Questions, answered.

Do my files leave my device?

Processing adapters run in your browser. Fonts and code are served from this site. A peer transfer is a separate, explicit transmission; this tool never sends your content to an AI service.

Can I use it offline?

This build needs its code assets to load. Verified, installable offline packs are a launch requirement and are still in development.

What if a file fails?

The workspace displays a specific error. Try a smaller synthetic example or a supported format. Keep your originals and review exported files before relying on them.
