About CedarPDF
CedarPDF is inspired by the cedar tree, a symbol of resilience and beauty in British Columbia, Canada. Our mission is to redefine the PDF user experience by providing a truly free suite of tools.
Unlike commercial tools that lock features behind paywalls, we believe PDF tools should be accessible to everyone. This is a non-profit project developed by a Canadian team. Current development and operating costs are kept to a minimum and are entirely covered by donations.
Our platform is designed for seamless compatibility with PCs (Windows/Mac), tablets, and mobile devices (iOS/Android), enabling everyone to work with PDF files freely, easily, quickly, and conveniently.
Our Mission: Privacy & Sustainability
The power of the PDF format lies in its universality. By choosing CedarPDF, you're supporting a more sustainable way of handling documents.
Reducing reliance on cloud servers and long-distance network transmission means lower energy consumption. Promoting paperless workflows directly contributes to forest conservation, including Canada's vast cedar forests.
We believe that protecting your digital privacy and safeguarding our shared natural environment are two sides of the same mission.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about how CedarPDF works and why it's free.
CedarPDF runs the processing engine directly within your browser. When you use CedarPDF, every operation—merging, splitting, compressing, or converting—happens instantly in your computer's memory.
Your PDF files are never uploaded to any remote server. Once the process is complete and you have your result, all data is cleared from memory. This means no one but you ever has access to your documents.
Additionally, CedarPDF's core PDF processing modules utilize open-source PDF libraries, which are maintained by a global community, ensuring complete transparency, security, and constant updates.
This is a non-profit project. All team members work voluntarily because we believe in the mission of providing free, private tools to everyone.
Current development and operating costs are kept to a minimum and are entirely covered by donations. We don't have investors to please or shareholders to pay, which allows us to keep everything free forever.
We hope you enjoy this free PDF tool and consider supporting our mission if you find it useful!
