Skip the paywall, the installer, and the verification loop
A lot of “free” converters still demand an account, watermark page one, or push a Windows installer for a two-file job. This spoke is the bypass: open the page, drag files, download. No registration. No suite. The privacy story is the same as the hub — bytes never leave the machine to become our problem to store. Guest laptops and locked school images are the reason this page exists. You should not leave an account on a kiosk. You should not install an .exe you cannot remove. A Chromebook with Chrome is enough. If you needed folder-scale inspection dumps, use the multiple-files spoke and a laptop. If you needed print-shop rules, use that spoke after you have a PDF. This page only answers: can I do it now, for free, without signing up? For everyday eligible jobs, yes.
