👥 For HR Teams
Batch-protect onboarding packets, watermark confidential files, merge candidate documents — all processed locally. Employee data never uploaded.
Employee files contain some of the most sensitive data an organization handles:
PDFree processes everything locally in your browser. No file is ever uploaded — not to our servers, not to any third-party. The processing happens in your browser's memory and disappears when you close the tab.
Combine the offer letter, tax forms, handbook acknowledgment, and ID copies into a single file per new hire.
Hiring a group at once? Password-protect every new hire's packet in a single pass instead of one at a time.
Stamp "Confidential" across a stack of performance reviews or disciplinary records before they're filed or shared internally.
With PDFree, yes. No file is transmitted to any server. Social security numbers, salary details, and medical information stay in your browser's memory and are cleared when you close the tab. Most other free PDF tools upload your document — check their privacy policy before processing employee data with them.
Yes. Select all the onboarding packets at once in the Protect PDF tool — each is encrypted separately with the same password policy, and you get a ZIP with every protected file, still individual. See the full batch processing guide for all supported tools.
Yes. Once the page has loaded at least once, PDFree functions as a Progressive Web App and works fully offline. This is useful for processing sensitive HR documents on a device not connected to the internet.
All tools. No upload. No account.
Employee data stays on your device.
