About PDFresh

Last updated July 25, 2026.

PDFresh helps inspect, clean, and verify PDFs before sharing. The current site centers on PDFresh X-Ray for visual page review, with utilities for merging PDFs, extracting selected pages, and reading existing PDF text.

For supported workflows, PDFresh processes selected PDFs in the browser and does not upload PDF contents to PDFresh. That approach is useful for documents that should not be sent to a generic upload service, while still requiring you to trust the page code, your browser, and your device.

PDFresh does not provide OCR, redaction, signature collection, legal review, document repair, compression, or guaranteed compatibility with every PDF. Very large, encrypted, damaged, or unusual PDFs may fail in the browser.

The main browser-side PDF libraries are PDF.js 3.11.174 and pdf-lib 1.17.1, served from PDFresh vendor paths. See Third Party Notices for license details.

PDFresh is operated as the PDFresh site and brand. No individual operator name is published on this page. For corrections, privacy questions, or tool feedback, contact contact@pdfresh.com.

Recent updates: PDFresh X-Ray became the primary workflow on July 25, 2026. On July 20, 2026, PDF libraries were moved to same-origin vendor files, privacy wording was tightened, old language URLs were redirected, and the current guides were expanded.
