PDF tools designed for simplicity and privacy
Most “free” PDF tool websites upload your documents to their servers to process them: contracts, ID cards, bank statements… They then limit the number of files or their size to push you towards a subscription. Papetal works differently.
Every tool is a program that runs right in your browser. Your files never leave your computer or phone: it’s faster, and far safer for sensitive documents.
Papetal also goes beyond basic conversions: letter templates to fill in, captioned photo reports, watermarks to protect copies of ID documents, and redaction that truly erases information. Your recent files stay at hand in your local history.
