About Quicky PDF
Everything happens in your browser
When you drop a PDF onto one of these tools, it is read by JavaScript running in the page — the same way a web app reads a photo you attach. The bytes go into memory in your own tab, get rearranged there, and come back out as a download. There is no upload step at all.
You can check this yourself: open your browser’s network tab while you use a tool, or disconnect from the internet once the page has loaded. They keep working.
Six tools are the exception, and it is worth naming them rather than hiding behind an average: Word, Excel and PowerPoint conversions in both directions need a real office engine, which cannot run in a browser at all. Those send your file to a converter we run, which deletes its copy the moment the result is returned and never writes the contents to a log. Each of those pages says so above the file picker, before you choose anything.
What that means in practice
The upside is privacy: for every tool but those six, a contract, a payslip or a medical form never leaves your device, so there is no retention policy to read and no server logs to trust.
The trade-off is that your device does the work. A very large document takes longer on a phone than on a laptop, and a few-hundred-page file needs enough memory to hold it. That is the honest cost of not having a server.
What is deliberately missing
There is no OCR, no Word or Excel conversion, no password removal, no true redaction and nothing AI-backed. Those genuinely need a server, and adding one would break the promise the rest of the site is built on. Shipping a button that quietly uploads your file would be worse than not having the feature.
Signatures
The signing tool places a picture of your signature onto the page. It is a visual mark, not a certified or legally binding digital signature — it carries no cryptographic proof and asserts nothing about who signed. If you need a legally recognised electronic signature, use a service built for that.
