// How it works

Three steps. Zero uploads.

01
Drop
Drag your PDF onto the page. It stays on your device the entire time.
02
Annotate
Click anywhere on a page to add a sticky note. Drag to reposition, double-click to edit. Choose from four colours.
03
Download
Save the annotated PDF. Nothing was ever uploaded.
// Why this is different

Your PDF never leaves your machine.

Most online annotation tools upload your document to a server, let you add notes on a preview, then process the file remotely. Your content passes through infrastructure you don’t control — for a task your browser handles perfectly.

fwip works differently. The annotation engine runs entirely in your browser. Your PDF is read from your device, processed on your CPU, and the result is saved back to your device. No server is involved. We literally cannot see your file.

No server processing

Everything runs on your device using WebAssembly. Your file never touches a network.

No account required

Drop a file. Get a result. No sign-up, no email, no password.

No subscription

Free in the browser. $99 once for the offline bundle. That's it. Forever.

Works offline

The desktop version works with no internet connection at all.
