Local Storage vs Cookies

Most of your preferences are stored in Local Storage, not cookies:

  • Local Storage: Conversion settings, recent formats, UI preferences
  • Session Storage: Temporary data during conversion process
  • Cookies: Only essential functionality and your cookie consent choices

💡 Local Storage data never leaves your device and doesn't have expiration dates like cookies.
