Your files
Files you open in the editor are read by your browser, on your device. They are not uploaded, because there is nowhere to upload them to: every operation — reading, checking, editing, undo, conversion and export — happens inside your own browser tab.
You can verify this without taking our word for it: disconnect from the internet once the page has loaded and carry on working. Everything still functions, because nothing was ever going anywhere.
What is stored on your device
To make the editor usable across sessions, some data is stored locally. None of it is transmitted anywhere.
- Your recent files and their autosaved contents, so an accidentally closed tab does not lose your work.
- Your preferences: theme, light or dark mode, language, and your advertising choice.
All of it is kept by your browser, on this device, and never sent anywhere. Clearing this site’s data in your browser removes every last piece of it. The editor also lets you remove a file from the recents list, which deletes its stored copy immediately.
Analytics
This site measures page views, using Vercel Web Analytics — the same company that serves the pages. It records which page was opened, the address of the link that led here, an approximate country, and the kind of device and browser. Nothing else.
It is cookieless: no cookie is set and nothing is written to your browser’s storage for it.
Visits are grouped by an identifier derived from your request, salted with a value that is discarded and regenerated every day. That is what stops it from becoming a profile: after a day there is no way to connect a visit to any earlier one, and no way to connect it to your activity on any other site.
There is no session recording, no heat map, no persistent fingerprint and no advertising use of any of it.
None of it touches your files. What you open, edit, or export is never part of any measurement — that work happens entirely in your browser and there is nothing to report.
Advertising
Content pages — the landing page, the guides and the conversion pages — carry advertising from Adsterra. This pays for the domain and hosting and is what keeps the editor free.
Nothing is fetched from an ad server until you consent to it. Until then the ad space is an empty box, and no request has left your browser on its account.
Each advert sits in a sandboxed frame of its own, in a separate origin from this site. It cannot read this page, the preferences kept in your browser’s storage, or anything about the file you have open — that isolation is enforced by the browser itself, not promised by the advertiser.
If you consent, Adsterra and the advertisers it sells to may set cookies inside that frame and use them to choose the advertising you see. Adsterra acts as an independent data controller for this; its handling is governed by Adsterra’s own privacy policy, not by this one.
You can change or withdraw your choice at any time using the Cookie settings link in the footer of every page. Withdrawing consent takes the adverts off the page you are on and stops any from loading afterwards.
Advertising is never shown inside the editor’s file area, and the editor works identically whether you consent or not.
Cookies
This site sets no cookies of its own — not for sessions, not for preferences, not for analytics. Your preferences are kept in your browser’s own storage, which is never sent along with a request.
The only cookies that can appear are those set inside an advert’s own frame, and only after you have consented.
Hosting
The pages themselves come from a hosting provider. Like any web host, it handles the address your request arrives from in order to send the page back, and may keep short-lived operational logs. That is an unavoidable part of serving a web page, and it is not used to build a profile of you.
Your rights
Because no personal data about you is collected or stored on any server under this site’s control, there is no account to access, correct or delete. Everything the site knows about you is on your own device, and clearing this site’s data in your browser removes all of it.
For any request concerning advertising data, Adsterra is the controller and its own process applies.
Children
This site is a technical tool with no social features and is not directed at children.
Changes
If this policy changes in a way that affects what is collected, the date at the top of this page will change and the consent choice will be requested again.
