PDF Tools That Respect Student Privacy
JustPDF processes files entirely in the browser. No uploads, no accounts, no data collection. FERPA-friendly by architecture — not just by policy.
Zero Data Collection
Files never leave the student's device. No server uploads, no cloud storage, no tracking.
No Accounts Required
Students use tools immediately — no email, no sign-up, no personal information collected.
Works on Any Device
Runs in any modern browser — Chromebooks, school laptops, tablets, and personal devices.
FERPA Compliance by Design
FERPA requires schools to protect student education records from unauthorized disclosure. Most online PDF tools create compliance risk by uploading student files to third-party servers.
JustPDF eliminates this risk entirely. Files are processed using JavaScript and WebAssembly directly in the browser. No data leaves the device, so there is no third-party data sharing to evaluate, no data processing agreements to negotiate, and no vendor risk assessment required.
How Schools Use JustPDF
Students merging assignment pages
Combine scanned homework, lab reports, or portfolio pages into a single PDF for submission using the Merge tool.
Teachers compressing files for LMS upload
Reduce file sizes to meet Canvas, Blackboard, or Google Classroom limits with the Compress tool or Compress to 1MB.
Administrators signing documents privately
Add e-signatures to permission slips, contracts, or forms without exposing them to third-party servers using Sign PDF.
Libraries offering private document tools
Provide patron-safe PDF tools on public computers — no login required, no data retained. Tools include PDF to Word, Split PDF, and OCR scanning.
Converting iPhone photos for submissions
Students can convert phone photos to PDF using JPG to PDF or HEIC to PDF without installing any apps.
Verify It Yourself
You don't have to take our word for it. Open your browser's Developer Tools (F12), click the Network tab, and use any JustPDF tool. You will see zero file upload requests. The only network activity is loading the page itself.
This is verifiable proof that files never leave the device — something no server-based PDF tool can demonstrate.
