Are my files safe? — the one-line answer first, then the details
In one line: while you are signed out, your file never leaves this device. Editing and format conversion happen entirely in the browser; nothing is uploaded unless you choose “Save to cloud”. Here are the details you can verify yourself.
Where the file is
- Signed out: your work sits in the browser’s localStorage and touches no server
- Conversions: reading, parsing and writing the new file all happen on your device
- After you sign in and save: the file is on our servers, reachable only by you and whoever you share it with
How to check for yourself
- Press F12 → Network tab → run a conversion and watch for an upload request
- The stronger test: switch the network off and try again — it still works
- Neither test requires taking our word for it
Things we do not do
- We do not train any model on your files
- We do not hand file contents to third parties
- We do not insert watermarks or tracking markers
- The editors and converters need no account, so there is no identity attached to them either
Risks you should know about
- Signed out, clearing browser data loses the work permanently — we have no backup, because we never had the file
- A share link works for anyone who has it; send it only to people who should see it
- On a shared computer, sign out and clear browser data when you are done
FAQ
- Can you see my documents?
- Not while you are signed out — the file never reached us. Once you sign in and save to the cloud it sits on our servers; we do not read it, but technically it is in our storage and we will not pretend otherwise.
- Are my files used to train AI?
- No. The AI assistant only sends what you select, when you start a conversation. Nothing scans your documents in the background.
- Is the file uploaded temporarily during conversion?
- No. All eight conversions run in the browser using JavaScript libraries downloaded with the page. Verifiable offline.
- Is delete really delete?
- Cloud files go to a recycle bin and can be restored; permanently deleting from there clears the stored object too. Anything local while signed out is managed by your browser and is beyond our reach.
