What Online Converters Do With Uploaded Files
Storage Duration
Most converters store files for 1-24 hours after conversion. Some keep files longer 'for troubleshooting purposes' or 'service improvement'.
Analytics
File metadata (size, type, conversion requested) is typically logged for analytics. Some services analyze content to improve their ML models.
Third-Party Sharing
Files stored on cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure) are technically accessible to the cloud provider under certain legal circumstances.
The Alternative
Browser-based tools process files in JavaScript. There is no upload, no storage, no analytics — your files exist only in browser memory during conversion.
