    Frequently asked questions

    What AI PDF tools are available for free?

    ExactPDF offers free AI-powered OCR (text extraction from scans), smart redaction (auto-detect names, emails, phone numbers), auto-rename (name files by content), AI chat, and AI summarizer.

    Does the AI redaction actually remove data permanently?

    Yes. ExactPDF's smart redaction permanently removes the underlying text and data from the PDF — not just a black box overlay. The redacted content is irrecoverable.

    Does the AI run on a server?

    No. All AI models run locally in your browser using WebAssembly. Your documents and their contents never leave your device.
