## Architecture Principles

1. **Zero-Knowledge Privacy:** 31 of 33 tools run 100% locally in browser memory via WebAssembly and JavaScript engines (`pdf-lib`, `pdf.js`, `SheetJS`, `Mammoth`, `docx`, `JSZip`). Confidential documents are never transmitted to remote servers.
2. **Universal PWA Installability:** Works natively across modern web browsers (Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox) and installs as a standalone app on Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, and Linux.
3. **No Login Barrier:** No registration, no credit cards, no subscriptions, and no watermarks placed on your files.
