The idea for Prekail was born out of pure frustration. Like many of you, when I browsed the internet looking for simple web tools—like editing an image, converting a PDF, or formatting a document—I constantly ran into problems.

Every website I visited had a catch. Some forced me to navigate through a maze of intrusive pop-up ads. Others demanded that I create an account and verify my email just to download a single file. The worst part was the complete lack of privacy. I was forced to upload my highly confidential documents to unknown third-party cloud servers, constantly worrying if my data would be leaked or sold.

Even when I found a tool that seemed okay, they would either impose strict file size limits or stamp an ugly watermark on my hard work, asking for a premium subscription to remove it.

I searched everywhere for a single, unified platform that offered secure file processing without all these compromises, but it simply didn't exist. So, I decided to build it myself. Prekail was created to solve all these issues by using advanced client-side processing—meaning your files are processed directly inside your browser and never uploaded to any server. No limits, no watermarks, no registration, and zero data tracking.
