## Security and Privacy Benefits

This project emphasizes user data protection through complete client-side processing:

* **No server interaction:** All image conversions occur within the browser using native JavaScript APIs. Files never leave the user’s device.
* **Secure File Handling:** Temporary object URLs are created and revoked during each conversion, minimizing memory leaks and ensuring session-level privacy.
* **No dependencies or trackers:** The app uses pure HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with no third-party libraries, protecting users from potential data collection or external network requests.
* **Ephemeral Data Lifecycle:** Uploaded files, preview images, and converted outputs are discarded immediately after the user resets or closes the page.

These measures collectively guarantee **zero data transmission**, **no cloud storage**, and **full control over user content**.
