Privacy Policy
Files processed in your browser stay on your device for supported browser conversions. Formats that need heavier processing are labeled before upload is enabled.
Browser-local conversions
For supported browser routes, ImageConvert uses browser APIs to decode and export images locally. The file does not need to be uploaded to a server for those supported paths.
The browser creates temporary object URLs for downloads. Clearing the page or removing files clears those temporary references.
Formats that need heavier processing
Formats such as RAW files beyond supported Sony ARW, OpenEXR variants beyond browser tone-mapped previews or animated GIF/APNG may require WASM processing or isolated server workers before they can be offered safely. HEIC, HEIF, TIFF, TIF, Sony ARW, EXR, HDR, static GIF and static APNG can export locally to JPG, PNG or WEBP when the browser environment can load the required decoder/parser. EXR/HDR still images also have byte-proven temporary-server outputs to AVIF, JFIF, ICO and GIF. PNG, JPG, WEBP, AVIF, SVG, BMP and JFIF can also export real multi-size ICO favicon files locally. Animated GIF/APNG files are refused instead of flattened until animation-preserving export exists.
Any future server-side processing must define file retention, deletion timing, logs and limits before upload is enabled.
Analytics and operational logs
ImageConvert records privacy-friendly usage events so the product can measure visits, selected tool pages, file-selection counts, conversion starts, successful conversions, failures and downloads. These events are used to understand which pages and formats work best and where errors happen.
Analytics events do not store uploaded file names or raw IP addresses. Visitor and session identifiers are hashed from request metadata with a private server secret. Stored page paths exclude query strings, referrers are reduced to their origin, and analytics logs are retained for operational reporting before old daily logs are rotated.
Traffic-source reporting may store privacy-safe attribution fields such as referrer domain, traffic channel, landing path and UTM campaign labels. Raw ad click IDs and arbitrary URL query strings are not stored.
Cookies and browser storage
ImageConvert does not require advertising cookies or account cookies to run local conversions. The browser may keep normal site cache files so the app, workers and WASM decoders load faster on repeat visits.
A small sessionStorage acquisition snapshot can be used for privacy-safe attribution during the current browser session. It stores route and referrer category data, not file contents or file names.
