About Fileoholic
Fileoholic exists for one moment: the file that won't open. The iPhone photo Windows shrugs at. The image you
saved from a website that your own Photos app rejects. The .jfif nobody asked for. One ecosystem
creates the file, every other device refuses it — and you just need it to work, now.
We build the tools that rescue those files. And because they're often personal photos and private documents, we build them differently: modern browsers can decode and convert files locally with JavaScript and WebAssembly, so nothing needs uploading to anyone's server. HEIC, AVIF, JFIF, Apple Numbers — each one an orphan format some ecosystem created that the rest of your devices refuse.
How it works
Every tool on Fileoholic runs entirely in your browser. When you drop a file into one of our converters, your browser reads it into memory, processes it, and gives it back. No part of the file ever travels to our server. We do not have a server that handles files. The site is a static collection of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript hosted on a global CDN.
You can verify this yourself. Open your browser's developer tools, switch to the Network tab, and watch what happens when you process a file. You will see no upload, no request carrying your file. The work happens locally.
What we don't do
- We do not have user accounts.
- We do not store your files.
- We do not send your files anywhere.
- We do not have a "premium tier" with file-size limits or watermarks.
- We do not require an email address to use anything.
How the site is supported
Fileoholic is supported by display ads (Google AdSense) and occasional affiliate links to paid software when our free browser-based tools cannot do what you need. Affiliate links are always disclosed and never change which tools we recommend.
