Privacy

Last updated November 9, 2026

Your files

Browser tools (marked "runs in your browser") process files entirely on your device. Your files are never uploaded to us.

Server tools (Word to PDF and Searchable PDF) send your file to our server over an encrypted connection. It is converted immediately, and both the original and the result are deleted as soon as the converted file is sent back to you. We do not keep, read, share or sell files, and we don't use them for anything except the conversion you asked for.

What we collect

We don't have accounts, so we don't collect your name or email. Our server temporarily sees your IP address so it can limit abuse (for example, too many conversions per minute); it isn't stored with your files or used to identify you.
