What it checks and discloses

Files are converted inside your browser and never uploaded. The open-source libraries that do the work (Mediabunny, LAME, libheif, PDF.js, pdf-lib, qpdf, SheetJS and more) are all named on its About page.

If a compressed PDF isn’t smaller, you get your original back

Rules and sources

Changing video formats
Video and audio the new format can hold as they are get copied over without re-encoding, so quality stays the same. For MP4 or MOV, VP9 or AV1 video becomes H.264 (or HEVC) and Opus or Vorbis audio becomes AAC, so the file plays on iPhone and Mac.Mediabunny (with the browser’s WebCodecs)
MP3 quality
MP3s are made with LAME 3.100 at 128, 192 or 320 kbps. From a video the default is 192 kbps, and an audio file under 150 kbps starts at 128 kbps.The LAME Project
HEIC photos
Safari decodes HEIC itself, and in Chrome, Edge and Firefox the page uses its own copy of libheif. The capture date and GPS location are not copied to the new file.libheif-js (libheif)
PDF compression
Only photos and scans are re-saved as JPEG (default ‘Balanced’: about 1600 pixels on the long side, quality 70), and the file structure is packed more tightly.qpdf documentation: Running qpdf (object streams and stream compression) · Checked Oct 6, 2026
PDF passwords
Files are locked with AES-256, the strongest PDF encryption. ‘Also block printing and copying’ depends on the viewer honoring it, so it is the open password that keeps the content private.qpdf documentation: PDF encryption (user and owner passwords, security restrictions) · Checked Oct 6, 2026
CSV for Excel
Excel reads a CSV as UTF-8 only when it starts with a byte order mark, so ‘Excel-friendly (UTF-8 with BOM)’ is on from the start.Microsoft Support: Opening CSV UTF-8 files correctly in Excel · Checked Oct 6, 2026

The practical limit is your device’s memory, so very large videos can fail on phones, and Word or PowerPoint to PDF and OCR aren’t available yet.

  8. Turn a PDF into Markdown before giving it to an AI

Added PDF to Markdown for AI tools, then fixed how it reads two-column papers

  1. PDF to Markdown no longer turns the first page of a two-column paper into a table, among other fixes.

  2. Added PDF to Markdown, which turns a PDF into text to give to an AI, along with a guide.

  3. After the first conversion a split-flap board flips to the new format, and compressed files show a shrinking bar.

  4. Added 7 PDF tools: compress, delete and reorder pages, rotate, page numbers, watermark, protect and unlock.

  5. Fixed portrait photos lying sideways in PDFs and WebM-to-MP4 files that kept VP9 video.

  6. Inplace launched in English and Korean.
