2 min read

When working with sensitive documents—contracts, medical records, financial statements—privacy isn't optional. Rune's Split PDF processes everything locally in your browser, ensuring your confidential files never leave your device.

The Privacy Problem with Online PDF Tools

Traditional Online Tools

Most online PDF tools work like this:

  1. You upload your file to their server.
  2. They process it on their server.
  3. You download the result.
  4. Your file sits on their server (who knows for how long?).

Privacy Risks

  • Your sensitive documents are copied to third-party servers.
  • You don't control what happens to the data.
  • Potential for data breaches or unauthorized access.
  • May violate data protection regulations (GDPR, HIPAA, etc.).

How Rune's Split PDF is Different
