None of this leaves your device

88 tools for PDFs, images, text, spreadsheets, unit conversion, passwords and CSS. Most of them never touch a file at all — you type, and the answer appears. Either way the work happens on your own machine.

Don't take our word for it

Open your browser's developer tools, switch to the Network tab, and use any tool here. Your file never appears in it. That takes about thirty seconds and it settles the question better than a privacy policy can.

Nothing is uploadedThe site is a folder of static files. No backend, no database, no API. What you open or type cannot be sent anywhere, because there is nowhere to send it.$ POST → no endpoint exists
It works offlineLoad a tool page once and everything it needs is already on your device. Turn off your WiFi. The tools keep working.$ airplane mode → still works
No accountNo sign-up, no email, no daily limit, no watermark. Your browser does the work, so it costs us nothing when you use a tool. There is nothing to meter.$ signup → not implemented

How this differs from the big tool sites

Smallpdf and iLovePDF are good software. Read their security pages, though, and notice what every promise on them is about: keeping your file safe once it is sitting on their servers.

they say

“256-bit TLS encryption for secure information transfer.”

Termiva

There is no transfer. The file is opened by your own device.

they say

“Your files are deleted from our servers after one hour.”

Termiva

Nothing to delete. No server ever held a copy.

they say

“ISO 27001 certified, GDPR compliant.”

Termiva

Those standards cover how a company handles your data. We never collect any.

they need

An internet connection, a queue, and an upload progress bar.

Termiva

Works in airplane mode once the page has loaded. Go and try it.

Where they are genuinely better: heavy conversion — PDF to Word, OCR, deep compression — needs engines that cannot ship inside a web page. We do not pretend otherwise.
