Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 8, 2026

            TL;DR: Your privacy is absolute. All image conversions happen entirely in your browser. We never see, store, or transmit your files. No servers. No uploads. No tracking. Period.
        

Our Commitment to Your Privacy

Image Format Converter is designed with privacy as a core principle. Unlike many online tools, we process everything locally in your browser using JavaScript. This means your files never leave your device.

What Data We Collect

Short answer: None of your personal data or files.

Files You Convert

Never uploaded: All image conversions happen in your browser using the Canvas API and JavaScript
Never stored: Files exist only in your browser's temporary memory during conversion
Automatically cleared: All data is cleared when you close the tab or navigate away

Technical Data

We do not collect any analytics, usage statistics, or technical information about your visits.

Third-Party Services

Content Delivery Networks (CDN)

We use CDN services (like cdnjs.cloudflare.com) to load open-source libraries (JSZip). These services may log basic request information for their own operational purposes.

Ko-fi

We link to our Ko-fi page for optional sponsorship. If you click through to Ko-fi, their site may set cookies or collect data according to their own policies.

Local Storage

This application does not use cookies, localStorage, or any form of persistent storage. Each session is completely independent and leaves no trace after you close the browser.

Data Security

Since we never collect, store, or transmit your files, there's no data to secure on our end. Your files remain on your device throughout the entire conversion process.

Security benefits of client-side processing:

No risk of server breaches - there is no server
No risk of data interception during upload - there are no uploads
No risk of unauthorized access - files never leave your device
Works offline - no internet connection required after initial page load

Children's Privacy

This service does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children under 13. Since all processing is client-side, we have no way to determine the age of our users.

Your Rights

Under data protection laws (GDPR, CCPA, etc.), you have rights regarding your personal data. However, since we don't collect any personal data, these rights are inherently protected:

Right to Access: We have no data about you to access
Right to Deletion: There's no data to delete
Right to Portability: No data is stored, so nothing to port
Right to Object: No data processing to object to

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

How This Tool Works

For technical transparency, here's exactly what happens when you convert an image:

You select files using your browser's file picker
Files are read into browser memory using the FileReader API
Images are processed using HTML5 Canvas API
Converted images are created as Blob objects in memory
Download links are generated using createObjectURL
When you close the tab, everything is cleared from memory

Not a single byte of your data touches our servers. Ever.

Transparency

This tool runs entirely in your browser. You can inspect the client-side JavaScript in your browser’s developer tools to verify how conversions work and confirm that files are processed locally.

Contact

If you have questions about this privacy policy or our privacy practices, please contact us through our Ko-fi page.

Bottom Line: This is a truly private tool. Your files are yours and yours alone. We built it this way on purpose because we believe privacy should be the default, not an afterthought.
