Privacy
Your images stay on your device. That is not just a promise we make. It is how the site is built, and your own browser is what enforces it, on every page and for every file you open.
Your images are never uploaded
This site has no server code that receives files. Your images are opened, converted and saved by your own browser, on your own device.
Every page tells your browser to block this site from sending data anywhere else. Even if some part of the page tried to send your photo somewhere, your browser would refuse.
The tools that read and write image formats, including camera raw, are served from this site itself. Loading them does not contact any other company. Page-view analytics are described below.
What analytics records
We use analytics that record page views only: the page address, the site you came from, and rough device and country information. That is all it is set up to do.
Nothing about your images is ever recorded or sent. That means no file name, file size, image dimensions, format, camera model, location tag or any other detail of a file you open. The conversion code contains no analytics at all.
What is kept on your device
Nothing is kept once you close the tab. Files you add stay in memory only while the tab is open, and they are released when you remove a file or clear the queue.
There is no saved history, no stored copy of your images and no session to resume. A converted file you have not downloaded is gone when you close the page.
Photo details are your choice
Photos often carry the camera model, the exact time they were taken and sometimes the GPS location. You decide whether to keep these details. The queue warns you when a file contains a location before you convert anything, and each result shows what was kept or removed. Where a format cannot store these details (AVIF, BMP and ICO), the page says so.
Camera raw files are the one exception. The page shows when a raw file contains a location, but the location is never written into the converted file, whatever you choose. Camera, lens, exposure and capture time are kept when they are present and the output format can store them.
It works offline
Once the page has loaded, converting does not need an internet connection. The only exception is the first time a conversion needs an extra format tool, such as the one for AVIF, TIFF or camera raw. It is downloaded from this site once and then kept by your browser, so after that the tool works offline too.
