Privacy policy

Last updated: 9 November 2026

NexDev Tools is a set of 18 free file tools at tools.nexdevstudios.com, operated by NexDev Studios. This page explains what happens to a file you open, what happens to the text you type into the QR code generator, what we deliberately avoid collecting, and how to reach us with a privacy question.

The short version: twelve tools process everything inside your browser, six tools upload one file to our conversion server, and every server upload is deleted immediately after conversion and within 15 minutes at the latest.

Tools that never upload your file

These twelve tools read the file in your browser and write the result back to your browser. After the page and its scripts have loaded, your file is not sent to NexDev Tools, to NexDev Studios or to any third party. The QR code generator is included here because the text you enter is turned into a code on your device:

You can confirm this yourself: open the browser's developer tools, switch to the network panel, and convert a file with one of these tools. No request carries the file or the QR content.

Tools that upload a file to our server

Six conversions need an engine that cannot run reliably in every browser. These tools send one file over HTTPS to our conversion API at api.nexdevstudios.com:

An upload is used only to produce the result you asked for. Each request receives a random job identifier, and the file is stored under that identifier rather than under the name on your device. The uploaded file and the converted result are deleted immediately after the response is sent, and in all cases within 15 minutes. The finished file is returned directly to your browser; there is no permanent download link and no later copy to retrieve.

What we do not do

Cookies, analytics and advertising

A conversion does not need a cookie, and the client-side tools do not set one to hold your file. We may use basic analytics to understand which pages are visited and which errors occur; that information is aggregated and is not linked to a particular file. If advertising is enabled on the site, advertising cookies may also be used by us or by an advertising partner to measure or personalise ads.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time. The tools continue to work, because the conversion itself does not depend on cookies. Blocking advertising cookies does not affect a conversion.

Typography and third-party requests

Pages on this site load the Sora, Geist and Geist Mono typefaces from Google Fonts so the design matches nexdevstudios.com. That request sends your IP address and ordinary browser information to Google; it never includes a file, a converted result or QR code content. If you block Google Fonts, the site falls back to your device's system fonts and every tool still works.

How long information is kept

Server uploads and their results are kept only for the duration of the conversion: they are deleted after the response and within 15 minutes at the latest. Operational logs are kept only as long as needed to run the service, measure reliability and investigate abuse, and they do not contain your file or its name.

Your questions and choices

Because uploads are deleted quickly and jobs are identified only by a random identifier, we may not be able to find or return a specific file after a conversion has finished. If you have a question about a request, tell us the approximate time and the tool you used and we will explain what the service records.
