PDFShift VS MyFreeTools

MyFreeTools's answer:

The files never leave your device. Every tool runs in the browser, so a contract, an ID scan or a family video is processed on your own computer or phone, not on a server. You don't have to take that on trust: under each result the page shows the network requests made while it worked, and a short guide explains how to check it yourself in the browser's Network tab.

MyFreeTools's answer:

Choose it when the file is something you would not hand to a stranger: an ID, a medical letter, a contract, a private photo. Nothing is uploaded, there is no account and no cookies, and the result is never larger than the original. The tools also chain: the output of one can go straight into the next without downloading it first. It works in English, Romanian, Spanish and Portuguese, and it can be installed as an app that keeps working offline once a tool has been opened.

MyFreeTools's answer:

Anyone who has to fix a file quickly and would rather not upload it: people sending documents to an office, a school or a bank (shrink a PDF under a size limit, merge scans, sign a form), students and teachers, small businesses, and people who receive official letters in a language they don't read well and want to understand them on their phone.

MyFreeTools's answer:

Most online file tools start by asking you to upload the file, and the files people need to fix are often the ones they should not upload: IDs, contracts, medical letters. MyFreeTools started in late 2026 from the idea that a browser can now do this work on the device itself. The first tools were for images and PDFs; video, audio, scanning, a PDF editor and on-device document translation followed. Each tool is tested with real files and with a check that no request carries data from the file.

MyFreeTools's answer:

The site is a static Next.js and TypeScript app. The work itself is done by WebAssembly engines running in Web Workers in the browser: MozJPEG, WebP, AVIF and OxiPNG codecs for images, pdf.js, pdf-lib and qpdf plus our own compression engine for PDFs, WebCodecs for video and audio, Tesseract for reading text from pictures, and the Bergamot translation engine with Mozilla's language models for translating documents on the device.

MyFreeTools's answer:

MyFreeTools is a free public tool for individuals rather than a product sold to companies, so there is no customer list to name. The files people work on stay on their devices and the site keeps no accounts, so we don't know who uses it, by design.
