How browser-local file processing works
Understand what On-device means, what still uses the network and when memory is released.
Selecting a file
The browser grants the page access to the file you explicitly choose. ForgeMyFile tools marked On-device read that input through browser APIs.
Processing in memory
JavaScript, Web Workers and built-in browser capabilities perform the requested transformation on the device. Practical limits depend on CPU and available memory.
Website network requests
HTML, CSS, JavaScript, fonts, consent services and future advertising can use the network. That is separate from sending selected tool input to a processing server.
Ending the session
Generated object URLs and active file references are temporary. Save results before reloading or closing the tab.
