Privacy by architecture

Your files never leave your device.

FileGizmo performs file transformations in your browser. We do not receive, store, inspect, or intentionally transmit the contents of files you open in a tool.

Local file processing

When you choose a file, code running on your device reads it and creates the result. There is no FileGizmo account, upload queue, processing server, or cloud file history. Downloads are created as temporary browser URLs.

Refreshing or closing the page clears the tool’s working state. Your browser or operating system may retain a downloaded result according to settings you control.

Website data

FileGizmo stores the selected light or dark theme in your browser’s local storage. Some tools may use local browser storage for explicit convenience features such as recently used tools. This information stays on your device unless a feature clearly says otherwise.

FileGizmo has no user accounts and does not sell personal information. It does not use advertising trackers or cross-site behavioral profiles.

Aggregate traffic measurement

FileGizmo may use Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand aggregate page traffic and performance. It is intended to operate without advertising cookies or cross-site tracking. Analytics do not receive the contents of files processed by a tool.

Network and hosting data

Like any website, the hosting network may process ordinary request information needed to deliver a page, such as an IP address, requested URL, browser details, timestamp, and security signals. This is separate from tool processing: your selected file is not included in those page requests.

Third-party links

Links to documentation, research, or GitHub take you to services with their own privacy practices. FileGizmo does not control data you choose to provide on those sites.

How to verify the claim

Open your browser’s developer tools, select the Network panel, clear the list, and process a harmless test file. The tool may load code from FileGizmo’s own origin after your interaction, but it does not post the contents to a FileGizmo conversion endpoint.

Requests made while processing: 0The file stays in the browser. This is a technical property of the product, not a promise to delete a server copy later.
