Privacy & Data Policy

Your documents are yours alone. This tool is built with Privacy-First architecture. All processing happens locally in your browser. We do not upload, store, or view your PDF content. It stays in your computer’s RAM and disappears once you close the tab.

Disclaimer: If a font is “subsetted” or converted to paths (shapes), it may appear with a strange prefix (e.g., ABCDE+FontName) or may not be detectable as a font object.
Pro Tip: Once you find the font name, you can usually search for it on sites like Google Fonts or Adobe Fonts to download or license it.
