Security and privacy are built into Flipper File from the ground up. Our tools are designed so your files never leave your device, and nothing is uploaded, stored, or processed on our servers.
How Flipper File Handles Your Files
- All file processing happens entirely inside your browser
- Your files are never uploaded to a server
- No copies of your files are stored anywhere by Flipper File
- Once you close the page, everything is gone
When you use a Flipper File tool, your browser loads a small amount of JavaScript that performs the conversion locally. The file stays on your device the entire time.
No Servers, No Uploads
- No backend servers handling files
- No cloud processing
- No queues, transfers, or third-party storage
- No risk of interception during upload
Because there is no upload step, there is nothing for us to access, log, or retain. This also means Flipper File continues to work even if you’re offline after the page loads.
Data Collection
- We do not read the contents of your files
- We do not track filenames or file metadata
- We do not associate files with users or sessions
Any analytics we use (if enabled) are limited to basic page usage and never include file data or file-related information.
Why Browser-Only Tools Are Safer
- No file uploads means fewer attack surfaces
- No stored data means nothing to leak
- You stay in full control of your files
- Ideal for sensitive or private documents
This approach trades a little bit of convenience for a lot of peace of mind — and that’s a trade we’re happy to make.
Your Responsibility
- Keep your browser up to date
- Only use Flipper File on devices you trust
- Download results to a secure location
Flipper File does its part by never touching your files. You stay in control of everything else.
