PDF privacyLearn why hiding text visually is not the same as removing it securely.
Audio & videoCompare caption formats and the workflow checks that matter after transcription.
PrivacyUnderstand what a photo can store beyond the pixels you can see.
FilesUnderstand SHA-256, integrity checks and what a checksum cannot prove.
We are starting with reliable tools before adding the heavier ones.
These require extra decoders or machine-learning models; they are not in the current version.
Recognize scanned text locally with language auto-detect or manual language selection, replace detected lines visually and add searchable OCR text on export. More office document formats are planned.
Transcribe audio and video with Whisper AI on your device, then edit and export TXT, SRT or VTT subtitles.
Many everyday operations can be performed by the browser itself. NowConverter uses that capability for image, PDF, text, archive, audio and selected video workflows so the file you choose can be read and processed on your device rather than sent to a NowConverter conversion server. Some tools download code, WebAssembly components or AI model files when needed; those resources come to the browser so the work can happen locally.
Local processing has trade-offs. Your device supplies the memory and CPU, so very large PDFs, long videos or AI models can be slower on phones and can exceed browser limits. That is why each tool explains its practical limits instead of promising that every file will work. The original file stays yours, and we recommend keeping it until you have checked the output.
Five referenced handbooks explain the science, tradeoffs and safe workflows behind everyday files.
