Privacy Policy

How Image Tools Processes Your Images

Image Tools is a browser-based image processing platform. The majority of image operations — including compression, conversion, resizing, cropping, and filtering — are performed directly in your web browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your images are processed on your device and are not uploaded to our servers for these operations.

When you use a tool on this website, your image data stays within your browser's memory. Once you close the page or navigate away, the processed image data is discarded from memory.

What Data We Collect

• Image data: Not collected. Images are processed locally in your browser and are never transmitted to our servers for standard tool operations.
• Usage analytics: We may collect anonymous usage data (such as which tools are visited) to improve the website. This data does not include your images or personal information.
• Cookies: We use minimal cookies necessary for website functionality. No tracking cookies are used for advertising purposes.

Browser-Based Processing

Most tools on this website use the browser's built-in Canvas API, WebAssembly, or JavaScript libraries to process images. This means:

• Images are loaded into your browser's memory
• Processing happens on your device's CPU/GPU
• No image data is sent over the network during processing
• Results are available for download directly from your browser
• When you leave the page, all image data is released from memory

Advertising

To keep our tools free, we may display advertisements on some pages. We use advertising networks that may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads. These ads help fund the development and maintenance of the tools.

• Ad cookies: Advertising partners may use cookies to serve relevant ads. You can control this through our consent banner or your browser settings.
• Non-personalized ads: If you decline personalized advertising, you may still see ads, but they will not be based on your browsing history.
• Ad networks: We currently do not use third-party ad networks. If this changes, this policy will be updated accordingly.
• Image privacy: Your uploaded images are never shared with advertising partners or any third-party services.

Third-Party Services

Image Tools does not send your images to third-party services for processing. Some tools may load external font files or JavaScript libraries from CDNs (Content Delivery Networks) for user interface purposes, but these services do not receive your image data.

Your Choices

• Consent: You can accept or decline advertising cookies through our consent banner.
• Do Not Track: We respect the Do Not Track (DNT) browser setting. If DNT is enabled, advertising cookies are not set.
• Browser settings: You can control cookies through your browser settings at any time.
• Ad blockers: You are free to use ad-blocking software. Our core tools will continue to function.

Data Retention

Since images are processed in your browser and not stored on our servers, there is no server-side data retention for your images. Any processing history exists only in your browser's memory and is cleared when you close the tab or navigate away.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date. We recommend checking this page periodically.
