How DropToSolve keeps files private
Updated: October 9, 2026
Why browser-side tools avoid uploads, what stays on your device, and which DropToSolve tools process files locally.
Most “free online converters” ask you to upload a file to their servers, process it remotely, then let you download the result. That model is convenient for the provider — and it means a copy of your document briefly (or longer) lives on someone else’s machine.
DropToSolve takes the opposite approach for file tools: the work runs in your browser with web libraries. Your PDF or image is read locally, transformed locally, and saved locally. We do not need the file on our servers to merge pages, reorder sheets, run OCR, or compress a photo.
What stays local
PDF tools — merge, split/extract, rotate, delete pages, reorder pages, images ↔ PDF, JSON → PDF, and OCR on scanned PDFs — process the bytes you select in the page.
Image tools (compress, resize, rotate, convert JPG/PNG/WebP, HEIC → JPG) and OCR on photos work the same way. Generators (QR including Wi‑Fi, passwords, color picker), text utilities (word count, case, Base64, diff, UTM, JSON formatter), Focus (Pomodoro), and Relax games also run client-side. Nothing requires uploading your documents to DropToSolve.
OCR language packs
When you use OCR, the recognition engine and language data download into your browser (and are cached for later). That is still not the same as uploading your contract to our servers — the scan itself is read on your device.
What we still see (and don’t)
Like any website, basic hosting logs may include technical requests (page loads). That is not the same as receiving your document contents. Ads, if enabled later, may use cookies only after consent where required — see Privacy and Cookies.
