Why use an offline in-browser PDF reader?

The Problem With Most Online PDF Viewers

Common online PDF tools require you to upload your files to remote cloud servers. If your document contains medical records, tax filings, legal contracts, confidential research, or student grades, uploading it creates immediate security and data privacy risks.

How Mai-Reads Solves This

  • Zero Server Uploads: Uses WebAssembly and local JavaScript to render pages directly on your device.
  • Full Offline Support: Works with or without an active internet connection as a progressive web app.
  • In-Browser Highlighting: Select text to highlight and burn annotations directly into exported PDFs.
  • Smooth Anchor Zoom: Mathematical anchor lock keeps your position stable without jitter.
