Private by design. Your files stay on this device and are never uploaded.

Questions
Private Recipes FAQs
Does a recipe upload my PDFs?
No. The chain runs in the same-origin worker already used by Merge, Edit, Sanitize, Flatten, and Protect.
What is saved if I opt in?
Step types and non-secret options in localStorage. Not PDFs, filenames, extracted text, or passwords.
Why are split and redact missing?
Those tools produce ZIP archives, images, or page-region selections that do not chain as a single PDF buffer. Use their dedicated workspaces.
