How it works
Three steps, and none of them is an upload
The whole operation happens inside the browser tab you already have open.
Drop your file in
Or click to browse. Nothing is uploaded — the file is opened by your browser, on your device, the same way a photo viewer opens it.
Choose what you want
Quality, format, dimensions, page range. Every option says what it does and what it costs, so you are not guessing at a slider.
Get it back, here
The result appears on the same page with its before and after size, and downloads straight to your device. There is no second page to visit.
Why in-browser matters
The difference is structural, not a promise
Every one of these follows from where the work happens. None of them is a policy we could change.
Nothing is uploaded
Every tool runs on your device using WebAssembly. Open your browser's network tab while you work — there are no requests. Your files cannot leak from a server we do not have.
No limits, and no catch
No account, no watermark, no daily cap and no file-size ceiling beyond what your own device can hold. Other tools cap the free tier because your files cost them bandwidth. They cost us nothing.
No upload wait
A 50 MB PDF starts processing immediately instead of after a two-minute upload. On a slow connection this is the difference between seconds and minutes.

Before you trust it
Questions people ask first
Is FileCrisp really free?
Yes — no account, no quota, no watermark and no file-size cap. Every tool runs on your own device, so there is no server bandwidth to pay for and nothing to recover through a paid tier.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Each tool processes the file inside your browser tab using WebAssembly, and the result is written straight back to your device. You can verify it yourself: open the browser's Network tab and watch while a file is processed.
What's the catch?
There isn't a hidden one, but there is a real trade-off. Because the work happens on your device, very large files are limited by your own memory rather than by our policy — a phone will struggle with a document a laptop handles easily.
How does FileCrisp make money?
It does not yet. The plan is advertising on the explanatory content below the tools, never inside the workspace itself. There is no paid tier and no upsell, and because the free version costs almost nothing to run there is no reason to make it worse.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Everything runs in a normal browser tab on any operating system, including phones and tablets. There is no extension, no desktop app and no sign-up.
Does it work offline?
Yes, after your first visit. The page and its codec are kept on your device, so returning to a tool you have used before works with no connection at all — on a plane, or on a train with no signal. The very first visit needs one, to fetch them.
Which browsers are supported?
Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari, on desktop and mobile. The tools rely on WebAssembly, which every one of those has supported for years.
Is it safe to use for confidential documents?
It is the case this site is built for. Contracts, statements and identity documents never leave your device, so there is no retention policy to take on trust and no server that could be breached with your file on it.
