Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 17, 2026
Overview
DocxConvert ("we," "us," or "our") operates docxconvert.com (the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information when you use our Service. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring your documents remain secure. By using DocxConvert, you agree to this policy.
File Processing & Data Safety
DocxConvert offers two categories of tools with different processing models:
Browser-Based Tools (100% Private)
Three tools — Image Compressor, Image to PDF, and PDF Compressor— run entirely within your web browser using client-side JavaScript. Your files are processed directly on your device using your computer's own memory and processing power. These files are never transmitted to our servers or any third-party service. Your data never leaves your device.
Server-Processed Tools (Secure, No Retention)
Two tools — DOCX to PDF and PDF to DOCX — send your file to our secure conversion server over an encrypted HTTPS connection. The file is processed in-memory by a professional document conversion service and the result is immediately returned to your browser. The uploaded file is not stored, cached, logged, or retained in any form after conversion completes. No copies of your document are kept on our servers or accessible to our team. The conversion is handled by ConvertAPI, a SOC 2-compliant document processing provider.
We recommend using browser-based tools for highly sensitive documents where maximum privacy is required. Server-processed tools are appropriate for standard business documents and provide higher formatting fidelity.
