How Moyang works
What is Moyang
Moyang is a collection of free file tools — image converters, PDF utilities and developer formatters — that run entirely in your browser. There is no server-side processing: the site is static, and every conversion happens on your device.
That single architectural decision explains everything else about the site. Server-based converters impose daily limits, file-size caps and queues because every conversion costs them CPU and bandwidth. Moyang's conversions cost nothing, so there are no limits to impose — no sign-up, no quotas, no queue, and your files are never uploaded anywhere.
How your files stay private
When you drop a file onto a tool, it is read into memory by your browser and handed to a Web Worker — a background thread on your own machine. Format decoding and encoding is done by open-source codecs compiled to WebAssembly (the same libraries used by native apps), running locally. The result is assembled in memory and offered back to you as a download. At no point does the file, its name, or its contents leave your device.
Verify it yourself
You don't have to take our word for it — this is checkable in under a minute:
- Open your browser's developer tools (F12) and switch to the Network tab.
- Convert any file with any tool on this site.
- Watch the request list: you'll see the page's own assets loading (scripts, styles, the codec for the tool) — and zero outgoing requests carrying your file.
Or try the blunter test: load a tool page, disconnect from the internet entirely, and convert a file. It works, because nothing about the conversion needs a network.
The stack
Moyang is a statically generated Nuxt site. The heavy lifting is done by excellent open-source projects: pdf-lib for PDF manipulation, pdf.js for PDF rendering, jSquash (mozjpeg/oxipng) for image encoding, libheif for HEIC decoding, and others. We're grateful to their maintainers.
