Privacy policy

The short version. Almost every tool on this site runs inside your browser. Your file is opened by the page you are looking at, worked on by your own computer, and saved back by you. It is never sent to us, so there is nothing for us to store, read, sell or lose. The exceptions are named below, and so is everything that is collected — analytics.

Your files

Tools marked “Processed on your device” — which is nearly all of them — do the work in JavaScript and WebAssembly running in your browser tab. No copy of the file is uploaded, and turning off your network connection mid-task makes no difference to the result. You can confirm this yourself: open your browser's developer tools, switch to the Network tab, and run a tool. No request carries your file.

The exceptions

A few conversions need software a browser cannot provide — Office documents and spreadsheets converted with full layout fidelity, and HTML rendered to PDF exactly as a browser prints it. Those tools say “Deleted right after converting” rather than “Processed on your device”, and the label is the honest signal of which you are using.

When you use one of those, your file is sent to our server over an encrypted connection, converted, returned to you, and deleted immediately afterwards. It is not backed up, not indexed, not inspected and not used to train anything. If you would rather it never left your machine at all, those pages fall back to an in-browser converter when the server-side one is unavailable, and the in-browser tools elsewhere on the site cover most of the same jobs.

What the site stores in your browser

A session cookie and a CSRF token, which exist so forms cannot be submitted from another site on your behalf. Some tools remember a preference — an output format, a quality setting — in your browser's local storage. That stays on your device and is never sent anywhere. Clearing your site data removes all of it.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to count visits and see which tools are used, so we know what to build and fix. It records things like the page you are on, roughly where in the world you are, your browser and screen size, and how you arrived. It sets cookies to do this.

It does not receive your files, their names, their contents or anything derived from them. That is a deliberate boundary in the code, not a promise: no filename or file content is ever passed into an analytics event. Google describes what it collects in its own privacy policy, and you can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out add-on.

Advertising

This site does not currently show advertising and sets no advertising cookies. If that changes, this page will be updated before any ad is served, and readers in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland will be asked for consent first.

What we never do

• We do not ask you to create an account, and we do not want your email address.
• We do not keep copies of your files.
• We do not sell data, because we do not have any worth selling.
• We do not watermark your output or degrade it to sell you an upgrade.

Children

This site is a general-purpose set of utilities and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Your rights

Where data protection law gives you rights over personal data — access, correction, deletion, objection — you can exercise them by writing to us. In practice there is very little to act on, because the site is built so that the sensitive thing, your file, never reaches us in the first place.

Changes, and how to reach us

If this policy changes in a way that affects what is collected, the date at the top of this page changes with it. Questions about anything here are welcome — get in touch.
