Privacy Policy

1. Client-Side Processing

PicTools.one is designed with privacy as a core principle. All image processing — including resizing, compressing, cropping, converting, and encoding — happens entirely within your web browser using client-side JavaScript and the HTML5 Canvas API. Your files are never transmitted to any server.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

• We do not collect, store, or process any images or files you use with our tools
• We do not collect personal information such as names, email addresses, or phone numbers
• We do not require account creation or registration
• We do not use cookies for tracking purposes

3. Analytics

We may use privacy-respecting analytics services (such as Google Analytics) to understand how visitors use our site. This data is aggregated and anonymized. It includes information such as page views, browser type, device type, and approximate geographic location. No personal data or file content is included in analytics.

4. Advertising

We display advertisements through third-party ad networks to support the free operation of our tools. These ad networks may use cookies and similar technologies to serve relevant ads. You can manage your ad preferences through your browser settings or through the ad network's opt-out mechanisms.

5. Third-Party Links

Our site may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.

6. Data Security

Since all file processing occurs locally in your browser, your data security is inherently protected. Files are processed in memory and are not persisted beyond your browser session. When you close the tab or navigate away, all processed data is automatically cleared from memory.

7. Children's Privacy

Our tools are available to users of all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Since we do not collect personal information from any users, this is inherently compliant with COPPA and similar regulations.

8. 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. Your continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
