Privacy policy
Last updated August 2026
The short version
Your images are uploaded over HTTPS, compressed, and deleted within 24 hours. They are never used to train anything, never sold, and never shared.
You can use the tool without an account. If you create one, we store your email address and what you have spent, because we have to.
Images you upload
An uploaded image is stored only long enough to compress it and let you download the result. Both the original and the result are deleted within 24 hours by an automated job. There is no manual step and no archive.
While a file exists, it is reachable only by whoever holds its job link. Those links are signed and short-lived.
Image metadata (EXIF, including GPS coordinates) is stripped during compression by default. We do not read it, index it, or keep it.
What we keep after that
A usage record: which operation ran, how many credits it cost, and when. This is what bills accounts and enforces free limits, so it is kept.
For anonymous use we keep a per-IP counter, so the free tier can be rate-limited. It expires automatically.
Job and batch records are deleted after 30 days.
Accounts
If you create an account we store your email address, a hash of your password (never the password itself), and your credit balance and payment history.
Payments are handled by Stripe. We never see or store your card details.
Cookies
We use cookies only to keep you signed in. There are no third-party trackers, and no analytics that follow you across sites.
Your rights
You can ask for a copy of your data, correct it, or have your account deleted. Because images are already deleted within 24 hours, a deletion request concerns your account record and usage history.
