Most of these never send your file anywhere.

The short version

• Fifteen of sixteen tools upload nothing. The work happens in your own browser. Nothing is sent, so there is nothing for us to keep, lose or be asked for.
• The one that uses a server holds your file in memory for the operation and discards it the moment the result returns. It is never written to a database.
• No account is required for any tool. An account stores four things and no files — listed below.
• No advertising, no trackers, no third-party analytics. Nothing on the page reports what you did with it.

Every tool, and where it runs

Generated from the same table the tools themselves read, so it cannot fall out of step with the software.

What an account stores

Four fields. There is no row for files, because there are no files to put in one.

• email
• password hash
• today's counter
• plan

Deleting your account removes that row. Every tool keeps working afterwards at 5 server runs a day, exactly as it does for someone who never signed up.

What we count

Six things, all about the tools and none about your file. Your file is not on this list and cannot be: there is no column for a name, a size or a page count.

• which tool ran
• which tool ran before it
• one of five words for the kind of file — pdf, image, data, text or other
• the day it happened, and nothing finer
• a random tag for this browser, with no name or email attached
• searches that found nothing, so we can see which tool to build next

None of it is sent while you are working on a file. The counts are written down in your own browser and go out later, from the homepage or your dashboard, where no file is involved. That is why a tool page still makes no request at all while it runs — open the Network tab and check. Turning it off in your account settings also throws away anything still waiting to be sent.

The honest half

• A step that carries a file into the next tool writes it to your browser's own storage for the length of one page load, then deletes it on arrival. Nothing leaves the device, but "nothing is stored" would be the wrong word for that moment.
• The one server tool sends your file over the network. It is encrypted in transit and discarded after the run, but if that is not acceptable for a document, use one of the 15 browser tools instead — they are listed above by name.
• Your browser and your network provider still see what they always see. We cannot make claims about anything outside this page.
• Cropping and watermarking hide, they do not delete. Content outside a crop frame is still inside the file. Each of those rooms says so on the page.
