Your images stay on your device
This page is the honest version, not a wall of legalese. ImgShifter's browser-side tools never upload your image. A small set of advanced format tools (TIFF, RAW, SVG vectorization) need server-side conversion - those are clearly labeled below. See how it works for the technical detail.
What we don't do
- Upload your image for browser-side tools (PNG/JPG/WEBP/AVIF/HEIC, compress, crop, resize)
- Require an account, login, or email
- Track image content, dimensions, or filenames
- Use third-party image processors or send your file to any partner
- Retain originals on the conversion service beyond the conversion request
- Sell or share data with image-processing third parties
What we do
- Run image processing in your browser via Canvas API and WebAssembly
- Use Google Analytics for aggregate page-view stats (no image data)
- Show ads via Google AdSense on tool pages (when enabled in your region)
- Cache the WebAssembly modules for offline use after first load
- Send only your file (not metadata about it) to the conversion service when a server-side format is selected

Analytics & ads
ImgShifter uses Google Analytics for aggregate page-view statistics (visit count, page paths, referrer) and may show Google AdSense ads on tool pages. Neither sees your image data — the image never leaves your tab during browser-side processing. You can block both at the browser level without affecting tool functionality.
Verify it yourself
The strongest privacy guarantee is one you can verify. Open PNG to JPG or any browser-side tool, disconnect from the internet, and run a conversion. The download still works — that's proof the file never went anywhere. Or open DevTools → Network and watch the request count stay at zero during conversion.
