained alignment.

Can I redact or black out text?

Yes. You can use the editor to completely cover or remove sensitive data. Since the processing is done locally, you can be sure no 'hidden' data or metadata is accidentally uploaded.

Technical Architecture: How it Works

Client-Side Rendering

We use PDF.js and custom canvas rendering to accurately display and interact with PDF layers without any server-side involvement.

Smart Text Injection

Our engine analyzes the PDF's content streams to calculate precise positioning and kerning for replacement text, ensuring a professional look.

WebWorker Security

The editing engine runs in a dedicated Web Worker thread, which is destroyed upon completion, purging all transient data from your device's memory.
