Most online converters upload your files to a server. For contracts, medical records, or internal docs, that's a real privacy risk.

The client-side approach

MarkdownForge runs every parser β€” Mammoth, SheetJS, PapaParse, pdf.js β€” directly in your browser using WebAssembly and Web Workers. Nothing is transmitted, nothing is stored.

The only optional network request is the URL-to-Markdown feature, which fetches the page you request through a stateless CORS proxy that keeps no logs.
