FileConverters

Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 25, 2026

This policy explains what data is and is not processed when you use FileConverters (fileconverters.ai), and which third-party services may be involved. FileConverters is designed to minimize data collection: the tools themselves run entirely in your browser, and the files you work with are never uploaded.

1. Your files are processed locally and never uploaded

Images you select or drop onto FileConverters tools are read, converted, and verified by JavaScript running on your own device. They are not transmitted to FileConverters' servers — the site is static and has no endpoint capable of receiving files — and the site's Content-Security-Policy (connect-src 'self') instructs your browser to block scripts from sending data to any other origin. Converted files and generated PDFs exist only in your browser's memory until you save them; closing the tab discards them. Filenames, image contents, and image metadata never reach us. Analytics events, where enabled (see section 4), never include file names, file contents, or conversion results.

2. Technical hosting data

FileConverters is hosted on Vercel. Like virtually all web hosting, serving pages involves processing technical request data such as your IP address, browser user-agent, and requested URLs, which may appear in short-lived infrastructure logs used for security, abuse prevention, and operations. This processing is performed by the hosting provider as part of delivering the site — it concerns page requests only, never your files, which are not transmitted. See Vercel's privacy policy for details of their practices.

3. Cookies and consent

The FileConverters site itself does not set cookies for the tools to work, and no advertising or analytics cookies are set unless and until those services are enabled and, where required, you have made an applicable consent choice. If advertising or analytics are activated in your region, a consent-management dialog will govern which optional technologies may run, and you will be able to revoke your choice at any time through the same mechanism.

4. Analytics data

FileConverters may use an analytics service (such as Google Analytics 4 or Vercel Web Analytics) to understand aggregate usage — for example, which tools are visited and whether errors occur. Where analytics are active, they are limited to coarse interaction events (such as "a conversion completed" or "a verification error was shown") and never include your files, their names, their contents, or their metadata. Analytics identifiers and cookies, where used, are subject to the consent choices described in section 3.

5. Advertising data

FileConverters may display advertising provided by Google AdSense to fund free tools. When ads are active, Google and its partners may process technical data (such as IP address and page context) and, depending on your consent choices, may use cookies or similar technologies to select and measure ads. Ad requests never contain your files or anything derived from them — ads are selected from page context, not file content, which never leaves your device. Where consent rules apply, personalized advertising runs only after an applicable consent choice; non-personalized options are used otherwise. For details, see Google's advertising policies and Google's privacy policy. Ad blockers do not affect the functioning of FileConverters tools.

6. Third-party services

Depending on configuration, the following categories of third parties may be involved:

  • Vercel — hosting and content delivery (always).
  • Google AdSense — advertising (only when enabled).
  • Analytics provider — aggregate usage measurement (only when enabled).
  • Consent-management platform — records consent choices (only when advertising/analytics requiring consent are enabled).

FileConverters does not sell personal information and does not operate accounts, profiles, or user databases.

7. Data retention

FileConverters itself retains no user files and no conversion data — there is nothing to retain, because your files never reach our servers. Technical logs held by the hosting provider, and any analytics or advertising data held by the providers above, are retained according to those providers' published retention policies. Consent choices are stored in your browser and/or by the consent-management platform for the period required to honor them.

8. Your rights and contact

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of personal data, and to withdraw consent. Because FileConverters holds no user-entered data or files, most such requests will concern the third-party services listed above; we will point you to the correct controller and assist where we can. To exercise rights or ask questions about this policy, use the details on the contact page.

9. Changes to this policy

This policy will be updated as services are enabled or changed — for example, when advertising, analytics, or consent management goes live. The date at the top reflects the latest revision.
