Why choose PrivConvert?
Converting File to XZ should not mean handing a stranger a permanent copy of your data. PrivConvert processes everything in memory and forgets it instantly.

Files are processed in volatile memory (RAM) and purged the instant your download is ready — nothing is ever written to disk, cached or backed up.
