Using Filzy with Apple's Lockdown Mode

Lockdown Mode is an advanced Apple protection that disables certain web technologies, including WebAssembly. This prevents Filzy's local processing tools from working. Here's how to add an exception for this site.

What is Lockdown Mode?

Lockdown Mode is a security feature available on iOS 16+, iPadOS 16+ and macOS Ventura+. It reduces the attack surface by disabling certain features, including WebAssembly (WASM).

Filzy uses WebAssembly to compress, convert and clean your files directly in the browser, without sending data to any server. When Lockdown Mode is active, these tools cannot function.

Alternative: use Chrome or Firefox

If you'd rather not change Safari settings, you can use Chrome or Firefox. These browsers fully support WebAssembly and all Filzy tools work perfectly, with no configuration needed.

Your files stay private

Filzy processes all your files locally in your browser. No files are sent to any server, regardless of the browser you use.
