The short version
Your photo never leaves your device. That is not a promise about how carefully we handle your files. It is a description of how the tool is built, and you can check it yourself in about ten seconds.
| Item | Does it leave your device? | Do we keep it? |
|---|---|---|
| The photo you resize | No | No |
| The size target you type | No | No |
| The resized file you download | No | No |
| Your name or email | Never asked for | No |
| Standard web server logs | Yes | Held by the hosting provider for a short period |
Why your photo cannot reach us
When you pick a file, the browser hands the tool a reference to that file on your own disk. The image is decoded, redrawn and re-encoded by code running inside your tab. The finished file is then handed back to your download folder.
At no point is there an upload step, because the tool has no server to upload to. The technical background for this is documented publicly in the MDN reference for the browser File API.
How to check this yourself
Open the page, load the page fully, then switch your phone or laptop to flight mode. Now resize a photo. It still works. A tool that was uploading your file could not do that.
What this site does collect
Visiting any website leaves a trace on the hosting provider. This site is no different, and it is fair to tell you exactly what that trace is.
- Server access logs. Your IP address, the page you asked for, the time, and your browser type. These are created automatically by the web server and are used to keep the site running and to spot abuse.
- Aggregate search data. Google Search Console reports which search terms brought people to the site. It shows counts, not people, and it cannot identify you.
- Anything you send us. If you email or message us, we hold that message so we can reply to it.
Cookies
The tool itself sets no cookies and stores nothing in your browser between visits. It does not remember your last target size, your last file or anything about you.
The site runs on WordPress, which may set a small number of technical cookies, for example if a comment form or a security plugin is active on a page. None of these are used for advertising or tracking across other websites.
Third parties
Kept deliberately short, because every extra third party is an extra place your data could go.
- The hosting provider, which serves the pages and keeps the access logs described above
- Google Search Console, for aggregate search performance data
- Google Fonts, which serves the typefaces used on the site
There is no advertising network, no analytics pixel from a social platform and no session recording on this site at present. If that ever changes, this page will be updated on the same day, not quietly afterwards.
Your rights over your data
Because the tool collects no personal data, there is usually nothing for us to hand over or erase. Where you have contacted us directly, you can ask for a copy of that message or ask us to delete it.
Depending on where you live, you may have formal rights under India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, the UK and EU General Data Protection Regulation, or a similar law in your own country. To use any of them, write to us on the contact page and we will respond.
Children
This site is a general utility and is not aimed at children. It does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, of any age, because it does not ask for personal information at all.
Changes to this policy
If the way this site handles data changes, this page will be updated and the date at the top will change with it. Material changes will be described in plain language rather than buried in a new clause.
Questions about anything on this page can go to the contact page. The terms of use and the disclaimer cover the rest of the ground rules.
Frequently asked questions
Do you store the photos I resize?
No. Your photo is never sent to us, so there is nothing for us to store, delete or leak. The whole resize runs inside your own browser tab and the result is saved straight to your device.
Do I need an account to use the tool?
No. There is no sign up, no login and no email needed. Nothing on this site asks for your name or personal details.
Can I use the tool with my internet turned off?
Once the page has finished loading, yes. Turn on flight mode and resize a photo. It still works, which is the simplest proof that the file is not going anywhere.
