Is Carbon safe to use?
Short answer
Carbon uploads your files to its servers.
When you use Carbon, your documents are transmitted over the internet to third-party servers for processing. You are trusting their retention, security, and privacy policies with your data โ and once a file is uploaded, you cannot verify what happens to it.
The private alternative
Brevio runs every tool entirely inside your browser. Your files are never uploaded โ they never leave your device. No account, no server, no retention. You can verify it yourself in the browser network tab.
Frequently asked questions
- Can Brevio create code screenshots?
- No. Brevio formats code but does not generate visual code screenshots. Carbon specialises in that use case.
