Do my files leave my device?

No. File conversion and editing happen locally in your browser. Paperlane does not upload your document contents to a conversion server. The hosting provider still receives standard website requests.

Can I use Paperlane on my phone?

Yes. The tools work in modern mobile and desktop browsers. Smaller files are recommended on phones because processing uses your device’s memory.
