Questions and answers
Does browser processing mean no data leaves my device?
It can, when the tool is implemented locally in the browser. Still, always review the product behavior for the specific tool and file type.
When is upload processing worth it?
Upload processing is useful for very large files, team review, saved history, or operations that require server-side libraries.
What should I avoid with sensitive files?
Avoid sending private documents into tools when you do not understand where processing happens or how files are retained.
