Local vs Online Conversion: Privacy Considerations

2025-09-01 • 3 min read

When the online tool is enough

The web converter runs in your browser and doesn’t upload your files. This is perfect for everyday conversions where convenience matters.

When to choose the local desktop app

For legal, compliance, and confidential archives, the local app ensures files never touch the network. It’s also better for bulk processing.

A simple decision rule

  • Convenience & light usage: Use the free online tool.
  • Privacy & volume: Use the local desktop app.
