About FileSherpa

A sherpa doesn't carry the mountain for you — they know the route, cut the wasted steps, and get you there faster. That's the idea behind FileSherpa: the everyday file tasks that shouldn't need an account, a subscription, or a tutorial, don't.

I got tired of the usual routine — searching for a converter, landing on a page buried in ads, uploading a file to some server, and hoping it actually comes back. So FileSherpa works the other way around: every tool runs entirely in your browser. Your files are processed on your device and never uploaded anywhere, which also means it's just fast — no upload, no queue, no waiting on someone else's server.

I'm Samuel Blasko, and I build this on my own, one useful tool at a time, guided mostly by what people actually ask for. It's not a company and there's no team — just one person who wanted these tools to exist. No signup, no dark patterns, no selling your data. If something here is wrong or missing, email me.

About the AI-assisted search

When you type what you need instead of picking a tool yourself, that request is matched against our tools first, entirely on your device, at no cost and with nothing sent anywhere. Only if that can't confidently figure out what you mean does it ask an AI model — currently OpenAI's API — to interpret it. That request only ever includes what you typed, plus a few measurements of the file (its type and size, and where relevant things like its pixel dimensions or page count) — see how it works for the exact list. Your file itself is never uploaded or seen by anyone, including us.
