Why Browser-Based Tools Are the Future of Privacy

Why Browser-Based Tools Are the Future of Privacy

Every time you upload a file to an online tool, you're trusting a stranger with your data. That PDF might contain your tax returns. That image might be a private photo. That audio file might be a confidential meeting recording.

The Upload Problem

Most online tools work the same way: you upload your file to their server, they process it, and send back the result. During that process, your file sits on someone else's computer. You have no idea what happens to it after that.

  • Is it stored? For how long?
  • Is it encrypted at rest?
  • Who has access to the server?
  • What happens during a data breach?
  • The Browser-First Solution

    Modern browsers are incredibly powerful. With Web APIs like Canvas, Web Workers, WebAssembly, and the File API, we can do virtually anything a server can — right on your device.

    Our tools process everything locally. Your files never leave your browser tab. When you close the tab, the data is gone. There's nothing to breach because we never had your data in the first place.

    How It Works

    1. You select a file from your device

    2. The browser reads it into memory (never uploaded)

    3. Our JavaScript/WebAssembly code processes it locally

    4. You download the result directly from your browser

    No servers. No uploads. No risk.

    The Tools

  • PDFForge — Merge, split, and compress PDFs using pdf-lib (pure JavaScript)
  • BG Be Gone — Remove backgrounds using on-device AI models
  • DiffSnap — Compare code with syntax highlighting, all client-side
  • AudioSnip — Trim and convert audio using ffmpeg.wasm
  • PixelSqueeze — Batch image compression with format conversion, all in-browser
  • Every one of these tools works offline once loaded. Try it — disconnect your WiFi after the page loads and the tool still works.

    Privacy by Architecture

    We don't just promise privacy — our architecture makes data collection impossible. There's no backend to log to, no database to store in, no API to intercept. It's privacy by design, not by policy.
