Changelog

August 2026 — Free local document viewer

Added a unified read-only viewer for PDF, DOCX, ODT, XLSX, XLS, XLSM, ODS, CSV, TSV, PPTX, EPUB, Markdown, HTML, JSON, XML, and text files. PDF pages render through the bundled local engine, spreadsheets open as searchable grids with hidden sheets labelled, and Office or ebook text is reconstructed with layout limitations shown. Macros, scripts, remote resources, forms, and embedded executables never run.

August 2026 — 70 local file tools

Expanded the catalog to 70 working tools across five categories. The release added a local video editor and recorders, audio conversion and editing, Office and PDF conversion, ebook tools, archive extraction and conversion, and font conversion. New outputs are reopened with the relevant local media, archive, Office, font, or PDF parser before download. Browser and format limitations remain visible instead of being hidden behind an upload fallback.

August 2026 — Verified MP4 video compression

Added genuine MP4 output to the local video compressor alongside WebM. The tool detects H.264/AAC support from the browser and operating system, disables unsupported format/audio combinations, checks the MP4 or WebM container signature, and re-decodes the compressed result before download. WebM bytes are never renamed to look like MP4.

July 2026 — Local PDF-to-Word editing

Added an Edit as Word mode inside PDF Editor and a dedicated PDF-to-Word tool. Text-layer PDFs can now be reconstructed into editable document pages, downloaded as a verified Office Open XML DOCX file, or rendered back into a PDF that is reopened by two independent parsers. The conversion stays in the browser, encrypted inputs use a local password retry, and scanned pages are identified honestly instead of being presented as successful OCR.

July 2026 — Site analytics added

Added Google Analytics (gtag.js), Vercel Analytics, and Microsoft Clarity to measure page visits, usability, and how the site is found. These receive page-visit and interaction data — never your file’s bytes or anything derived from them as data — and every tool works normally with analytics blocked. Clarity adds heatmaps and session replay, which record the visible page; because a tool screen can show a preview of your file, the privacy policy, how-it-works, and security pages were updated to disclose this honestly.

July 2026 — Search-optimized task pages

Added 33 task-specific pages for common jobs — format conversions (PNG to JPG, HEIC to JPG, PDF to image, and more), platform resize presets (Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, and others), and compress-to-size targets (20 KB through 1 MB). Each opens a real, preconfigured local tool. Also added a target-size search mode to the image compressor.

July 2026 — Initial release

The first public release of HateItAll shipped with:

• 23 local tools across four categories — images and screenshots (redaction, metadata inspection and stripping, compression, resizing, conversion, cropping), PDFs (merge, split, rotate, PDF-to-images, images-to-PDF, metadata cleaning, watermarking), spreadsheets (Excel↔CSV conversion, hidden-data inspection, metadata removal, values-only clean copies), and video and audio (trim, mute, compress, audio extraction, audio trimming).
• Output verification framework: privacy-relevant tools reopen and rescan their own outputs and report Verified, Verified with declared limitations, or Failed verification — with failed checks blocking the download.
• Fully local processing: a static site with no upload endpoints; engines run in the browser tab and load on demand per tool.
• Files stay on your device by architecture: no upload endpoint exists, so no script — analytics included — ever receives your file’s bytes, filenames, or data derived from them. (Analytics, including Microsoft Clarity session replay, was added later — see the July 2026 analytics entry above and the privacy policy.)
• Dark, light, and system themes with a high-contrast, accessibility-focused design system, keyboard operability for core actions, and responsive layouts for desktop and mobile.
• Trust documentation: how-it-works verification guide, privacy policy, security and architecture overview with threat model, browser compatibility notes, and six practical privacy guides.
