The Ultimate Guide to PDF Privacy: Why Client-Side Matters

The Hidden Risk of Cloud Converters

The standard workflow for most online tools is simple but flawed:

1. You upload your file to their server.
2. They process it on their computers.
3. You download the result.

In step 1 and 2, you have lost control of your data. While many services claim to "delete files after 24 hours," you have no way to verify this. Logs, backups, and third-party analytics could all retain copies of your sensitive data indefinitely.

The Client-Side Revolution

Filemint is built on a different premise: Your Data, Your Device.

We use advanced web technologies like WebAssembly to bring desktop-class software directly into your browser. When you use our PDF Merger or Image to PDF Converter, the application code travels to you, but your files never travel to us.

Secure Tools for Every Task

Privacy doesn't mean sacrificing functionality. Our suite covers all essential document workflows:

1. Managing Contracts & Legal Docs

Need to combine a signed page with a main contract? Use our Secure PDF Merge tool. It reassembles document structures without ever seeing the contents.

2. Reducing File Size for Email

Legal systems and email servers often have strict size limits. Our Image Compressorcan shrink scanned document pages before you convert them back to PDF, ensuring you meet submission requirements without exposing client data.

3. Extracting Data

Need to copy text from a locked PDF? The PDF Text Extractorparses the internal structure of the file right in your browser tab to recover usable text.

Don't Trust, Verify

We believe security should be transparent. You can verify our "Client-Side Only" promise easily:

1. Open any tool, like UUID Generator.
2. Turn off your internet connection.
3. Use the tool. It works perfectly.

Try doing that with any other "free online converter."
