When it comes to self-hosting services, there’s always a question of whether deploying a local container is worth the extra hassle when you can just access cloud-based platforms. However, Vert is one instance where it’s always better to ditch the online apps for a containerized solution.

For starters, you’ll have to upload your documents to third-party servers when converting PDFs, JPGs, or other documents via online platforms. While many websites claim to delete your data after a specific span of time, there’s a huge privacy issue every time you send private files to an external server.
