Security

Your privacy and security are our top priorities

🔒 Client-Side Processing Architecture

Unlike traditional online converters, OnlineConvert processes all files directly in your browser. Your files never leave your device, eliminating the risk of data interception, storage, or misuse.

Zero Upload

Your files are never uploaded to any server. All processing happens locally in your browser.

No Data Storage

We don't store, log, or have access to your files. Complete privacy guaranteed.

HTTPS Encryption

All connections to our website are encrypted with industry-standard SSL/TLS protocols.

Open Source

Our code is transparent and can be inspected using browser developer tools.

Instant Processing

No waiting for uploads or downloads from remote servers. Immediate results.

No Registration

Use all tools anonymously without creating an account or sharing personal data.

How It Works

1. File Selection

When you select a file, it's loaded into your browser's memory using the FileReader API. The file never leaves your device during this process.

2. Local Processing

All conversion operations use browser-native APIs like Canvas API for images and JavaScript libraries that run entirely in your browser. No data is transmitted to external servers.

3. Result Generation

The converted file is generated directly in your browser and downloaded to your device. Again, no server communication occurs during this step.

💡 Technical Details

OnlineConvert uses modern web technologies including Canvas API, FileReader API, Blob API, and Web Workers to perform all operations client-side. These are standard browser features that ensure your data stays on your device.

Best Practices for Users

Use Updated Browsers

Always use the latest version of your web browser to benefit from the newest security patches and features.

Verify HTTPS Connection

Before using our tools, always verify that you're on https://onlineconvert.co and that the padlock icon is displayed in your browser's address bar.

Beware of Phishing

Only access OnlineConvert through our official domain. Be cautious of similar-looking domains that may attempt to impersonate our service.

Private Browsing Mode

For maximum privacy when converting sensitive files, consider using your browser's private/incognito mode. This prevents the browser from caching any data.

• Clear your browser cache and cookies regularly
• Use a VPN for added privacy when on public networks
• Keep your operating system and antivirus software updated
• Never share converted files containing sensitive information over unsecured channels

Frequently Asked Questions

Can OnlineConvert see my files?

No. All file processing happens entirely in your browser. We have no technical capability to access, view, or store your files.

Are my files safe on public/shared computers?

While your files don't leave the device, converted files are downloaded to the computer. Always delete downloaded files and clear browser cache when using shared devices.

Do you use any third-party services?

We may use standard analytics and CDN services to improve performance, but these services never have access to your uploaded files or conversion data.

What happens if I close my browser during conversion?

The conversion process will stop, and all data in browser memory is cleared. No data persists after closing the tab or browser.
