Cloudflare on FreeFileConvert: Security and Protection for You

FreeFileConvert uses Cloudflare, a global network in front of our servers, to deliver FreeFileConvert.com with stronger security and better reliability. You get the benefits automatically when you visit. Here’s what that means for your security.


Encrypted Connection and Full (Strict) SSL

When you use FreeFileConvert.com, your connection is encrypted with HTTPS from your browser all the way to our servers. We use Cloudflare in Full (Strict) mode, so there is no unencrypted leg: the link between you and Cloudflare is encrypted, and the link between Cloudflare and our origin is also encrypted using a valid, trusted certificate. Your uploads, conversion requests, and downloads never travel in the clear, and our server’s identity is verified. You’ll see the padlock in your browser. That’s end-to-end encryption in action, and it keeps your files and activity private.


Malicious Requests Are Blocked

Traffic to FreeFileConvert passes through Cloudflare’s security layer before it reaches our servers. Malicious requests, bad bots, and common web attacks such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting are blocked before they can affect the service. That reduces the risk to your session and your data and keeps the site actively protected.


In Short

FreeFileConvert uses Cloudflare for end-to-end encryption (Full Strict SSL), protection for your data in transit, and filtering of malicious traffic. You get these security benefits automatically when you use FreeFileConvert.com. If you have questions about how we protect the site and your data, feel free to get in touch.
