## Privacy First: 100% Local Processing

The standout feature that sets pdf.tomake.design apart from competitors.

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Zero uploads" icon="ban">
    Your PDF files never leave your computer. All processing happens locally in your browser.
  </Card>

  <Card title="No servers" icon="server">
    No data transmission over the network. No storage on external servers.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Complete privacy" icon="shield-check">
    Perfect for confidential client files, sensitive documents, and proprietary designs.

## Three Powerful Conversion Modes

Total import flexibility to fit your exact workflow needs.

### Editable Vector Layers (Recommended)

<Card icon="pen-to-square">
  **Best for:** Design work requiring full editability

  Convert PDFs into truly editable Figma designs:

  * All vectors converted to native Figma paths
  * Text preserved as editable Figma text layers
  * Images extracted as separate layers
  * Shapes, paths, and illustrations fully modifiable
  * Perfect for iterating on designs
  * Building design systems from PDFs
  * Creating reusable components
</Card>

### High-Fidelity SVG

<Card icon="image">
  **Best for:** Maintaining exact visual appearance

  Converts to SVG for precise rendering:

  * Pixel-perfect visual match to original
  * Preserves complex effects and styling
  * Ideal for logos and brand assets
  * No font matching issues
  * Maintains visual fidelity perfectly
  * Best for branding materials
</Card>

### Rasterized Images

<Card icon="photo-film">
  **Best for:** Quick previews and references

  Converts to high-quality images:

  * Fastest conversion method
  * Perfect for mockups and presentations
  * Smallest file size
  * Great for reference materials
  * Ideal for mood boards in FigJam
  * Quick visual references
</Card>

## Core features

### Blazing-fast parallel processing

Our optimized rendering pipeline processes multiple pages simultaneously:

* Pages render in parallel for maximum speed
* Complex, multi-page documents convert quickly
* Real-time progress indicators
* Efficient handling of large files
* Spend less time waiting, more time designing

<Tip>
  Even 100+ page documents convert in seconds thanks to parallel processing.
</Tip>

### Multi-page import

Convert entire PDF documents at once:

* Import all pages in one operation
* Selective page import (choose specific pages)
* Page range support (e.g., pages 1-5, 10-15)
* Customizable page layouts and spacing
* Organized frame structure in Figma

### Works everywhere

Seamlessly integrates across the Figma ecosystem:
