Privacy Policy
The short version: your images are processed in your browser and never uploaded.
Last updated:
Your images
Every tool on this site — the image stretcher, Resize Image to KB, the image converter and the rest — runs in your own browser. Images you open are decoded, processed and exported there using the browser's Canvas API. They are not uploaded to a server, not stored, and their filenames and pixels are never sent to analytics, cookies or URLs.
What your browser stores
If you switch between light and dark mode, that choice is saved in your browser's local storage so it sticks on your next visit. The same applies when you pick a language in the language menu: the choice is remembered so the site can offer that language again, but it never redirects you away from a page you opened. When you send a result from the aspect ratio calculator to the image stretcher, the width and height are passed in session storage and deleted as soon as the stretcher reads them. None of this contains image data, and none of it is sent anywhere.
Server logs
The web server that delivers these pages may keep ordinary access logs — IP address, requested URL, time and browser user-agent — for operation and security. Those logs never contain your images, because your images never reach the server.
If you send a message with the form on the Contact page or write to the address shown there, your name, email address and message are used only to reply to you. They are not published, shared, or added to any mailing list.
How your information is used
The little that does reach the site is used only to run it: to keep the pages available, to look into a problem or abuse, and to reply to you if you write in. It is not used to build a profile of you, and it is never connected to the images you process, because those are never sent anywhere.
Sharing
Your information is not sold, rented or traded. The only parties who touch any of it are the hosting company that serves these pages and keeps the access logs, and the mail service that carries a contact-form message to its inbox. Beyond that, information would only be disclosed if the law required it.
How long things are kept
A message you send is kept for as long as it takes to deal with it. Server access logs are kept for the short window the hosting provider keeps them for operations and security. Whatever your browser has stored — your theme and language choice — stays until you clear this site's data yourself; the site has no way to read it or remove it for you.
Your choices
Clearing this site's data in your browser settings removes the theme and language preferences, and the site falls back to its defaults on your next visit. Using the contact form is optional — nothing on the site requires it. If you have written in and want that message deleted, ask using the details on the Contact page.
Analytics and advertising
This site currently uses Ahrefs Web Analytics, which counts page views without cookies and without tracking you across other sites and no advertising. If that changes, this page will be updated first to name the provider, what it collects and how to opt out. Image content and filenames will never be part of that data.
Children
This site is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Changes
This policy is updated when the site's features or integrations change, and before any new analytics or advertising takes effect.
