A thoughtful take on AI in document tools — and how PDF Smile keeps your files private.
Artificial intelligence is changing how we work with documents. But not all AI is a good fit for privacy or speed. At PDF Smile, we believe the most valuable AI is the kind you barely notice: smart defaults that save clicks, instant results that run in your browser, and workflows that respect your data.
Our philosophy is simple: move fast without moving your files. By keeping processing local, you avoid upload delays and protect sensitive content. Refresh the page and your session is gone. That is the kind of AI people trust: invisible, respectful, and helpful.
Some tasks, like deep OCR or content extraction from huge scans, may require server power. When we introduce features like that, we will do it transparently and ethically: opt-in, clear data handling, and deletion controls. Until then, we are focused on the instant wins you need every day.
Do you upload my files for AI processing? No — our core tools run locally in your browser; nothing uploads or is stored.
Will you add OCR or summaries? We are exploring options that keep privacy in the driver seat.
The best document tools help you finish work you are proud of — and then get out of your way. That is the path we are building at PDF Smile: private, fast, and thoughtfully smart.
