Privacy policy

Last updated: 8 November 2026.

In short

QuickCatPDF is a free website with no accounts and no sign-up. We don't ask for your name, email or any other personal details, and we earn money only from the ads shown on the pages.

Files you convert

Browser tools (all image to PDF, PDF to image, PDF to Word, PDF to Excel and PDF editing tools): your files are processed on your own device, inside your browser. They are never sent to us or to anyone else.

Server tools (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher, OpenOffice, iWork and RTF to PDF, eBook, comic and DjVu to PDF, and Download PDF on the text, Markdown, CSV and HTML tools): files are sent over an encrypted HTTPS connection and converted on our own server. The original is deleted when the conversion ends, the PDF right after your browser downloads it, and anything left over within 1 hour. We don't open, read, share or sell them, and we don't use them to train any software. Webpage to PDF sends the addresses you type to our server, which loads those public pages; the addresses aren't logged or kept after the conversion. Each tool page says clearly which kind of tool it is, and How we handle your files lists them all.

Data we collect

We don't use analytics or tracking of our own. The only data our servers keep is their logs: IP addresses, kept for 14 days for security and to prevent abuse. Logs never include file names or file contents.

Cookies and advertising

We use Google AdSense to show ads. Google and its partners use cookies to show ads based on your visits to this and other websites. You can turn off personalised ads in Google's Ads Settings. See our cookie policy for the full list.

Visitors in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland see a consent banner before any advertising cookies are set.

Your rights

We don't keep accounts, profiles or files, so there is no personal data to request, correct or delete beyond the short-lived server logs above, which are deleted automatically. Data collected by Google for advertising is managed by Google: you can see, delete or limit it in your Google account and Ads Settings, and change your cookie choice at any time with the consent banner's settings link.

Children

QuickCatPDF is not aimed at children under 13 (16 in the EU).
