Security and Privacy

FreeConverter.net is designed as a lightweight tools website with simple, browser-friendly utilities and clear limits on what each tool does.

Current model

Browser-first tools

Many FreeConverter.net tools run directly in your browser. This helps keep common conversions, calculators, counters, and formatters fast without requiring accounts or server-side file storage.

No account required

The current tools are built for direct use without login, passwords, or user profiles.

Local processing where possible

Image converters, audio converters, OCR, PDF creation, merge, split, compress, PDF-to-JPG, PDF-to-text, rotate, redact, and flatten tools, document makers, quick notes, to-do lists, calculators, counters, and text utilities are designed to run on the user device when practical.

Clear third-party use

The currency converter fetches exchange-rate data from a public provider. The translator helper opens Google Translate, OCR loads a client-side OCR library, batch image downloads load a ZIP library, MP3 output tools load a browser-side MP3 encoder, and advanced PDF pages load client-side PDF libraries.

File handling

How files are handled

For current browser-side tools, selected files are handled by the page running in your browser. Avoid uploading or entering sensitive files into any online service unless you trust the service and understand where the data goes.

Image and PDF tools

JPG, PNG, WebP, image-to-PDF, text-to-PDF, Merge PDF, Split PDF, Compress PDF, PDF to JPG, PDF to Text, Rotate PDF, Redact PDF, and Flatten PDF workflows are built around browser-side processing for everyday files.

Audio tools

WAV, MP3, M4A, AAC, OGG, and WebM audio tools are built for browser-side conversion where the browser supports decoding the source format. Selected audio files are not saved on the FreeConverter.net server.

Text tools

Word counting, image OCR, case conversion, and JSON formatting run in the browser for quick private edits.

Calculators

Finance, tax, unit, and currency tools calculate results on the page. Currency rates are fetched from a public exchange-rate endpoint.

Future server tools

If server-side uploads, accounts, payments, or storage are added later, this page and the privacy policy should be updated before release.

Security FAQ

Does FreeConverter.net require a login?

No. The current public tools do not require an account or password.

Are files uploaded to the server?

The current image, audio, PDF creation, PDF merge, PDF split, PDF compression, PDF-to-JPG, PDF-to-text, PDF rotate, PDF redact, PDF flatten, document, text, notes, to-do, and calculator tools are designed for browser-side use where possible. If a future tool needs server upload, it should clearly say so on that page.

Does the site use third-party APIs?

Yes, for specific features. The currency converter fetches exchange-rate data, the translation helper opens Google Translate in a new tab, OCR loads a client-side OCR library, batch image ZIP downloads load JSZip, MP3 output tools load a client-side MP3 encoder, and advanced PDF tools load client-side libraries from CDNs.

Should I use these tools for confidential documents?

For highly sensitive legal, medical, financial, or business documents, use approved internal tools or offline software. Online tools are best for everyday non-sensitive work.
