The catalog covers organizing, editing, security, conversion, forms, extraction, OCR, document comparison, and other PDF workflows. AI tools currently cover summarization, document questions, structured extraction, and translation. The separate 1PDF MCP Server exposes PDF operations to compatible AI agents.
Processing and account boundaries
| Workflow | Account | Document data | Limit or condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Local PDF tools | No account required | Processing runs on your device. The original file is not uploaded to 1PDF servers. | Files up to 100 MB per browser selection. |
| AI PDF tools | Account and available AI Credits required to run | The original PDF stays local. Only extracted text, the user instruction, and limited chat context are sent after the user explicitly starts a task. | The browser accepts PDFs up to 100 MB; usable text and Credit limits also apply. |
| Optional cloud storage | Paid account required | A file is uploaded only after the user explicitly chooses a cloud action. Local processing remains the default. | Retention depends on the paid plan; users can delete saved files from their account. |
Important qualifications
- Local tools require a modern browser and enough device memory for the selected file.
- Image-only PDFs may require OCR before text extraction or AI analysis can work.
- AI output can be incomplete or incorrect and should be checked against the source.
- Free local tools have no daily run cap or watermark, but the 100 MB browser file limit and device constraints still apply.
- Plan features, prices, Credit allowances, and retention periods may change.
