Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. PDFixo utilizes a unique client-side in-memory architecture. Your documents are processed entirely inside your web browser sandbox using WebAssembly and Web Workers. Your files are never uploaded to, saved on, or viewed by our servers.

Do I need to install software or register an account?

No installation, extension, or account registration is needed. You can use this utility directly on any device including Windows, Mac, iPhone, and Android completely free.

Will formatting or quality be degraded?

No. Vector geometries, embedded fonts, layers, and color profiles are strictly maintained to ensure professional fidelity and compliance.
