Hello Product Hunt!

We're absolutely thrilled to launch Fylent today—a privacy-first file tools platform that puts YOU back in control of your files. We're so grateful to be here and can't wait to hear what you think!

Why did we build Fylent?

Your files shouldn't be someone else's business.

We built Fylent because we were tired of the status quo in online file tools. You know the drill: you need to convert a PDF or format some text, so you upload it to a "free" website. But what happens next? Your document sits on their servers. Maybe it gets deleted. Maybe it doesn't. Maybe it gets analyzed. Maybe it gets sold. You just don't know.

Add to that the endless paywalls ("upgrade for files larger than 5MB!"), forced account creation ("sign up to download!"), intrusive ads, and agonizingly slow upload times—it became clear that existing solutions weren't built for users. They were built to extract maximum value FROM users.

We thought: there has to be a better way.

The breaking point came when a friend refused to use online converters for work documents because they contained sensitive client information. They were stuck installing bloated desktop software for a task that should take seconds. That's when we realized: what if files never had to leave your device at all?

We designed Fylent to make file handling effortless, instant, and genuinely private—the way it should have been from the start.

How does it work?

Everything happens in your browser using WebAssembly — zero uploads, zero compromises.

100% Client-Side Processing | Your files never touch our servers—literally impossible for us to access them

Instant Results | No upload wait times. Processing starts immediately and completes in seconds

Genuinely Free | No file size limits, no paywalls, no premium tiers. All features, forever free

No Accounts Required | Just visit, convert, and go. No sign-ups, no emails, no spam

Privacy by Design | No tracking, no analytics, no fingerprinting. Your activity is yours alone

Multi-Language | Available in English, French, German, and Spanish

13 Essential Tools | Everything you need for PDFs, images, text, and developer workflows

What makes us different?

Unlike traditional converters, we use WebAssembly (WASM) to run professional-grade conversion libraries directly in your browser. This means:

Same quality as desktop software

Faster than upload-based services (no network latency!)

More secure than anything involving servers

Works in 4 languages from day one (EN, FR, DE, ES)

We're proving that you don't have to sacrifice privacy for convenience. You can have both.
