## The Invisible Risk of Traditional Document Converters Many free online converters quietly store uploaded documents for days or weeks, creating unnecessary exposure risks. ### What Makes PDF Toolkit Different? - **1-Hour Hard Deletion**: All temporary files on conversion workers are automatically scheduled for permanent erasure within 60 minutes. - **Metadata Sanitization**: Invisible author tags, device serials, and GPS locations are stripped prior to download. - **TLS 1.3 Encryption**: All communication is encrypted with modern high-grade ciphers.
