Why this tool needs a server (and how we handle it)
- This tool needs a binary that doesn't run in browsers (Ghostscript, qpdf, LibreOffice, or Tesseract).
- Your file is processed in an isolated tmpdir per request, on our EU-region server.
- We delete the tmpdir immediately after the response is sent. A nightly sweep catches anything orphaned by crashes.
- No logging of file contents. No human review. Never used for AI training.
- Encrypted in transit (TLS), HSTS preload + strict CSP enforced.
