Forge Files
Forge Files is a free, open-source, all-in-one web file toolbox. Upload a file, process it in seconds, and download the result — no signup, no watermarks, no software installation.
Live App: https://forgefiles.org
Privacy by design — and verifiable. Your upload is deleted as soon as processing finishes, the result is deleted the moment you download it, and a background sweeper purges anything older than an hour. Unlike closed-source tools that just claim they don't keep your files, every line of code that handles your documents is in this repository. Don't trust us? Read the code — or self-host it.
