    About image2pdf.ink

    By Naman Kaushik

    image2pdf.ink is a free, private, browser-based PDF toolkit. Every tool runs entirely on your device — no file uploads, no accounts, no subscriptions.

    Our Mission

    image2pdf.ink was created to give everyone access to professional PDF tools without sacrificing privacy or paying a subscription fee. Essential document workflows — converting, merging, splitting, compressing, signing, and protecting PDFs — should be accessible to students, freelancers, and businesses of every size.

    Unlike most online tools that upload your files to remote servers, image2pdf.ink processes everything inside your web browser using modern JavaScript APIs. Your documents never leave your device, which means sensitive files like contracts, tax forms, and medical records stay completely private.

    Why We Built This Tool

    In today's digital world, converting images to PDFs is a daily task for millions of students, professionals, and small businesses. However, most existing solutions require uploading sensitive documents to unknown servers, pose security risks, or charge expensive subscription fees — sometimes more than $100/year for basic features.

    We noticed this gap and decided to build a better alternative. Our approach processes everything locally in your browser using advanced JavaScript technology, meaning your files never leave your device. This provides:

    • Complete Privacy: No file uploads, no server storage, no data collection
    • Lightning Fast: No waiting for uploads or downloads from servers
    • 100% Free: All features available without limitations or subscriptions
    • Works Offline: Process documents even without an internet connection
    • No Account Needed: Open any tool and start working immediately

    Our Technology

    image2pdf.ink is built using modern web technologies including React, TypeScript, and the jsPDF library for PDF generation. OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is powered by Tesseract.js, which supports over 100 languages and runs entirely in the browser using WebAssembly.

    PDF merging, splitting, compression, and manipulation use pdf-lib, a pure JavaScript library with no server-side dependencies. Annotations and e-signatures are rendered using the HTML5 Canvas API directly in your browser. All processing uses Web Workers so the main thread stays responsive even during heavy operations.

    The application is hosted on Cloudflare Pages, which provides fast global content delivery. All static assets are served over HTTPS with modern security headers.

    Privacy & Security

    Privacy is the foundation of image2pdf.ink. We do not operate any file upload endpoints. There are no analytics scripts tracking individual file operations. The application loads once from our CDN and then runs locally — you can even disconnect from the internet and continue working.

    We collect only anonymous, aggregated usage statistics (page views) through privacy-respecting analytics. We never sell data, never store file contents, and never associate your documents with any account or identity. For full details, see our Privacy Policy.
