About Us
The human story behind a bunch of completely free, entirely private browser tools.
1. The Problem
We were sick of paywalls, file size limits, and giving our personal documents to random websites.
Have you ever needed to compress a simple PDF, only to be hit with a "Please upgrade to Premium" popup? Or maybe you wanted to crop an image, but you didn't feel great about uploading your personal photos to a server you know nothing about.
We felt the exact same way. The internet is full of "free" file tools, but most of them come with strings attached: aggressive ads, hidden subscriptions, or worse—they secretly harvest your data to sell to third parties.
2. The Solution
We decided to build fileprocessor.net as a totally different kind of toolset. Our guiding philosophy is simple:
- Privacy First: Your files never leave your device. Ever.
- Zero Limits: No arbitrary file size caps or daily usage limits.
- No Nonsense: No watermarks, no mandatory account sign-ups, and no jumping through hoops.
We believe basic digital utilities should be accessible, safe, and genuinely free to use.
3. The Nerd Stuff
Modern web browsers are incredibly powerful. We just use that power instead of relying on expensive servers.
If we don't use servers to process your files, how does the site actually work? The secret sauce is WebAssembly (Wasm).
WebAssembly allows us to take heavy-duty, complex software (like video encoders or PDF processors) and run them directly inside your web browser. When you click "compress" or "convert," your own computer's CPU and memory are doing the heavy lifting. We basically turn your browser into a mini, self-contained processing factory.
4. Who Built This?
We aren't a massive tech conglomerate backed by millions of dollars in venture capital. fileprocessor.net is built and maintained by independent developers who actually use these tools every single day.
Because we don't have expensive server bills to pay for file processing, we can keep the site free. If you find the tools helpful and want to help us cover the basic domain and hosting costs, you can always buy us a coffee. But mostly, we just hope this saves you some time and headache.
