PandaFileKit

Privacy policy

The short version: your files are opened and processed by your own browser and are never sent to us. The rest of this page explains the details, including what optional analytics and ads can see.

Your files

When you choose a file, the browser gives this page read access to it. The tool processes it in the tab's memory and gives you the result as a download. PandaFileKit has no upload endpoint, so the file, its name, its contents and anything extracted from it (text, EXIF data, GPS coordinates, document properties) are not sent to our servers or to any conversion service.

We don't keep copies because we never receive them. When you close or reload the tab, the file and the result are cleared from the page. You can check this yourself in your browser's developer tools.

Code and model downloads

Some tools download extra code the first time you use them: OCR language data for Image to text, an AI model for Remove background, and decoders such as the HEIC converter. These are downloads to your browser from this site or a public content delivery network. They don't carry your files. Like any web request, they reveal your IP address and browser type to whoever serves them.

Analytics and advertising

The site can run Google Analytics and Google AdSense. They are only loaded when configured for this deployment. When they are, analytics receives page views, the name of the tool used and coarse buckets such as “file under 1 MB”. It never receives file names, contents or extracted data. Ads may use cookies to measure and personalise advertising.

Consent defaults are set before any Google tag runs. For visitors in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, analytics and advertising storage start as denied until you make a choice in Google's consent message.

Browser storage

The tools don't write your files, file names or extracted content to cookies, localStorage or IndexedDB. Where a tool remembers something between visits, such as editing presets in Photo Studio, it stores the settings only, never the files, and only in your browser. Your browser may also cache downloaded code and models, which you can clear at any time.

Your choices

  • Use the consent message, where shown, to accept or refuse analytics and advertising cookies.
  • Clear cookies and site data in your browser settings at any time.
  • Block third-party scripts with your browser or an extension. The tools keep working without them.
