Privacy Policy
Drop2MD converts documents and pasted text to Markdown on your device. This policy covers the website at drop2md.com and the Drop2MD Chrome extension. Last updated: 9 August 2026.
Open the converterSingle purpose
Drop2MD’s only purpose is to convert documents and clipboard content into Markdown locally. We do not provide a public convert upload API, and we do not sell your files or Markdown.
What we do not collect
- Your document bytes are not uploaded to Drop2MD servers for conversion (website or Chrome extension).
- We do not create accounts or require sign-in.
- We do not sell, rent, or broker your files or clipboard content.
- The Chrome extension does not include third-party ad creatives or geo-targeted sponsor banners.
Website (drop2md.com)
- Conversion runs in your browser using a local WebAssembly engine. Drop2MD servers serve static page assets and a health check only.
-
Optional conversion history is stored in your browser’s
localStorageon that device. - Theme preference may be stored locally in the browser.
- Hosting infrastructure (Cloudflare) may log ordinary request metadata for asset and health GETs (for example IP-related edge data). That traffic does not include your document contents because they are never posted for convert.
- The website may show a first-party sponsored banner in some regions. That banner is not part of the Chrome extension.
Hands-on verification steps: private Markdown converter.
Chrome extension
- The extension packages the same local convert UI. Files you drop or browse are processed in the extension page on your device.
- The converter WebAssembly binary is bundled inside the extension package. It is not fetched from Drop2MD servers at convert time.
- Optional conversion history and theme preference stay in this extension’s local storage on your device.
- Clipboard access is used only when you choose Paste & Convert / paste shortcuts, or Copy Markdown — so the extension can read the clipboard or write Markdown when you ask.
- The extension does not declare host permissions to browse the open web, and it does not upload your documents to Drop2MD.
Data that stays on your device
| Data | Where | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Document / clipboard content during convert | Browser / extension memory | Produce Markdown |
| Optional conversion history | localStorage (site or extension origin) | Reopen recent Markdown locally |
| Theme preference | localStorage | Light / dark UI |
Clear history in the UI, or clear site / extension data in the browser. Uninstalling the extension removes its local storage.
Children
Drop2MD is a general productivity utility. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect children’s personal information through an upload convert path — because we do not operate one.
Changes
We may update this policy as the product evolves. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Material changes to how documents are handled will be reflected here before or when they ship.
