Your files never leave your device

The PDF editor that
keeps your files
off the cloud

Most PDF tools upload your documents to remote servers. PageLab runs entirely in your browser. Edit, annotate, merge, sign. Nothing gets transmitted. Ever.

Open the Editor

Privacy is architecture, not a promise

Other PDF editors promise to delete your files after processing. PageLab never has them in the first place. Every operation, from rendering to editing to export, happens inside your browser using WebAssembly and client-side JavaScript. Zero server roundtrips.

Your documents are yours. Full stop.

PageLab exists because the way we handle sensitive documents online is broken. We're building the PDF editor that should have existed from the start: powerful, private, and fast.
