Privacy by design

More formats, still no file uploads

HEIC, HEIF, TIFF, PSD, JPEG XL and APNG are processed locally. Audio, video and additional archives run through WebAssembly on your device.

OCR & documents

Text recognition for images and scanned PDFs, PDF or text to DOCX, plus readable exports from RTF and FB2.

Web fonts

Convert TTF, OTF, WOFF, WOFF2 and EOT locally for websites, apps and design workflows.

3D models

Convert triangle meshes between OBJ, STL, ASCII PLY, embedded glTF and GLB. The models stay entirely on your device.

The media engine and OCR language data are loaded only when needed. Your selected file is never transmitted.

Truly local

File contents are processed exclusively in your browser's memory.

Refreshingly simple

Choose a tool, add files, set the relevant options and download the result immediately.

Open to inspection

The source code is available for inspection. Commercial use requires the copyright holder's permission.

Built for modern browsers

Progressive Web APIs with clear fallbacks for Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari.

Privacy by design

Your files are yours. Full stop.

LocalFileLab has no upload endpoint and stores no file contents. Temporary results are discarded by the browser when the tab closes.

Frequently asked questions

Are my files really never uploaded?

Yes. Conversion, compression, PDF tools and OCR run on your device with JavaScript, WebAssembly and browser APIs.

Why is a format unavailable in my browser?

Some media formats depend on browser and operating-system codecs. LocalFileLab explains the limitation instead of quietly sending your file to a server.

Is there a file-size limit?

There is no upload limit. Very large files can still exceed your device's available memory.

For the best results, use a current browser version.
