We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our website. AdSense serves contextual ads based on page content and may use cookies to personalize ads based on your browsing history across websites that participate in Google's advertising network.

Advertisements are placed strategically throughout our website to support our operations while minimizing disruption to your experience. You'll find ads:
- •Between tool sections on tool pages
- •Within blog articles (between content sections)
- •In sidebars and footer areas

Advertising revenue helps us:
- •Keep all tools completely free with no usage limits
- •Cover hosting and infrastructure costs
- •Develop new tools and features
- •Create helpful content and tutorials
- •Maintain and improve existing tools
Privacy & Your Data
Your Files Remain Private
Important: While we display ads, your files are never uploaded to our servers or shared with advertisers. All file processing happens locally in your browser. Advertisers never have access to your files, file names, or processing activities.

Google AdSense may use cookies and similar technologies to:
- •Serve relevant ads based on your interests

Third-Party Advertisers
Google AdSense may serve ads from third-party advertisers. These advertisers may also use cookies and tracking technologies subject to their own privacy policies. We do not control third-party cookies or tracking.
Editorial Independence
Our content is not influenced by advertising. We maintain strict editorial independence. Advertisers do not:
- •Influence our tool development decisions
- •Control or review our editorial content
- •Affect our recommendations or technical guidance
- •Have access to user data or files
We create tools and content based solely on user needs and technical merit, not advertiser interests.
