FileMint operates entirely in your web browser using client-side processing. This means all file conversions, manipulations, and processing happen locally on your device. We do not upload, transmit, store, or have any access to your files at any point. Your privacy is our top priority.

All processing occurs in your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly
No file uploads to external servers
No cloud storage or file retention
No access to your file contents by third parties
Your documents remain completely private and secure
