자주 묻는 질문 (FAQ)

Q: What is iCreatePDF and how does it work?

iCreatePDF is an open-source, client-side PDF document manipulation suite featuring 67+ tools. Unlike traditional cloud PDF websites that upload your files to remote servers, iCreatePDF executes all document processing entirely within your browser using high-performance WebAssembly (Wasm) and JavaScript engines. Your documents never leave your computer or phone.

Q: Is iCreatePDF completely free? Are there any hidden fees or watermarks?

Yes, iCreatePDF is 100% free with absolutely no hidden fees, subscriptions, or paywalls. Furthermore, we never stamp unwanted watermarks, logos, or advertising onto your exported documents. You enjoy unlimited operations with full fidelity.

Q: Do I need to create an account, register, or download any software?

No registration, email sign-up, or account creation is required. You do not need to install any external desktop programs or browser extensions. Simply open any tool on the website and begin processing your documents instantly.

Q: How does iCreatePDF compare to services like Smallpdf, Adobe Acrobat, or iLovePDF?

Traditional tools like Smallpdf or iLovePDF require uploading your private files over the internet to centralized cloud servers, which introduces privacy liabilities, bandwidth latency, and strict upload file size caps. iCreatePDF processes your files on your device hardware via WebAssembly. It is faster (no waiting for uploads or downloads), completely private, Offline-capable, and has no daily file limits.

Q: Is iCreatePDF open-source software?

Yes! iCreatePDF is licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 (AGPL-3.0). The complete source code is transparent, auditable, and freely available on GitHub. You can inspect how your documents are processed or host your own private instance.

Q: Are my PDF files or confidential documents ever uploaded to your servers?

Never. iCreatePDF has a zero-upload architecture. When you select or drag-and-drop a file, your browser reads the binary data straight into your local device memory using Web APIs. No network packets containing your document contents are ever transmitted to our servers or any third-party clouds.

Q: Is iCreatePDF safe for confidential legal, financial, and medical documents (GDPR & HIPAA)?

Yes. Because your files never traverse the network or leave your local machine, iCreatePDF eliminates third-party data processor exposure. This makes it inherently compliant with data privacy frameworks such as GDPR, HIPAA, FERPA, and CCPA, as no personal data is transferred or retained by an external entity.

Q: What happens to my documents after I close the browser tab?

Once you close the browser tab, refresh the page, or clear your session, all allocated WebAssembly buffers and memory pointers are instantly destroyed by your browser’s automatic garbage collection. Nothing is stored in browser cache, cookies, or remote databases.

Q: Does iCreatePDF track me or use tracking cookies?

No. We do not use third-party tracking cookies or sell your activity to advertisers. We respect your digital privacy. Preferences such as your dark/light theme and selected language are saved purely in your browser’s local storage (`localStorage`).

Q: How do I merge multiple PDFs into one and rearrange or rotate pages?

Open our "Merge PDF" or "Organize PDF" tool, drag and drop all your files, and use the visual thumbnail grid to drag pages into your desired order, rotate individual pages by 90/180/270 degrees, delete unnecessary pages, and click "Merge & Download" to get a combined single PDF file immediately.
