What happens to your files, in plain terms. Most never leave your device at all.
LAST UPDATED AUGUST 2026
This site is built so that there is as little to disclose as possible. Most tools never see your file, there are no accounts, and nothing is stored. Where a file genuinely has to be uploaded, this page says which tools those are and what happens afterwards.

The site uses no advertising or analytics cookies. Some tools may use your browser’s own storage to remember an option you set, and that data never leaves your device.

The tools are general-purpose utilities and are not directed at children. Since we collect no personal information from anyone, we hold none belonging to a child either.
If the way files are handled changes, this page changes with it and the date at the top is updated. Material changes will be reflected on the affected tool pages as well.
