How ImgCompress.app handles your data: images are processed in your browser and never uploaded, and we run no accounts or tracking of our own.
Last updated:
ImgCompress.app runs entirely in your browser. When you compress, convert, resize, or edit an image, the file is read and processed on your own device using your browser’s built-in capabilities. Your images are never uploaded to a server, never leave your device, and are never seen by us. Closing or refreshing the tab clears the working files from memory.
There are no user accounts, no sign-up, and no login. We do not ask for your name, email, or any personal detail to use the tools. We do not collect, store, copy, or transmit the images you process, and we do not build profiles or sell data, because we hold none to begin with.
A few small settings are saved in your browser’s local storage so the site remembers your choices between visits. These stay on your device and are never sent to us: • your light or dark theme preference • your answer to the cookie notice • whether you dismissed the “install app” prompt You can clear these at any time through your browser’s site-data settings.
The site itself does not set tracking cookies; your settings use local storage instead. If Google Analytics or Google AdSense is enabled, Google and its advertising partners can set cookies, but only after you click Accept in the cookie notice. Before you answer, and after you click Decline, those cookies stay off. You can change your choice at any time with “Cookie settings” in the footer, and you can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings.
Some pages may show ads from Google AdSense to keep the tools free. If you accept cookies, Google and its partners may use cookies or similar identifiers to measure how ads perform and to show ads based on your past browsing. If you decline, you see non-personalized ads, chosen from limited information such as the page you are reading. We do not share your images or any personal data with advertisers, because we collect none. You can also opt out of personalized ads through your browser settings and through industry pages such as aboutads.info and youronlinechoices.eu.
To run the site we rely on a small number of outside providers: • Cloudflare hosts and delivers the site and provides cookie-free, aggregate traffic statistics. • The interface fonts are bundled with the site and served from our own domain, so loading a page sends no request to Google Fonts. Each provider receives only the technical data needed to deliver its part of the page, never your images.
We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count visits and see which pages are used. It does not set cookies, does not fingerprint visitors, and reports only aggregate numbers such as page views and referrers. We cannot identify individual people from it. We may also use Google Analytics to see how the tools are used. It sets cookies only after you click Accept in the cookie notice, and the usage data it collects is handled by Google under its own privacy policy. If you decline, Google Analytics sets no cookies.
Privacy laws such as the GDPR and CCPA give you rights over personal data a company holds about you, including access, correction, deletion, and objection to certain uses. Because we do not collect or store personal data, there is nothing on our side to retrieve or erase. For data held by the advertising or infrastructure providers above, use their own controls and the opt-out links in this policy. If you have a request or question, email us and we will help.
The site is a general-purpose utility and is not directed at children under 13 (or under 16 where local law sets that age). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. Since the tools work without any account or personal information, no such data is requested from any user.
You can use ImgCompress.app from anywhere, and your images are processed locally in your browser wherever you are. The hosting and advertising providers named above may process technical request data on servers in other countries; their own policies and safeguards govern those transfers.
If we change how the site works or which providers we use, we will update this page and the “last updated” date above. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the revised policy.
