Security & Privacy

The Standard Cloud Problem

Most free online PDF and image tools operate by forcing you to upload your files to their servers. Once uploaded, their remote servers process the file, and you download the result. This introduces massive security risks:

• Who is looking at your files?
• Are they storing a copy of your files indefinitely?
• Are they using your documents to train AI models?
• What happens if their servers are hacked and your sensitive data is leaked?

The RunOnLocal Solution

We completely eliminated the server from the equation.

RunOnLocal operates entirely within the secure sandbox of your web browser. When you "upload" a file to one of our tools, it never actually leaves your computer. The processing engine (powered by cutting-edge WebAssembly) is downloaded to your browser when you visit the page, and all the heavy lifting is done right on your local CPU.

Platform Security & Encryption

Even though our tools process your files entirely locally, we still enforce maximum security for the delivery of our platform.

• 🔒 256-bit SSL / HTTPS Encryption: Our entire website is served over a secure, encrypted connection. This ensures that the web-app code downloaded to your browser is authentic, untampered with, and protected from man-in-the-middle attacks.
• No File Uploads: SSL secures the connection between you and our platform. Because our tools run locally in your browser, your files are never uploaded over this connection. SSL ensures the tools you download are safe, untampered with, and 100% private.

Our Privacy Guarantee

Because we process everything locally, we can offer guarantees that cloud-based competitors simply cannot:

• No File Data is Collected: We do not track, collect, or monitor the contents of the files you process.
• Immediate Deletion: Your files exist only in your browser's temporary memory. As soon as you close the tab or refresh the page, the data is completely wiped.
• Offline Capability: Since no server is required for processing, you can literally physically pull your LAN cable out after the first load. Our tools will continue to work seamlessly offline, for an unlimited number of times!
