What Happens When You Select an Image
When you select or drop a file into one of our tools, it's read directly by your browser using standard web APIs. The tool then performs the requested operation — resizing, converting, rotating, compressing, or generating a favicon — using your browser's own processing capabilities.
Where Processing Occurs
Processing happens locally, on your device, inside your browser. Your image is not transmitted over the internet to reach our tools — there's no upload step before the conversion or resize begins.
Are Files Uploaded to a Server?
No. Because processing runs in your browser, your original image and the result never need to leave your device to complete the task.
What Happens After Processing?
The processed image is generated in your browser and offered to you as a download. We don't retain a copy after your session ends, because we never received one in the first place.
Are Files Stored Anywhere?
No. Since files are processed locally and not uploaded, there's nothing for us to store on our end. Once you close the tab or navigate away, the image only exists wherever you've saved the downloaded file yourself.
Supported Browsers
Current versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge on desktop and mobile platforms.
Why This Approach
Processing images locally means you don't need to create an account, wait on an upload, or trust a third party with files that might contain personal information — such as a signature or a photo submitted with an exam application. It also means the tools generally work without an internet connection once the page itself has loaded, though this can vary by tool and browser.
