A free Sejda alternative with no hourly limits
Sejda is a capable PDF suite — but it uploads your files to its servers and pushes you toward an account and a paid plan. Private PDF (PdfToolbox) takes the opposite approach: every operation runs in your browser, so your documents never leave your device.
How Private PDF compares
| Private PDF | Sejda | |
|---|---|---|
| Files uploaded to a server | Never | Yes |
| Account required | No | For many features |
| Daily limits | None | Yes (free tier) |
| Price | Free | Freemium |
| Works offline | Yes | No |
Sejda is a capable PDF editor, but its free tier caps you at a few tasks per hour and a page/size limit, and larger jobs are processed on its servers. The moment you need to do several documents in a row, you hit the meter.
PdfToolbox has no hourly limit and no per-document cap beyond your own device's memory, because there's no server doing the work to ration. Merge, split, compress, convert and edit as many PDFs as you like, locally and for free.

Questions, answered
Is there a tasks-per-hour limit like Sejda?
No. There's no hourly or daily limit — the work runs on your device, so there's nothing to throttle.
Is it free? Do I need an account or to install anything?
It's completely free with no sign-up, no email and nothing to install. There are no daily limits and no watermarks on your output.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Every operation runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript, so your files never leave your device. Open your browser's Network tab and watch — nothing is sent or stored.
