Privacy & Security
This tool runs 100% in your browser. Your files stay entirely on your own device. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is shared, and no server, advertiser, or third party has access to your files.
If a tool saves your work on your own device, you can remove it at any time using the Clear All button. Some tools rely on an external service to return their result; in those cases, only the minimum data required for the request is sent, and never your files or content. Any ads shown on this page run in an isolated frame and cannot read, touch, or transmit anything you upload, paste, type, or download here. Advertisers may see standard visit information like your IP address and which page you're on, as described in our Privacy Policy, but your data itself stays fully under your control.
