A few good questions.

Do you upload my files?

No. Processing happens on your device. The site loads its own code and assets, but does not send your selected documents to an application server.

Can I use WaterPDF on my phone?

Yes. Use a current browser on a phone, tablet or computer. File size and available memory affect what your device can process.

Are all tools free?

Every tool in this release is free and does not require an account.

How large can my PDF be?

Choose PDFs up to 100 MB each, with 200 MB total for a merge selection. Device memory can impose lower limits. Rendering and text extraction have separate page limits, shown in each tool.

What does compression change?

Standard compression preserves text and artwork. Optional stronger image compression rebuilds pages as pictures and removes text search, forms and links. The app explains this before you choose it.

Does WaterPDF offer secure redaction or password protection?

No. Cropping and visible overlays do not securely remove information. Password encryption, secure redaction and OCR are not included.

Can I convert PDF to Word?

Yes. Convert selectable PDF text to an editable DOCX, or keep pages as pictures. Word to PDF creates a simplified, reflowed layout from DOCX. Scanned text needs OCR, and complex layouts will differ. Each converter explains its limits.
