Your files never leave this tab.
Most "free online converters" upload your documents to their servers. FileMorf ships the conversion engine to your browser instead — your files are processed on your device, and you can watch the Network tab to prove it.
Prove it yourself

No trust required — your browser's own developer tools show every network request a page makes.
- 1

Watch what doesn't happen
For a tool marked as local, no request carries your file to FileMorf. Code and engine assets may still load from the network before the conversion runs in your tab.
Full transparency
Exactly which tools run where.
Server-backed categories are listed here and disclosed again at the relevant file input. New server workflows must be added to this shared registry.
100% in your browser
Files are not transmitted. Many tools work offline after required engine assets have loaded and remain cached.
Server-backed workflows
These workflows send the necessary input over TLS. Each linked page states its own processor, account requirement, provider, and retention behavior.

- AI audio cleanup, stem separation, and transcription
- Video compression, transcoding, and AI captions
- E-signature requests and signed records
- Retained workspace and document-intelligence workflows
Questions
How local processing works.
The technical story, in plain language.
Local conversion removes file-upload wait and can keep working on a flaky connection after required engine assets have loaded. Performance depends on the file, operation, device, browser, and cache state.
Modern browsers can process files with browser APIs, JavaScript libraries, and near-native WebAssembly engines. For tools marked as local, FileMorf sends the required code and engine assets to your browser, where the file is read, converted, and saved without being sent to FileMorf.
