Hey Everyone! 👋 As someone who frequently needed quick file conversions, edits, or utility tools, I always hated uploading sensitive documents, images, or archives to random websites just to compress or convert them. That’s why I built [BrowserDone](https://browserdone.com) — a web utility suite designed to process your files (images, videos, audio, PDFs, archives, and more) locally in your browser without uploading them to a remote server. Here is a quick breakdown of how privacy works on the platform, why I designed it this way, and whether it's actually practical: 🔒 How Privacy & Local Processing Work * Client-Side First: Supported tools process your files directly on your device using modern web technologies. Your files never leave your machine for these operations. * No File Collection: We don't intentionally collect, read, or store the contents of the files you process. * Minimal Infrastructure Logs: Like any web service, our hosting/infrastructure providers handle basic technical logs (IP, timestamps, device info) solely for security, abuse prevention, and delivering web requests. * Accounts & Authentication: If you choose to create an account (using Supabase or external providers like Google/GitHub), we only store basic account info (email, display name) strictly for account features. No tracking or ad cookies are used. ⚡ Is Local Processing Actually Practical? * Blazing Fast (No Upload/Download Wait): Most existing online tools force you to upload a file (like a massive 4GB video) all the way to their remote server, wait ages for it to upload, process it there, and then download it back. With BrowserDone, your files never leave your device, saving you massive amounts of time and bandwidth. * Privacy by Design: You have complete peace of mind knowing your personal, financial, or confidential files stay entirely on your local device. * Limitations: Extremely massive files or heavy computations might lean heavily on the user's CPU/RAM, but for 95% of everyday web utility tasks, it hits the sweet spot between convenience and privacy. I’d love for you to check it out, test the tools, and let me know what you think or if you encounter any bugs! 🔗 Website: https://browserdone.com 📄 Privacy Policy: https://browserdone.com/privacy (Feedback is welcome!)   submitted by   /u/yahyazuher [link]   [comments]
