Is it private?

Yes. The file and the password are processed entirely on your device with WebAssembly (qpdf). Nothing is uploaded — ideal for confidential documents.

Is it private?

Yes. Everything runs inside your web browser, using your own device. Nothing is uploaded to any server, so your documents stay completely private. How does this work without uploading?

Are the file and password uploaded?
