Privacy
Your images are never uploaded: not to us, not to anyone else, not even for a moment. Here is how that works.
What happens to an image you open
When you open a file in a tool, your browser reads it and edits it on your device. When you export, your browser saves the result, including any ZIP file, straight to your downloads.
Your image is never sent over the internet. We have no way to receive it. If you go offline after the page has loaded, every tool still works.
Good to know: exported images do not keep the hidden photo details from the original, such as GPS location. Only the rotation is used, so your image stays the right way up.
How to check it yourself
- 1. Open your browser’s developer tools and select the Network tab.
- 2. Load an image into any tool and export it.
- 3. Watch the list. You will see the page’s own files, and nothing carrying your image.
- 4. Or switch to aeroplane mode after the page loads and use the tool anyway.
What we measure
Social Toolshed records basic anonymous usage so we know which tools are worth maintaining, such as which tool you opened, the export format, whether it worked, and rough size ranges. We never record file names, your image, its exact size, text you paste or anything that identifies you.
What is stored on your device
Only your last crop position and zoom, so moving between tools keeps your layout. It contains nothing from your image, and your browser deletes it when you close the tab. We set no tracking cookies, and there are no accounts.
Who else is involved
Our hosting provider keeps standard request logs. Our analytics provider receives the usage events above and one cookieless page view per visit, with the page address and rough country and device type. There is no ID, no tracking across sites, and nothing from your image. We load no advertising, tracking or session-recording scripts.
