Privacy Policy

PixelTools is a free, browser-based image utility platform. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have regarding your data. The most important thing to understand about PixelTools is this: your images are never uploaded to any server. All image processing happens entirely within your browser using the Canvas API and FileReader API. We have no technical ability to access, view, or store your image files.

We collect minimal data necessary to operate the website: • Usage Analytics: We may collect anonymous usage statistics such as page views, tool usage frequency, and general geographic region (country level). This data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify individual users. • Contact Form Data: If you submit our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and message content solely to respond to your inquiry. • Cookies: We use essential cookies to maintain basic website functionality. We do not use tracking cookies or advertising cookies without your consent. We do NOT collect: your image files, image content, file names, or any data derived from your images.

This section is the most important for understanding how PixelTools protects your privacy. All image processing on PixelTools is performed client-side, meaning it happens entirely within your web browser on your own device. When you upload an image to any of our tools: • The image is read by your browser's FileReader API • Processing is performed by your browser's Canvas API • The output is generated as a Blob URL in your browser's memory • The image data is never transmitted to our servers • The image data is never stored on our servers • We have no access to your image content at any time This architecture means that even if we wanted to access your images, we technically cannot. Your files stay on your device from start to finish.
