Frequently asked questions
Privacy, limits, formats and the honest answer about what a browser can and cannot do.
Privacy and files
Are my files uploaded to MapMyPDF?
No. The tools read the file from your device and write the result back to your device. There is no upload step, so there is no server-side copy to delete. This applies to every tool on the site.
What data do you collect?
Page views and tool events: the URL you visited, which tool you used, an approximate country from the connection, device type and referring website. We do not record file names, file contents or document sizes. See the privacy policy for details.
Do you use cookies?
One small first-party cookie (or local storage entry) remembers an anonymous visitor ID so repeat visits are counted once. There are no advertising cookies, no cross-site trackers and no fingerprinting.
Can I use this for confidential or client documents?
Yes — that is the point. Because processing happens on your device, client contracts, payslips, medical letters and ID scans do not travel over the internet. Check that your employer's device policy allows browser tools, as always.
Limits and formats
Is there a file size or page limit?
No limit from us. The practical ceiling is your device's memory. A typical laptop handles documents of several hundred pages and images up to roughly 50 megapixels without trouble.
Why won't my password-protected PDF open?
Encrypted PDFs cannot be read without the password. Open the file in a PDF reader, remove the protection, save a copy, then use that copy here.
Which browsers are supported?
Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari and Samsung Internet on desktop and mobile. Internet Explorer is not supported.
Does it work offline?
Once a tool page has loaded, the processing itself does not need a connection. If you reload without internet, the page will not load again unless it is cached.
Pages, images and output quality
Does rotating or deleting pages reduce quality?
No. Both operations only change how the pages are arranged or displayed. The text and images inside each page are copied across untouched.
What resolution should I export from PDF to JPG?
96 DPI is right for email, chat and websites. 150 DPI is better for anything people may zoom into, and 220 DPI suits high-density screens and print previews. Higher DPI means larger image files.
Can I work on a scanned PDF?
Yes. Rotating, deleting, splitting and converting pages to JPG all work on scans. Reading text out of a scan needs OCR, which we do not offer — so a scanned document will not produce editable text or a reliable table.
Using the site
Do I need an account?
No. There is no signup, no email capture and no paywall. Every tool is fully available on first visit.
Is there a watermark?
No. Output files contain only your content, plus standard PDF metadata identifying the producer.
Can I use the tools commercially?
Yes. Use them at work, for clients and inside your business. See the terms for the formal wording.
How do I report a bug or request a tool?
Use the contact page. Include your browser and what you expected to happen. Do not attach the document itself — a description of the layout is enough.
