Why do we use open-source engines like Libvips and PDF-lib? Because transparency is the only way to build true security tools.
Transparency is Security
Closed-source 'black box' tools require blind trust. Open-source tools allow for peer review and community verification of privacy claims.
The WASM Ecosystem
We stand on the shoulders of giants. The incredible progress in WebAssembly is a direct result of open-source collaboration across the web. Libraries like FFmpeg and ImageMagick, ported to WASM, are what make ToolNet possible.
Why Auditability Matters
For security-sensitive industries, 'Trust me' is a failure. ToolNet's reliance on open-source engines means anyone can verify how their data is being handled. It's the highest form of technical accountability.
Conclusion: Building Together
Open source is more than just code; it's a philosophy of shared progress. We are proud to contribute back to the ecosystem that empowers our users every day.
