How it works

Your files never leave your browser.

Unfleece runs every PDF operation locally via WebAssembly. There is no server that receives, stores, or processes your documents — which is exactly why it can be free.

Don't trust us — verify it

Prove it's private in 10 seconds.

Don't take our word for it. Watch the network while you work — the only requests are for the app's own code, which your browser caches. The source is open, so you can read exactly what it does.

1

Open any tool and press F12 → Network tab.

2

Run it on a file. Watch the request list.

3

See nothing upload. Turn off Wi-Fi — it still works.

Why it's free

No server, no bill, no paywall

Because all the work happens on your computer, Unfleece has no compute or bandwidth bill — so there's nothing to monetize with a trial trap. The fleeceware sites charge you for something your own device can already do.

Honest about limits

What it can and can't do

What works great

  • Merge, split, rotate, organize, crop
  • Images ↔ PDF, PDF → images / text
  • Watermark, page numbers, metadata, sign
  • Lossless optimize & compress

Honest caveats

  • Very large files are bound by your device memory
  • PDF→Text is selectable text only (scans need OCR)
  • Compress rasterizes — text becomes non-selectable
  • We label every tool for what it actually does
