The converter runs in your web browser. The files you convert are not uploaded to us, and we cannot see them.
What happens to your files
When you choose a PDF, your browser opens and converts it on your own device. The converter does not upload the file, its contents, password or result. Scripts, fonts and PDF processing assets are served from this site; there are no third-party conversion APIs. Browser extensions, malware or other people using your device are outside this protection.
If a PDF has a password, the password is used only by your browser to open the file. It is never saved and never sent anywhere.
If the page reloads while you work
By default, the browser keeps your selected file and settings on your device so you can recover after a reload or language change. Recovery expires two hours after you select the file. You can turn saving off in the converter; doing so removes the saved copy, but keeps the current result on screen until you leave or clear it. If storage is blocked or full, we show a warning: recovery cannot be guaranteed.
Small files are stored in this tab's session storage. Larger files are encrypted with a random key and stored in IndexedDB; the key stays in the tab's session storage. Opening another tab does not erase an active tab's work. Expired encrypted records are removed when the site next runs; the site cannot run cleanup while your browser is closed.
“Clear file and result” and “Convert another file” remove this tab's stored copy and displayed result. Closing a tab is not a reliable deletion method: browsers can restore closed tabs and their session storage. Browser backups may also retain data. The same local storage carries a file selected on another page to the converter.
Recognition, corrections and saved projects
OCR runs on your device. Its engine and eight language packs come from this site; scans are not sent to a recognition service. With recovery enabled, batches, corrections and recognised text are kept locally for up to two hours. Batch files and recognised text use encrypted IndexedDB with a key in this tab. A downloaded .tidysheet project contains the original file, corrections and recognised text in readable form, even for a password-protected original. The PDF password itself is not saved. Keep projects private. Hiding numbers affects exports and printing only; it does not anonymise the original or project. We do not offer conversion by email.
What we store on your device
- Your language choice, in your browser's local storage.
- The file you are converting, only while you work, as described above.
We do not use cookies for advertising or tracking, and the site has no analytics or third-party scripts. Fonts and all other files are served from this site.
On a shared computer
Downloads and print-to-PDF copies are saved where you or your browser choose. We cannot see or delete them. On a shared computer, turn recovery off, clear the file and result when finished, and remove downloaded copies yourself. For confidential or NDA documents, follow your organisation's policies; local processing does not override them.
Server logs
Like any website, the hosting service that delivers these pages may record technical details of each request, such as IP address, time and the page requested, to keep the service secure and working. These records never contain your files.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will update the date at the top of this page.
