How your files stay private

Every conversion on this site happens inside your browser. Your files are never sent to a server, because there is no server to send them to.

What actually happens to a file

When you choose a file, the browser hands SoloStep a reference to it in memory. The conversion code — JavaScript and WebAssembly running on your own device — decodes it, does the work, and produces a new file, also in memory. The download link points at that in-memory result. At no point does any part of the file travel over the network.

You do not have to take our word for it. Open your browser devtools, switch to the Network tab, and run a conversion. You will see the page and its code load, and then nothing further.

What we do not collect

• No file contents, ever.
• No filenames, image dimensions, EXIF data or document text.
• No accounts, email addresses or passwords — there is nothing to sign up for.
• No advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

What happens when you close the tab

The working session is gone. Files, converted results and any password you typed for a protected PDF live only in the tab's memory, and the browser discards them when it closes. Nothing is written to a server, and nothing is recoverable afterwards — so download your results before you leave.

Analytics

If and when analytics are added, they will record only product behaviour — that a conversion started, succeeded or failed, and why. Never filenames, never file contents, never anything that could identify a source file. This page will be updated before any such change goes live.
