Local processing, explained plainly

What this is

FreshSky Local File Tools provides focused PDF, image, OCR, metadata, redaction, and comparison tools with free individual tools and ordinary exports, without sign-in or automatic overage charges.

How it works

Your browser opens the file in its own memory and performs the requested operation on your device. An optional access-check button contacts FreshSky to check subscription benefits; it does not send the contents, filename, extracted text, fingerprint, preview, or result back to FreshSky.

What “offline-ready” means

After the application shell and processing assets have loaded, a service worker can reuse those assets from your browser cache. You can disconnect before selecting a sensitive file. OCR language packs must finish loading once before that language works offline.

Honest limits

Browser processing uses your device’s memory. Large or damaged files may fail. Rasterized compression and permanent redaction intentionally remove selectable text, links, forms, layers, and accessibility tags. Always keep the original and review important output before sharing it.
