Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions? We've got answers. Here are some of the most common things people ask about AryaPDF.

Are my files safe and private?

This source build has no PDF processing upload service, and supported PDF operations run in the browser. Markdown image URLs and OCR worker/language assets can still cause external requests. Review the privacy page if you need a workflow without those requests.

Is AryaPDF really free? What's the catch?

This source build has no sign-in, payment, or subscription flow. This describes the supplied application and does not make a promise about future deployments or pricing.

Do I need an internet connection to use the tools?

The application shell can be cached for offline reopening after it has been loaded from a supported web host. Offline operation of every tool has not yet been verified. OCR language resources are not bundled in this version, and Markdown conversion may request remote images.

Are there any file size or usage limitations?

There is no server-side file quota in this source build. Practical limits depend on each tool, the selected file format, and available browser memory. Very large files may be slow or fail.

Why did my PDF fail to process?

Failures are rare but can happen for a few reasons:

  • The PDF might be corrupted or not compliant with standard specifications.
  • The file could be encrypted with a password you don't have. Please use our Decrypt tool first.
  • The file might be a special "XFA" or dynamic form-based PDF, which some of our tools cannot process.

Do you track my activity on AryaPDF?

AryaPDF does not include analytics or tracking. PDF processing happens locally in your browser.

What technology does AryaPDF use?

AryaPDF uses browser technologies and libraries including pdf-lib, PDF.js, PDFKit, and Tesseract.js. The source application does not include a PDF processing server. Optional remote resources may still be requested by some workflows.

Still have questions?

This source build does not include a public AryaPDF support address. Production contact information has not been configured.
