If you do not agree to these Terms of Service, you should not use or access this website. These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access or use the Service.

2. Description of Service

UtilsBuddy provides free, browser-based online utility tools for PDF processing, image manipulation, and text transformation. Our tools include PDF merging, splitting, rotating, conversion to various formats, image compression, resizing, cropping, and text utilities such as word counting, case conversion, and text cleaning.

All tools are provided as-is and are designed to process files locally in your web browser whenever possible. Some tools may use secure third-party processing for specific file format conversions.

3. Use License

Permission is granted to use the tools on the UtilsBuddy website for personal and non-commercial use. This is the grant of a license, not a transfer of title. Under this license, you may not:

  • Modify or copy the website's source code or materials for redistribution
  • Use the materials for any commercial purpose or for any public display
  • Attempt to decompile or reverse-engineer any software contained on the website
  • Remove any copyright or other proprietary notations from the materials
  • Transfer the materials to another person or mirror the materials on any other server

This license shall automatically terminate if you violate any of these restrictions and may be terminated by UtilsBuddy at any time.

4. Acceptable Use Policy

You agree to use UtilsBuddy only for lawful purposes and in a way that does not infringe the rights of, restrict, or inhibit anyone else's use and enjoyment of the website. Prohibited behavior includes but is not limited to:

  • Processing files that contain illegal, harmful, or copyrighted content without authorization

5. Data Privacy and File Processing

We value your privacy and take data security seriously. Our approach to file processing and data handling is as follows:

  • Local Processing: The majority of our tools process files directly in your web browser using client-side JavaScript. Your files are never uploaded to our servers for these tools.
  • No File Storage: We do not store, save, or retain any files that you process through our tools. Once processing is complete, the data exists only on your local device.
  • No Personal Data Collection: We do not collect personally identifiable information beyond what is necessary for the website to function (e.g., cookies for consent and analytics).
  • Third-Party Processing: Some conversion tools may utilize secure third-party services. In those cases, files are transmitted securely and are deleted immediately after processing.

For more details about how we handle your data, please review our Privacy Policy.
