Responsible use

Last updated 19 October 2026

Patram is free and runs entirely in your browser: your files are never uploaded, and nobody can see what you process. That privacy is a strength — and it means you are the one responsible for how the tools are used.

In short: use Patram on files you own or are authorised to handle. Do not use it to forge, alter or misrepresent documents, to get around protections you have no right to remove, or to track people without their knowledge. You are responsible for what you do with the results.

What you agree to

Authorised files only. Process documents that are yours, or that you have clear permission to handle.
No forgery or deception. Do not edit, combine, renumber, re-stamp, compress or convert documents in order to mislead — for example to falsify a contract, certificate, invoice, statement, ID, exam result or piece of evidence.
No bypassing others’ protections. Patram does not crack passwords and refuses DRM-protected e-books. Do not try to use it, or anything around it, to defeat copy protection, licensing or access controls you are not entitled to remove.
Respect copyright. Converting, extracting or copying content is for material you own or are licensed to use. Authors and publishers deserve to be paid for their work.
Respect privacy. Scans, statements and IDs contain personal data. Handle outputs as carefully as the originals, and only process other people’s documents with their permission and a legitimate reason.
No harassment or surveillance. Do not use any feature to stalk, intimidate, extort or covertly monitor anyone.

Tool-specific notes

Invisible watermark / tracking mark. Intended for tracing your own documents to the recipient you sent them to (for example, a draft shared under NDA). Tell recipients that copies are individually marked. A mark can be removed by printing, screenshotting or rasterising a page, so treat it as a lead, never as proof. Do not mark documents you do not own, and do not use marks to track people without their knowledge.
Repair PDF. Meant for recovering your own damaged files. It does not bypass passwords or permissions. Recovered content may be incomplete — check it before you rely on it, especially for legal, financial or medical documents.
E-books & comics. Convert only DRM-free books and comics you own or are licensed to use. Conversions are for personal use such as reading on another device, not for redistribution.
Metadata, compress, page numbers, merge, split, organise. Fine for tidying your own files. Not for disguising where a document came from, hiding that it was altered, or creating a misleading record.
Searchable (OCR) and Compare. Results can contain mistakes. OCR output and difference reports are aids, not authoritative copies.
Mass Batch. Applies an operation to every file you add. Keep your originals, double-check settings, and do not run it over other people’s files without permission.

Your responsibility

You are responsible for the files you process and for what you do with the results. Patram is provided “as is”, without warranty of any kind. It is not legal advice, and we cannot verify who you are or what you are doing — so these rules rely on you. If a task is subject to laws, contracts or professional rules (court filings, regulated records, exam submissions), follow them.

Misuse

If you see Patram being used to cause harm, or find a way a feature could be abused, please tell us through the project’s GitHub issues. We may change or remove features that turn out to enable abuse.
