Open the network tab
In your browser, press F12 (or ⌥⌘I on a Mac) and choose Network. This panel lists every request the page makes.
What "upload nothing" means, exactly
Most online tools work like a post office: you hand over the file, a server somewhere does the work, and a copy comes back. Your file has now been on a machine you do not own, for a length of time you cannot check, under a retention policy you did not read. Morph works like a workshop: the tools come to your machine. The code that converts a video, removes a background, merges a PDF or masters a track is loaded into your browser, and it does the work right there, on your processor, in your memory.
So the file you drop is never sent. There is no "processing" queue on our side, no copy to delete afterwards, no account required to hold your things, and no bill for storage — because nothing is stored. When you close the tab, it is gone from everywhere except your own disk.

Look for your file on the wire
You will see the app's code and fonts load. You will not see your file. Not the upload, not the result. That is the whole page in one glance.
You can do this on any tool here, at any time, and you should. A privacy claim you cannot check is a promise; this one is a fact you can see.
Why this is the new way
Nothing to breach. A file that was never sent cannot leak from a server, cannot be subpoenaed from a server, cannot be trained on, cannot be sold. The strongest privacy policy is the one with nothing to protect.
Faster, not slower. There is no round trip. A background comes off a photo in the time it takes your machine to compute it, not the time it takes to send four megabytes somewhere and wait in line behind everyone else.
Free for what you make. Work that runs on your device costs us nothing per use, so it costs you nothing, with no cap and no trial. We only charge for what we actually run — that is the honest line, and it is the same line as the privacy line.
Made for the files that matter. Medical scans, contracts, a client's unreleased work, your kids' photos, a demo nobody has heard yet. These are exactly the files people hesitate to put in a web form. Here, the hesitation is unnecessary, because the form does not exist.
What runs on your device
Browsers became real computers. The pipelines behind professional software now run as WebAssembly and, where your machine has it, on the graphics processor through WebGPU. On Morph that means video encoding and decoding, image processing, PDF rendering and editing, audio synthesis and mastering, optical character recognition, and on-device models for background removal, captions and depth — all as code that runs in your tab. When a tool loads a model, it loads it to your machine once and keeps it there.
Where the line is
Some things cannot run on a laptop yet: generating a new image from a description, for example. When you choose one of those, the work runs on a server, it is labelled before you press the button, and it costs credits — one credit is one cent ($0.01). The same is true of the optional cloud sync in Morph Pro. Nothing is sent unless you choose the thing that needs sending, and you can always see which things those are. Everything else — which is nearly everything — stays here.
We also count visits with a privacy-respecting, self-hosted analytics tool that records pages and countries, not people, and never file contents. That is the complete list of what leaves your browser on a free tool: the page you are on, and where in the world you are.
Questions people ask
Can you see my files?
No. They are not sent to us, so there is nothing for us to see. This is not a policy we follow; it is how the software is built.
Then how does the tool work at all?
The tool is a program that your browser downloads and runs, the way it runs any web page. The difference is what the program does: instead of sending your file to a server to be processed, it processes the file on your machine and hands the result back to your browser to save.
What about the AI features?
Many of them run on your device too: background removal, captions, depth, upscaling. The ones that need more than a laptop — generating new images, for example — run on a server, are labelled as such, and cost credits. You always know which is which before you press anything.
Does it work offline?
Once a tool and the code it needs have loaded, the work itself does not need the network. We do not yet promise every tool works with the network fully off, because some load their heavier pieces on first use. What we do promise, and what you can check, is that your file is never one of the things sent.
Is it really free, then?
Yes, for everything that runs on your device, with no cap and no trial. Server work is paid in credits at one cent each ($0.01), and Morph Pro is $9.99 a month for 1,400 credits plus API access, sync and higher ceilings. Nothing that runs locally will ever move behind that.
Why do other tools send your file away?
Because their software runs on their servers, so the file has to go there. It also makes the file part of the product: something to store, to charge for, and sometimes to learn from. We think the file should stay yours, and the browser is finally powerful enough to make that the easy way, not the hard one.
Try it
Drop anything into any tool. Watch the network tab if you like. Then decide whether you ever want to hand a file to a stranger's server again.
