Privacy Policy
Last updated: 14 July 2026
The short version
The pictures and videos you open in our apps are never uploaded to us. They are opened and edited by your own browser, on your own computer, and we never receive them.
We keep a basic record of visits (your IP address, your browser, and the page you asked for). If you create an account and save a project, we store the list of edits you made, never the image itself. We do not run ads, we do not use third party analytics, and we do not sell anything about you to anyone.
Your files are not uploaded
When you open a file in one of our apps, your browser is given access to that file on your own device. Nothing is sent to our server. You can watch this for yourself: open an app, disconnect from the internet, and it will still work.
That means we cannot see your pictures or videos, we cannot lose them, we cannot be compelled to hand them over, and there is nothing of yours to leak if we were ever breached. This is a property of how the apps are built, not a promise about how well behaved we are.
What we record when you visit
For every request to the site we write one log entry containing:
- your IP address,
- your browser's user agent string (browser and operating system),
- the address you asked for, and the page that referred you,
- which app and app version you were using, if any,
- your account id, if you were signed in,
- the date and time.
We use this to see which apps get used, to spot abuse, and to fix things that break. These entries are deleted automatically after 30 days.
We also keep a running count of visits per app and per app version, split by whether the visitor was signed in. Those are plain numbers with nobody's details attached, and we keep them indefinitely.
If you create an account
An account is optional. Every app works fully without one. If you make one, we store your email address, the name you give us, and either a hashed version of your password (we never store the password itself) or, if you use "Sign in with Google", an identifier Google gives us for your account. We also record when you last signed in.
We keep a session cookie so you stay signed in. Your browser also stores small preferences locally, such as your light or dark theme choice, which never reach us.
If you save a project to your account
Signing in lets you save a project so you can pick it up on another device. We never store your picture. What we store is the recipe: the list of edits needed to reproduce your work, which is only meaningful when combined with the original file that stays on your device.
A saved project contains:
- the project name you chose,
- the file name of the image you opened, and its width and height,
- a SHA-256 fingerprint of that file, used to match the recipe back to the right file on your device (a fingerprint cannot be turned back into the picture, but it could confirm that a specific file you already have was the one you opened),
- the list of edit steps, which are numbers, coordinates and colours,
- any text you typed into a text layer, since that is part of the edit.
You do not have to take our word for any of this. On your account page you can view the complete raw data we hold for any saved project, exactly as it sits in our database, and delete any project or all of them at once.
If you contact us
The contact form stores the name, email address and message you send, plus your IP address and browser, which help us filter spam. A copy is emailed to us so we can reply. We keep messages until we have dealt with them and no longer need them.
Other companies involved
- Cloudflare sits in front of this site to keep it fast and to absorb attacks. Traffic to the site passes through them, so they see your IP address and the pages you request.
- Google is involved only if you choose "Sign in with Google". Google tells us your email address and a Google account identifier. We do not get access to anything else in your Google account.
- jsDelivr, a public code network, is used by the video compressor only in browsers that cannot compress video on their own (currently Firefox and Safari). In that case your browser downloads a compression engine from them, which means they see your IP address. Your video is not involved, and nothing about it is sent to them.
That is the whole list. There are no advertising networks, no analytics services, no tracking pixels and no social media buttons on this site.
What we do not do
- We do not sell or rent your information to anyone.
- We do not show ads, and nothing here is funded by profiling you.
- We do not track you across other websites.
- We do not look at your files, because we do not have them.
How long we keep things
- Visit logs: 30 days, then deleted automatically.
- Anonymous visit counters: indefinitely. They contain no personal details.
- Saved projects: until you delete them, or you delete your account.
- Account details: until you ask us to close your account.
- Contact messages: until they are dealt with.
Your control
You can view the exact data we hold for any saved project, and delete projects individually or all at once, on your account page. If you want your account and everything attached to it removed, send us a message and we will do it. If you want to know what we hold about you, ask, and we will tell you.
Children
This site is not aimed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
Changes to this policy
If we change how any of this works, we will update this page and change the date at the top. If a change ever means we collect something new about you, we will say so plainly rather than quietly rewording a paragraph.
