Privacy Policy

How this site handles your files, your visit data and third-party services. Last updated: June 2026.

Your images

All conversion tools on this site process files locally in your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Files you select are read on your device, converted on your device, and downloaded from your device's memory. The conversion tools do not transmit your images to our server or any third party. You can verify this in your browser's developer tools (Network tab) during a conversion.

Converted output exists only in your browser tab's memory and is released when you clear the results or close the tab. We have no copies, logs or thumbnails of your images — at no point do they reach us.

Metadata

Because images are redrawn during conversion, EXIF metadata (GPS location, camera model, capture date) is generally not carried over into the converted output. This is a side effect of the technique, not a metadata-scrubbing guarantee — verify the output yourself if metadata removal is critical for you.

Advertising and cookies

This website uses Google AdSense to display advertising on its pages. Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies to serve and measure ads, prevent fraud, and — depending on your consent choices — personalize them. You can learn how Google uses data from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites, and manage ad personalization at adssettings.google.com. Visitors in the EEA and UK are shown a consent dialog before any personalized advertising cookies are set.

Analytics and server logs

Like virtually all websites, the server hosting these pages records standard access logs (requested page, timestamp, IP address, browser user-agent) for security and capacity purposes. We may use privacy-respecting aggregate analytics to see which pages and tools are used. None of this involves your image files, which never reach the server.

Sensitive images

Although processing is local, the general advice for any online environment applies: be cautious with highly sensitive material on shared or managed devices, where browser extensions, corporate monitoring or malware operate outside this site's control.
