Privacy & Security: 100% Local Processing (No Upload, No Account)

How Orqui keeps your files private: everything runs inside your browser. Nothing is uploaded. Free, no subscription, no registration.

Privacy & Security: 100% Local Processing (No Upload, No Account)

1. Quick summary

  • No uploads: Your files never leave the device.
  • In‑browser processing: Canvas, Web APIs & JS libraries run locally.
  • No account / subscription: Fully usable instantly.
  • Ephemeral: Data lives in memory only until you close or refresh.

2. Local processing architecture

When you drop or select a file, we create a Blob/ObjectURL, decode it into an <img> or read bytes, then transform using Canvas or pure JavaScript (for PDF, DOCX, WebP, etc.). All heavy work occurs inside the same browser tab. Conversions (e.g. JPEG→WebP, PNG→PDF) use client‑side libraries loaded on demand from a CDN; those libraries execute locally.

3. What we do NOT collect

  • No file contents, names or hashes.
  • No user accounts, emails or identifiers.
  • No persistent tracking cookies (only minimal functional storage if ever needed).
  • No monetization walls: the service is free.

4. Browser security & lifecycle

After a conversion we provide a download link generated with URL.createObjectURL. We revoke temporary URLs when possible. Closing the tab clears all in‑memory references. Because nothing is sent to a server, leakage risk shifts to your local environment (e.g. shared computer).

5. Edge cases (network activity)

  • Analytics: Lightweight page & action counts (aggregate—no file data).
  • CDN scripts: Libraries like jsPDF, JSZip, pdf.js or mammoth are fetched; your file bytes are never transmitted to those CDNs.
  • Counter endpoint: A POST may increment a global usage number; it only receives an IP for simple rate limiting, not file content.
  • Browser caching: Improves speed; no user profiling.

6. Good practices for extra safety

  • Work offline (after first library load) by disabling network—conversions still run.
  • Clear the list / refresh after sensitive tasks.
  • Avoid using public computers for confidential material.

7. FAQ

  • Do you ever upload my files?
    No. All decoding, re-encoding, conversion or PDF/text extraction happens inside your browser memory.
  • Why do I see network requests?
    For lightweight analytics, loading open‑source libraries from a CDN, or fetching a counter endpoint. Your file bytes are never sent.
  • Is it really free?
    Yes. No subscription, no paywall, no account system. Some CDN requests are cached by the browser.
  • Can you recover my files?
    No. We never receive them, so we cannot access, recover or leak them.
