Run the same PDF steps on many files, on your device
Do the same job on many PDFs in one go, right in your browser. The files stay on your device, and a workflow keeps working offline once its tools have been used.
This tool needs the internet once to download its engine. After that it works offline.

What happens to your file
Every file goes through every step inside this browser tab, one file at a time. Your files are never uploaded; only the workflows you save are kept, in this browser.
How UnplugPDF works without uploadingFrequently asked questions
What can a workflow do?
Any chain of these steps: merge, rotate, trim margins, compress, OCR, page numbers, watermark, and at the end protect with a password or convert to text or images. Each step works exactly like the tool of the same name.
Where are my saved workflows kept?
In this browser, on this device: only the steps and their settings, never your files or passwords. Export a workflow to keep a copy or to share it; the file holds the same steps and nothing else.
How many files can I run it on?
As many as your device can handle. The files are processed one at a time, so even a long list does not need much memory, and you can cancel at any point.
Why is it part of Pro?
Every single tool stays free. Workflows are for people who do the same job over and over; Pro is how we keep UnplugPDF free of uploads and running.
Are my files uploaded to be processed?
No. Every step runs in your browser, on your device, just like the tools themselves.
Do workflows work offline?
Yes, once each step's tool has been used while online. Their engines are saved then, and later runs work without internet.
