Secure-worker PDF/AChecking…

PDF to PDF/A runs on an encrypted secure worker

PDF/A conversion uses Ghostscript on the isolated worker to create an archive-oriented PDF/A-2b file. It produces a real PDF output or fails honestly — no browser placeholder and no fabricated compliance claim. We do not validate the result against the PDF/A specification, so this is a best-effort conversion rather than a certification. PDF/A cannot represent everything a PDF can, and anything Ghostscript has to remove is listed with your download.

Checking whether a secure worker is available…

No uploader is shown until the worker is ready, so PDF/A conversion never pretends to process a file it cannot actually run.

Pressing it sends us the tool's name — nothing about you.

What happens to your file

1. Encrypted uploadYour file is uploaded directly to short-lived, encrypted storage over a pre-signed URL.
2. Structural preflightEach file is checked that it really is the type it claims to be, and malformed ones are rejected. Files are not scanned for malware here.
3. Isolated processingA single-job sandbox with no network egress does the work, then is destroyed.
4. DownloadYou get a signed, expiring link to the result — no account required.
5. Auto-deleteInputs are wiped right after processing; outputs auto-delete within the retention window.

Common questions

What happens to my file after PDF to PDF/A runs?

The file is processed on an encrypted, isolated worker. Inputs are wiped when the job finishes, the download link stops working after 60 minutes, and stored copies are erased by a daily storage rule.
