Your files stay on your computer. Do not take our word for it.
Every other site that does this asks you to trust a sentence in a privacy policy. This one can be checked in about a minute, by you, right now. Here is how.
counting…
Three ways to check, hardest first
- Pull the plug. Open the tools, use one once so your browser has the files, then turn off your Wi-Fi or switch on aeroplane mode and reload the page. It still opens, and every tool still works. Software that sends your files somewhere cannot do that.
- Watch the network yourself. Press F12 (⌥⌘I on a Mac), open the Network tab, then merge, convert or compress something. You will see the page and its code load once, and then nothing — no upload, whatever the file size. Compare that with any site that has a progress bar during "processing".
- Read what is running. Right-click anywhere and choose View page source. There is no analytics tag, no tracker, no third-party script. This very page loads nothing at all — no font, no stylesheet, no script from outside — which is why the number above can be zero.
What we do and do not do
| Send your files to a server | Never. There is no server to send them to. |
| Ask for an account, an email, or a payment | No. None of the tools are gated. |
| Set cookies, or run analytics or advertising | None of the three. |
| Limit file size or how many files you may do | No — the limit is your own computer's memory. |
| Keep anything after you close the tab | Nothing. Your files were only ever in this tab's memory. |
| Store one small thing on your device | Yes — which of the three colour themes you picked, so the page does not forget it. It lives in your browser and never leaves it. |
| Keep a copy of the site so it works offline | Yes — your browser caches the code, the same way it caches any page. You can clear it any time from your browser's settings. |
Why this is possible at all
Browsers grew up. Reading a PDF, decoding a photograph, recognising letters in a scan, drawing a CAD file — all of that now runs perfectly well inside a tab, on your own processor. The usual reason a file-conversion site uploads your document is not that it must; it is that a server is easier to bill for and easier to measure. We chose the harder build and kept the files where they started.
One honest caveat: the recognition models and the drawing decoder are large, so the first time you use those particular tools your browser downloads that code from this site — code coming down, never your files going up. After that they work offline too.
