In the software world, most PDF processing services require you to upload the document to their cloud, which they then process on their servers and return the results to you. This is fast, but has one huge flaw: Security.
Risks of uploading files to the Server
- Confidential files (such as contracts, invoices, medical records) are at risk of being exposed if that server is compromised.
- You cannot control whether that company deletes your documents or not.
- Complying with GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) will be cumbersome.
Solution: Client-Side handling
At FileMDF, we go against the traditional way. Powerful processing algorithms are packaged and loaded straight into your browser (via WebAssembly, PDF.js, and the latest technologies).
- Privacy: Not a single byte of data from the PDF file or image is transmitted. Everything happens right in your computer's RAM.
- Speed: Because it skips the time-consuming Upload and Download steps, the application process only takes place in a flash (depending on the device's CPU system).
- Offline: Once the website has loaded for the first time, it can remain active during intermittent periods.
Hopefully this philosophy will provide maximum peace of mind for you to handle your work!
