Your files never leave your device.

Every file you convert on convert.now is processed entirely on your own device, in your browser, using WebAssembly and JavaScript running in Web Workers. Your files are never uploaded to any server. There is no upload endpoint — the conversion code reads the file you select, transforms it locally, and hands the result back to you as a download.

Because the files never reach us, we cannot see them, store them, scan them, or share them. We could not hand them to anyone even if we were asked to, because we never receive them in the first place.

You can verify this yourself: open your browser's DevTools, switch to the Network tab, and run a conversion. You will not see a request that carries your file's contents. After the first page load, the tools even work fully offline. See Browser support for the step-by-step.

To understand which tools are useful and to keep the site fast, we use two privacy-friendly, aggregate analytics products from our host, Vercel:

• Vercel Web Analytics — cookieless, aggregate page-view analytics. It does not set tracking cookies and does not build a cross-site profile of you.
• Vercel Speed Insights — anonymous performance metrics (Core Web Vitals such as load and interaction timings) so we can find and fix slow pages.

We also fire a small custom analytics event when a conversion completes. That event contains only coarse, non-identifying metadata:

• which tool was used (e.g. the image converter);
• the source and target format (e.g. PNG to WebP);
• a coarse size bucket (e.g. “1–10MB”), never the exact size;
• a count of how many files were in the batch.

That event never includes file contents, file names, or anything that identifies you. It is metadata about the conversion, not about the file or the person.

• We do not upload, store, or transmit your files.
• We do not use accounts — there is nothing to sign up for and no login.
• We do not use tracking or advertising cookies.
• We do not run third-party ad networks or ad trackers.
• We do not sell, rent, or trade any data.

The site is served by Vercel via its global CDN. As with essentially any website, the hosting layer may record standard server access logs — things like your IP address, the page requested, timestamp, and user-agent — as part of normal operation, security, and abuse prevention. These are infrastructure logs handled by our host; they are not used to identify you and, importantly, they do not contain your file contents (because your files are never sent to the server). Vercel's handling of this data is governed by its own privacy and data-processing terms.

convert.now is a general-purpose utility and is not directed at children. Because we collect no accounts and no personal information, the site does not knowingly collect data from children.

If we change how the site handles data, we will update this page and the “last updated” date above. Because the core promise — files are processed locally and never uploaded — is built into how the product works, it is not something we expect to change.

Questions about privacy? The project is open about how it works — you can reach us via our GitHub repository, or read the open-source attributions for the libraries that power the tools.
