# FixMyPDFs vs tmps.fyi

> FixMyPDFs is the better fit for fixing, converting, signing or redacting a PDF, especially a sensitive one, since processing stays local and it works offline. tmps.fyi is the better fit for moving a link, screenshot or small file from one device to another. It deletes spaces after 10 idle minutes and is not end-to-end encrypted.

FixMyPDFs and tmps.fyi are both free browser tools, but they solve different problems. One edits documents. The other moves things between devices.

FixMyPDFs offers 69 PDF tools that run on the visitor's own device, covering merging, compressing, redaction, signing and OCR. Files are not uploaded. tmps.fyi is an online clipboard. A named temporary space passes text, images, files and screenshots between devices, and it needs no app or account.

## Who FixMyPDFs is for

Suited to people who need a quick PDF fix and do not want to upload sensitive documents to a third-party server, such as contracts, IDs or financial files. It also fits anyone who wants to avoid sign-ups, watermarks and daily limits. Very large files are limited by the memory of the device, since all processing is local.

## Who tmps.fyi is for

People who own two or more devices and need to move a snippet, link, screenshot or small file between them without signing in or pairing. It fits developers testing on a phone, people in meetings who need to pass a link along, and mixed Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android setups. It is not meant for long-term storage or sensitive data.
