1. How file conversion works on this site
Quikbench's image, audio, PDF, and Word conversion tools run entirely inside your web browser. When you select or drop a file into a tool, it is read and processed locally on your device using your browser's built-in capabilities (such as Canvas and the Web Audio API) and small JavaScript libraries that run on your device to build PDF, DOCX, and ZIP files, and to read text out of Word and PDF documents. At no point is your file transmitted to, stored on, or processed by any server we operate. We have no access to the files you convert, and we do not retain any copy of them.
2. Information we may collect
Like most websites, we may use standard web analytics or advertising services (such as Google AdSense) which can collect limited technical information automatically, such as:
- Browser type and version
- General device/operating system information
- Approximate location (derived from IP address, not precise location)
- Pages visited and time spent on the site
This information is used in aggregate to understand site usage and is not linked to the actual files you convert, since those files never reach our servers in the first place.
3. Cookies and advertising
We may use cookies for analytics and to serve advertising through third-party providers such as Google AdSense. These providers may use cookies to serve ads based on a visitor's prior visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings, or by using your browser's cookie controls.
4. Third-party services
This site loads small JavaScript libraries from a third-party content delivery network to power certain tools in your browser: lamejs (MP3 encoding), pdf-lib (building PDF files), JSZip (bundling multiple downloads into a single .zip file and assembling .docx files), mammoth.js (reading text out of .docx files), and pdf.js (reading text out of PDF files). Loading these resources may expose your IP address to that network in the same way loading any external script or image would. No file content is sent through any of these libraries — they all run locally in your browser to perform their respective tasks.
5. Children's privacy
This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
6. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
