Why does this happen?
Some tools download once so they work without internet next time. Nothing is uploaded — your files stay in your browser.
OCR PDF runs entirely in your browser, so your PDF files never leave your device. Choose a PDF, make your changes, and save the result instantly — fast, free, and completely private.

Frequently asked questions
Which languages does the OCR support?
The OCR engine supports English text recognition out of the box. Additional language models can be loaded on demand for other scripts.
Do I need to install anything to use these PDF tools?
No installation required. Every PDF tool is browser-native and runs on modern browsers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari) without plugins, extensions, or desktop apps.
Does this upload my file?
No. Your file stays on your device the whole time. LoveMyFile runs entirely in your browser, so nothing is uploaded to a server, queued in the cloud, or copied off your computer.
Is this free?
Yes. Every tool is free and unlimited — no account, no paywall, and no daily caps. Because the work happens locally in your browser, there are no per-file or per-page charges.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Once the page has loaded, the tools run entirely in your browser, so you can disconnect from the internet and keep working. AI-powered tools download a small model on first use and then also run offline.
