DoxWave is powered by the CloudConvert SDK, an industry-leading conversion API that supports over 200 formats. CloudConvert handles the heavy lifting of file conversion with enterprise-grade quality and speed. We chose CloudConvert because of their excellent track record for accuracy, security, and privacy.

Most common PDF files can be processed without issues. Very large files (over 1GB) may take longer to process or could hit our conversion service limits. For typical documents, you won't encounter any problems.

They're not stored at all! Your files are processed securely through CloudConvert and immediately deleted after conversion. We don't keep any copies of your files—ever. The conversion happens in real-time, and once the converted file is downloaded to your computer, all traces are removed from the conversion server.

Yes! DoxWave is built on Chromium, the same open-source engine that powers Chrome, Edge, and many other browsers. This means you get excellent performance, compatibility with modern web standards, and a familiar browsing experience—plus all the PDF tools we've added on top.
