Filecree File Converter

This page explains what the Filecree File Converter Chrome extension processes, what data reaches the Filecree backend, and what the extension does not collect.

Last updated: March 15, 2026

What the extension does

The extension provides a popup interface for selecting files and requesting format conversions through the Filecree service at filecree.com.

Data processed to provide the service

  • Files you choose in the extension are uploaded to the Filecree backend for conversion.
  • Selected conversion settings, such as source and target file format, are sent with the request.
  • Converted output files are stored on the Filecree backend and made available through a tokenized download page.
  • Basic job metadata is stored by the backend, including the conversion route, number of generated artifacts, filenames, file sizes, and creation timestamps.

What the extension does not collect

  • The extension does not request Chrome permissions for cookies, browsing history, tabs access, or storage.
  • The extension does not use analytics, advertising SDKs, or telemetry libraries.
  • The extension does not read content from websites you visit.

Local browser handling

Files remain in the extension popup only for the current session while you prepare a conversion request. The current implementation does not use Chrome sync storage or local extension storage to keep a persistent file history.

Server-side retention

Uploaded files are processed by the Filecree backend and converted artifacts are written to server storage so they can be downloaded from the generated link. The backend also stores download-job records in its database. This implementation does not currently advertise automatic deletion windows, so do not use the service for files you are unwilling to upload to the backend.

Security and sharing

Download links are token-based rather than public indexes, but anyone with the link can access the generated download page. No statement on this page should be read as a promise of end-to-end encryption or zero-retention processing.
