PDFly processes files in your browser for maximum privacy. PDF24 offers a desktop app and online tools with server-side processing. Both are free, but PDF24 requires installation for its desktop version and limits online usage.
PDFly is better for browser-based, no-install workflows with full privacy. PDF24 is better if you prefer a desktop app or need features like OCR. For quick, free tasks without installation, PDFly wins.
