Privacy Policy

All processing happens locally using your browser's Canvas API and WebAssembly. When you drop a file onto imgkilo, it is read into memory in your browser and worked on there. It is never uploaded, copied to a server, or stored by us.

You can verify this yourself: open your browser's developer tools, switch to the Network panel, and process an image. You will see no file upload requests leave your machine.

imgkilo does not ask you to register, log in, or provide an email address to use any tool. There is no user database, because there are no user accounts.

If, and only if, you accept analytics cookies, we load Google Analytics 4 to understand which tools people use and how pages perform, so we can prioritise improvements. The data Google Analytics collects on our behalf is limited to standard, non-identifying measurement:

• Pages you view on imgkilo, including the page URL, page title, and the referrer that sent you to us.
• Approximate location — country, region, and city — derived by Google from your IP address. Google Analytics 4 does not log or store the IP address itself.
• Device and browser information such as device type (mobile, tablet, or desktop), operating system, browser, screen size, and language.
• Basic engagement signals such as session start, time on page, scrolls, and clicks on outbound links (Google Analytics calls these "enhanced measurement" events).
• A randomly generated identifier, stored in the first-party cookies described below, that lets Google distinguish a new visit from a returning one. It is not tied to your name or any account, because imgkilo has no accounts.

Analytics is deliberately blind to anything sensitive. In particular, it never receives:

• The contents of your images, or any image at all — every file is processed on your device and is never part of an analytics event.
• Your name, email address, or any account details, because there are no accounts.
• Your precise location, advertising identifiers, or data used to build an advertising profile. We deny Google's ad-storage and personalisation signals by default and run no ads.

Analytics cookies are off by default. The first time you visit, a consent banner asks whether you accept them, and nothing is loaded until you choose. We use Google's Consent Mode v2, so until you opt in, Google's tag is held in a denied state and sets no analytics or advertising cookies. If you decline, no analytics cookies are ever set.

When you do accept, Google Analytics sets first-party cookies in your browser — typically named "_ga" and "_ga_<container-id>" — which store the random visitor identifier and session state. These are readable only on imgkilo.com and are not advertising cookies.

You can change your decision at any time using the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer. Withdrawing consent stops further analytics collection; you can also clear the cookies through your browser at any time.

We do not set advertising cookies, do not run ads, and do not sell or share your data.

Analytics is provided by Google, which acts as a data processor and may process this measurement data on servers outside your country, including in the United States. You can review how Google handles this data in the Google Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from sites that use its services.

The site itself is served as static files through a content delivery network and self-hosts its fonts, so no other third-party trackers are needed to render a page. Outbound links in our written guides point to reputable references such as MDN and Wikipedia and are clearly marked.

If you have a question about this policy, email hello@imgkilo.com. Because we hold no personal data, there is nothing for us to export or delete on request, but we are happy to clarify how the tools work.
