Processing on your device: what it is and what it is for
What it means that a file is not uploaded to any server and why it matters.
Many online PDF tools work like this: you upload the file to a server, it is processed there and you download the result. That means your document passes, even briefly, through a machine you do not control.
Processing on your device means all the work happens on your phone or computer. The file does not leave it, there are no waiting queues and it works with a poor connection.
It is especially important with contracts, payslips, identity documents or medical information. Rayo PDF GO is designed this way: your files are not uploaded to our servers.
