Privacy policy.
This page explains what happens when you use the webpage-to-PDF converter. The short version: we process the public URL you submit to make the PDF you asked for, return the result directly to your browser, and do not build a history of your conversions.
What this tool does.
You provide a public webpage address. Our serverless endpoint validates the address and sends it to Cloudflare Browser Run, which opens the page in a headless browser and prints the rendered page to a PDF. The PDF is returned to your browser for download. The converter is not an archive and does not provide ongoing access to pages it has processed.
What we process.
- The URL you submit. It is used to validate the destination and request the rendered page from Cloudflare Browser Run. It is kept in memory only while the request is active. We do not write it into our application logs or use it for advertising.
- The rendered webpage and output PDF. Cloudflare Browser Run processes the page content to create the PDF. The finished PDF is returned through our endpoint to your browser. We do not keep a copy of the PDF or the page content. Cloudflare may cache generated output for a few seconds (five seconds by default) to protect against duplicate requests.
- Technical request data. Cloudflare receives your IP address and standard HTTP headers so it can route and protect the request. Our Worker uses the IP address in memory for a small per-network rate limit and does not write it to application event logs. Cloudflare may retain ordinary operational and security metadata under its own policies.
How we use this information.
We use the data described above only to perform the conversion you requested, protect the service from abuse, diagnose failures, and keep the tool available. We do not sell personal information, build user profiles, or use conversion URLs for advertising.
How long we keep it.
We do not store the source URL or the finished PDF after the request completes. The PDF exists in your browser’s memory until you download it or close the tab. Cloudflare’s renderer may cache generated output for a few seconds by default. Rate-limit counters reset within fifteen minutes. Cloudflare may retain ordinary hosting, security, and diagnostic metadata for its own operational purposes.
Cookies and analytics.
This site does not set advertising or tracking cookies. The converter uses no account cookies and does not store your URL in browser storage. We do not run a first-party analytics endpoint for this tool. Cloudflare may collect aggregated request and security metrics as part of serving the site.
Third parties.
Cloudflare provides the hosting, network, and Browser Run rendering service used by this site. The website you ask us to convert receives a request from Cloudflare Browser Run, not from your browser. It may see Cloudflare’s network address and browser headers. The operator of that website may process that request under its own privacy policy. Read Cloudflare’s privacy policy for more information about its processing.
Security.
We use HTTPS, restrict the service to HTTP and HTTPS destinations, block obvious private and local addresses, limit request and output sizes, rate-limit requests, and check that browser requests come from this site. Cloudflare Browser Run isolates rendering from our application. No system is perfectly secure, so do not submit private, confidential, or token-bearing URLs.
Children.
This tool is intended for general audiences and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes.
We may update this policy when the service changes. The effective date at the top of this page will be updated when we do.
