Why local conversion is faster than the upload cycle
Traditional converters spend most of their time on the network: uploading your file, queueing it on a server, processing, and downloading the result. A 20 MB PDF can spend 90 seconds in transit and conversion combined. ModiFile's engine runs inside your browser as WebAssembly, so the file never leaves your machine — the entire round trip disappears. On a typical broadband connection this turns a two-minute conversion into a 10–20 second one.
Benchmark conditions
The numbers on this page were measured on a mid-range laptop (4-core, 8 GB RAM) over a 100/40 Mbps connection, cached for fairness. Your results scale with your device, not your bandwidth: a modern phone converts small documents nearly as fast as a desktop, which is exactly why local processing wins for on-the-go edits.
For very large files the gap widens further — a 200 MB video-to-MP4 job that would saturate an upload pipe for minutes processes locally in about the time your CPU needs, with no progress bars hostage to connection drops. If a conversion ever fails, your file is still exactly where it was: nothing was uploaded, so nothing can be lost in transit.
