Privacy by architecture

Your files are not our business model.

Nearly every tool here runs inside your browser using WebAssembly and the Canvas API. Your document is opened, edited and saved on your own device — there is no upload, so there is nothing for us to store, scan or leak.

A small number of formats genuinely need a server: HEIC and TIFF decoding, legacy Office documents, and the media downloader. Those are clearly labelled on each tool, and the file is deleted the moment the response is sent.

Read how this works

  • Local processing by default

    PDF, image, Word and OCR tools never send your file anywhere.

  • Automatic deletion

    Anything that does reach our server is removed on a timer — one hour by default.

  • Signed, expiring downloads

    Stored results are reachable only through a signed link that expires.

  • No account, ever

    There is nothing to sign up for. Every tool works the moment you open the page.

  • Nothing is sold or profiled

    We record which tools get used, never what is in your files.
