By accessing or using DocuVerse (https://docuverse.tools), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the service.

We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Continued use of the service after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

2. Description of Service

DocuVerse provides a free, browser-based toolkit for processing PDF documents and images. All processing is performed locally in your web browser using WebAssembly technology. The service includes tools for:

• PDF manipulation: merging, splitting, compressing, protecting, unlocking, organizing, watermarking, signing, and converting
• Image editing: cropping, compressing, resizing, converting, and metadata removal
• Developer utilities: OCR text extraction, SVG optimization, Base64 encoding, and favicon generation

The service is provided free of charge. We fund the service through non-intrusive display advertising.

3. No Account Required

DocuVerse requires no registration, email address, or account creation. You may use all tools as an anonymous visitor. This also means we cannot maintain any user account for you, nor can we recover any files you have processed.
