About
Jonathan Beauchemin is a web developer based in Quebec City, Canada. He is the founder and lead developer of FreeConversion, a free PDF compressor and manager that processes all files directly in the browser using WebAssembly — without ever sending them to a server.
FreeConversion was built in response to a straightforward problem: popular PDF compressors (iLovePDF, Smallpdf, Adobe) routinely upload your files to their servers, with little transparency about what happens next. FreeConversion was designed to eliminate that risk entirely.
