How File Conversion Works

We convert your files using two different methods, depending on the format type. Most conversions (about 90%) happen directly in your browser for maximum privacy and speed. Complex document conversions use our secure EU servers.

Browser-Based Conversion (Images, Audio, Video)

When you convert media files like images, audio, or video, everything happens in your browser:

  • Your file never leaves your device
  • We use industry-standard conversion technology
  • Processing is fast because there's no upload wait time
  • Complete privacy – we never see your files

Common browser conversions include:

  • Image formats (JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, SVG, etc.)
  • Audio formats (MP3, WAV, FLAC, AAC, etc.)
  • Video formats (MP4, WebM, AVI, MOV, etc.)

Server-Based Conversion (Documents & PDFs)

For complex document conversions, we use secure servers located in the EU:

  • Professional document processing for formats like DOCX, PDF, XLSX
  • Text extraction from scanned documents (OCR is in the pipeline)
  • Advanced formatting preservation
  • Files are automatically deleted after 5 minutes
  • GDPR-compliant processing

Document conversions include:

  • Office formats (DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, ODT)
  • PDF creation and conversion
  • Markdown and text formats
  • Scanned document text extraction

Your Privacy is Protected

Regardless of which method is used:

  • Browser conversions: Your files never leave your device
  • Server conversions: Automatic deletion within 5 minutes
  • No file logging or data retention
  • Malware scanning on all uploads
  • Hosted in Austria, fully GDPR compliant
