What happens to your files

Nothing on this site uploads your files. Every tool here does its work with WebAssembly inside the page you have open, using your own processor. When you drop a PDF on the compressor, that PDF is read by JavaScript running in your tab and never travels anywhere.

You do not have to take that on trust. Open your browser's developer tools, switch to the network tab, and run any tool on this site. You will see the page's own code load, and for the background remover you will see the model weights download from Hugging Face. You will not see a request carrying your file, because there is no endpoint on this site that accepts one.

What does travel

Three tools download something before they can work: the background remover and the passport photo tool fetch the RMBG model, the upscaler fetches Swin2SR, and the scan reader fetches a Tesseract language model. Those requests go to Hugging Face and jsDelivr and they carry no part of your file. The video compressor loads the ffmpeg core from unpkg, in the same way.

Your browser also asks this site for the page, its stylesheet, its fonts and the PDF worker. That is an ordinary web request, and the host records it in a server log the way every web host does.

What we do not have

There are no accounts, so there is no email address of yours here. There is no upload endpoint, so there is no copy of your document. There is no cookie banner because there are no tracking cookies to consent to. Nothing you process is stored between visits, in your browser or anywhere else, with one deliberate exception: your browser caches the downloaded models so the second run is fast.

Your signature, if you use the signing tool, is held in the page only while the tab is open. It is deliberately not saved, because keeping an image of somebody's signature in browser storage is a bad idea.

Why the tools are free

Because they cost nothing to run. A converter that processes files on a server pays for that server by the second, which is why those services cap you at a few hundred files a month and ask for a card. Here your laptop does the work, so there is nothing to meter and no reason to put a limit or a watermark on it.

If something here is wrong

If you find a claim on this site that does not hold up, it should be corrected rather than defended. The site is at https://quicktools.osegonte.com and it is built by Kiln.
