For teams
Convert files your IT policy won't touch.
Compress PDFs, merge documents, run OCR — entirely inside your browser. Nothing reaches our servers. No upload logs. No BAA required.
Why most converters are a liability for sensitive documents
✕ Files uploaded to unknown servers
Most browser tools send your files to a cloud server for processing. You have no visibility into retention policies, storage regions, or who has access.
✕ Upload logs exist
Even "auto-delete in 1 hour" services create a record. That log can be subpoenaed, breached, or retained longer than advertised.
✕ BAA requirements for HIPAA-adjacent workflows
If your vendor touches patient-adjacent data, your legal team needs a BAA. Procurement cycles kill productivity.
✕ No audit trail on your end
When you upload to a third-party service, you lose control. You can't prove the document wasn't retained, modified, or accessed.
How ConvertYard is different
WebAssembly runs the conversion library inside your browser — on your CPU, in your tab.
When you convert a PDF on ConvertYard, the browser downloads a WebAssembly module (a compiled version of the same C++ library used in desktop apps like Adobe Acrobat). That module runs locally. Your file bytes never leave the browser process. Our server sees one static file request — no different from loading a page image.
Open your browser's DevTools → Network tab while converting. You'll see the WASM modules load once, then nothing — no outbound requests during conversion, no upload, no download from your documents.
Read the full technical explanation →- ✓No file data in server logs — our access logs contain only page URLs, not file content
- ✓No retention risk — we have nothing to retain
- ✓No BAA required — we are not a Business Associate under HIPAA because we never receive PHI
- ✓Works on air-gapped networks after first page load
- ✓Open source WASM libraries — auditable by your security team

Frequently asked questions
No. All processing runs inside the browser via WebAssembly — the same C++ libraries used in desktop software, running locally on your CPU. No file data, filenames, or metadata ever reaches our servers.
No BAA is required because we never receive, store, or process any of your files. There is nothing on our end to regulate. The conversion happens entirely within your browser.
No. Because we never see your files, there's no log of file names, contents, or when conversions happened. Your Google Analytics-based usage metrics (number of page visits) are the only data collected.
Yes. ConvertYard is a standard website — no special ports, no agent to install. Once the page loads, all processing happens offline in your browser. You can even block outbound traffic after load.
Yes, after your first visit. The WebAssembly modules are cached by your browser. After that, tools work entirely offline — useful when working with documents you can't transmit over public networks.
No. ConvertYard is free. There are no accounts, no seats, no licenses. Open a tool, use it, close the tab. We're supported by minimal display ads shown below tools.
Yes. Every tool accepts batch input — tested to 1,000+ files on a modern laptop. Large batches are packaged into a single ZIP for download.
