Nothing is lost in the sense of pixels or sound, but layout can change. Text, headings, lists and simple tables carry over; complex layouts, fonts and page breaks may not look exactly the same in RST. Check the result before you delete the TEX file.
Is my TEX file uploaded anywhere?
No. Filoshi converts on your PC with its built-in engines (FFmpeg, ImageMagick, Pandoc, PDFium, pdfcpu and 7-Zip). Your TEX file never leaves your computer.

Yes. TEX to RST is one of the 1,841 conversions that passed Filoshi's automated test matrix on Windows 11.
Can I convert many TEX files at once?
Yes, in the desktop app. Drop as many TEX files as you like on the window, pick RST once for all of them, and each file shows its own progress. The new files appear next to the originals, which are never changed.
