Image processing stays in your browser
Images you select are processed by the editor in your browser. The tool does not intentionally upload source images or processed image bytes to our server. Do not select files you are not authorized to use, and keep your original files until you have checked every result.
Temporary browser memory and downloads
The editor may hold source images, previews, settings, and generated files in the current tab's memory while you work. Downloads are created for your browser to save to your device. Resetting the editor, closing the tab, or reloading the page clears the active workspace, subject to normal browser behavior and any files already saved to your device.
Page requests and logs
When server reporting is active, minimized access records may include the time, a request identifier, an allowlisted route category, method and status, a coarse browser or bot label, and the referring domain. Trusted client addresses are converted immediately into site- and UTC-day-specific one-way HMAC codes; raw IP addresses, full URLs or queries, request bodies, raw browser strings and full referrer URLs are not kept. Marked ImagePinch audits remain in request totals but are excluded from visitor estimates. During normal scheduled operation, detailed minimized records rotate daily and are removed within 14 days; a missed cleanup may retain them longer until the schedule is restored. Daily aggregate reports may be kept longer for comparisons but contain no per-request codes. We show locally hosted image advertiser links. Following a link may share only this site’s origin as the referring address. We collect limited page, tool-use and ad-view/click events through this site, using a random code kept only in the current tab. Records contain the public page path, referring hostname, operation and campaign identifiers, and server-assigned test/bot categories. They exclude files, filenames, QR contents, typed text, raw IPs, full browser strings and full referring URLs. Detailed event records are normally cleaned daily with about 14 days of retention; interrupted cleanup may delay deletion. Only aggregated counters, without tab, task or ad-instance codes, reach the operations dashboard. Marked owner tests and identified bots, scripts and risk events are excluded from qualified counters; unknown classifications remain separate. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control disable optional collection. Blocked or failed submissions may reduce counts; sessions are not verified people. Advertising links may carry public source, placement, campaign and creative labels. In this tab, these labels connect arrival counts with tool completion and download initiation. Session, task and ad-display identifiers are not shared between sites.
