Tips for Best Results
- Use Modern Browsers: For the best performance with our WebAssembly-based processing, ensure you are using an up-to-date version of Chrome, Firefox, or Edge. These browsers are optimized for local file processing, ensuring a smooth experience.
- Manage Batch Sizes: Remember that the free tier allows for up to 5 files per batch. If you have a large folder of documents, process them in smaller groups to maintain optimal browser performance.
- Verify File Integrity: Since all operations are 100% local, you can verify your encrypted files immediately after the process finishes. This local file processing approach eliminates the risk of data corruption during transit to a server.
