Edit confidential PDFs without sending them anywhere
Contracts, medical records, HR files and financial statements should not sit on someone else's server, even for an hour. Docmint works on them inside your browser and never receives a copy.
Where your file goes
Most online PDF tools
- 1. Your file is uploaded to the provider's servers.
- 2. It is processed on their servers.
- 3. You download the result; the provider deletes the file later, by its own policy.
Docmint
- 1. Your browser reads the file from your device.
- 2. It is processed on your device, by code running in the page.
- 3. You save the result. No copy ever reached us, so there is nothing to delete.
Check it yourself: open your browser's developer tools, go to the Network tab and run any tool. No request carries your file to a server.
When it matters
Contracts and legal documents
Sign, merge exhibits, remove pages or add a password before you send. The draft never leaves your device.
Medical and health records
Combine results, compress scans for a portal or extract the pages a clinic asked for, without handing the file to a third party.
HR and payroll
Split payslips, redact by removing pages, or protect a file with a password before sharing it with one person.
Finance and tax
Merge statements for a mortgage application or compress tax forms for an upload portal, locally.
Before you share
Strip hidden metadata such as the author and editing software with Edit Metadata, then add a password with Protect PDF.
A note on compliance
Because Docmint never receives your file, it does not store or process it. Your organisation's own rules still decide which tools you may use.
Tools that never upload your file
Every Docmint tool works this way; these are the ones people use most for this. See all Docmint tools.
Questions
Is it safe to use an online PDF tool for confidential documents?
It depends where the file goes. Upload-based tools send it to their servers and delete it later by their own policy. Docmint processes it in your browser, so no copy is ever sent.
Can my employer or IT team verify this?
Yes. With the browser's developer tools open on the Network tab, they can run any tool and see that no request carries the file.
Do you keep logs of my documents?
We never receive the document, so there is nothing to log. We count runs per day for the free allowance, without file names or contents.
Can I password-protect the result?
Yes. Protect PDF adds AES-256 encryption in your browser before you share the file.
