PaperStack is a free set of document tools for PDF, Word, images, CSV, and text. Processing runs in your browser on your device, operated by Dreamroot IT Pvt Ltd.
You need an internet connection to load the site and the tool. Once a tool is open, the file itself is processed on your device rather than uploaded to our servers.
Privacy & security
No. Core tools process files in your browser. Your document stays on your device and is not uploaded to PaperStack servers for processing.
Yes. Processing runs inside your browser on your device. Files and text are not sent to our servers for processing, and we do not keep copies of your documents.
No. We do not keep copies of files you process. When you close the tab, the work stays on your device unless you downloaded a result yourself.
Unlocking or working with a protected PDF still happens in your browser. We do not receive the file or the password. Use a password you trust on this device.
Yes. Because processing is local, many people use PaperStack for sensitive office, legal, and personal documents instead of uploading them to a random converter.
No. We do not read or store the contents of files you process in the browser. See the Privacy Policy for how the website itself uses cookies and analytics.
Yes. paperstack.in is served over HTTPS. File processing still happens on your device after the page loads.
PDF tools
Yes. Merge PDF joins multiple PDFs into one file in your browser. You can reorder files before merging. Password-protected PDFs may need to be unlocked first.
Yes. Split PDF lets you break a document into individual pages or ranges and download the result from your browser.
Yes. Compress PDF shrinks many files by recompressing page content in the browser. Very simple scanned files may not get much smaller if they are already optimized.
Yes. Rotate PDF can turn pages (for example 90°, 180°, or 270°) locally and let you download the corrected file.
Open Remove pages, select the pages you do not need, and download a new PDF without those pages. The original file on your computer is not overwritten unless you replace it.
Yes. Extract pages builds a new PDF that contains only the pages you choose.
Yes. JPG to PDF and related tools turn images into a PDF in your browser. You can usually add several images and set the page order before downloading.
Yes. PDF to JPG, PDF to PNG, and PDF to images render each page locally so you can download image files.
Yes. Add watermark and Add page numbers stamp text or numbering onto pages in the browser, then you download the updated PDF.
Yes. Protect PDF can add a password in your browser. Keep the password somewhere safe — we cannot recover it later because we never see the file.
Unlock PDF can remove a password you already know. It cannot bypass encryption if you do not have the password.
Yes. Compare PDF helps you review two documents side by side in the browser so you can spot layout or content differences.
Word tools
Yes. WORD to PDF converts DOCX files in your browser so you can share a PDF without installing Microsoft Office.
Yes. DOCX to HTML and DOCX to TXT extract content locally so you can reuse it on the web or in another editor.
No. Word tools run in the browser. You only need a .docx file (or similar) on your device.
No. Conversion tools read document content; they do not run VBA macros or install Office add-ins.
Most text, headings, and images come through. Complex layouts, custom fonts, or unusual SmartArt may look slightly different because conversion happens in the browser, not in desktop Word.
Image tools
Yes. Resize IMAGE and Compress IMAGE change dimensions or file size in your browser. Original files on disk are not replaced until you download and save the new version.
Yes. Crop and Mirror tools let you trim or flip photos locally and download the edited image.
Yes. WebP converter and HEIC to JPG help you change camera and web formats in the browser so they open more easily elsewhere.
Yes. Background remover runs in the browser. Results depend on contrast between the subject and the background.
Yes. SVG to PNG, SVG optimizer, and related utilities process vector files locally for sharing or simpler markup.
CSV & data
Yes. CSV Viewer shows rows in the browser so you can inspect a spreadsheet file without uploading it.
Yes. CSV to Excel and Excel to CSV convert between .csv and .xlsx in your browser.
Yes. Table filter, column sorter, and duplicate remover help clean tabular data locally before you download a new file.
It depends on your device memory. Very large sheets may feel slow in the browser. If a file stalls, try a smaller export or close other tabs.
Text tools
Yes. Word Counter shows words, characters, and related stats in the browser as you paste or type.
Text Cleaner helps strip extra spaces, messy line breaks, and leftover formatting from copied text so you can paste a cleaner version into a document or CMS.
Yes. Case Converter and Find & Replace run entirely in the tab. Nothing you type is uploaded for processing.
Yes. Rich text to plain removes hidden formatting from copied HTML or Word content so you get clean characters only.
Files & results
It depends on the tool. PDF tools expect PDF (and some accept images). Word tools expect DOCX. Image tools accept common formats such as JPG, PNG, WebP, or HEIC. CSV tools expect CSV or Excel. Each tool page lists what it accepts.
There is no PaperStack upload quota because files are not sent to our servers. Practical limits come from your browser and device memory. Very large PDFs or spreadsheets may fail on a phone.
Some tools trade quality for size (image and PDF compression). Converted files try to keep content readable. Always keep your original until you have checked the download.
No. Tools produce a new result for you to download. Your original stays on disk until you choose to replace it.
Some tools, such as Merge PDF and JPG to PDF, accept multiple files in one session. Others work on one document at a time. Check the tool page for details.
Refresh the tab and try again with a smaller file, or unlock a password-protected PDF first. If it still fails, email support@paperstack.in with the tool name and browser — do not send the confidential file unless we ask.
