When you select a document, the browser reads and transforms it on your device. The application does not upload the file to a BQ server. Account required No Application file upload No External PDF API No Supported devices Modern desktop and mobile browsers ## Install once and keep working offline Supported browsers can install BQ PDF Tools as a standalone app. After the static tool files finish caching, the complete tool suite remains available without a network connection. Selected PDFs and images are never added to the offline application cache. ### Install Use the install arrow when it appears in the header, or choose Install app from the browser menu. ### Work offline Open the installed app or a previously cached tool page and process files directly on the device. ### Update safely When a new version is ready, the footer offers an explicit update action instead of interrupting active work. ## Choose the right PDF workflow ### Organize Merge, split, extract, delete, rotate, reorder, or remove blank pages. ### Edit Add margins, borders, Bates numbers, overlays, watermarks, headers, booklets, or scale page content. ### Convert and optimize Turn images into PDFs, render PDF pages as images, or compress image-heavy documents. ## Private by design Selected files are processed by code running in this browser. The site does not send them to an application server. ## Need another action? Use the full tools directory to find conversion, editing, organization, and inspection utilities.
