About LocalForge
Free online tools that respect your privacy. Your files are processed entirely in your browser — nothing is ever uploaded to our servers.
Our Mission
We believe that useful tools shouldn't come at the cost of your privacy. Most online file converters and processors upload your files to their servers, potentially exposing sensitive data and creating security risks.
LocalForge takes a different approach. Every tool on our platform processes your files entirely within your web browser using modern technologies like WebAssembly, Web Workers, and the Canvas API. Your files never leave your device.
How It Works
Local Processing
When you upload a file, it's loaded directly into your browser's memory. All processing happens on your device using JavaScript and WebAssembly.
Zero Network Requests
During file processing, our tools make absolutely no network requests. You can verify this in your browser's developer tools.
Instant Download
Once processing is complete, download your file directly from your browser. Files are automatically cleaned up from memory after use.
Built with Modern Technology
We use cutting-edge browser technologies to deliver powerful file processing without compromising your privacy:
- •pdf-lib — Client-side PDF manipulation and compression
- •WebAssembly — Near-native performance for heavy processing
- •Web Workers — Background processing without freezing your browser
- •Canvas API — Image resizing and format conversion
- •ONNX Runtime — AI-powered background removal
Transparency
We believe in transparency. All our file processing happens in plain sight within your browser. You can inspect our code using your browser's developer tools and verify that no data is being transmitted during processing.
We don't use cookies for tracking, we don't collect analytics on your file contents, and we never sell your data — because we never have it in the first place.
