Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2026

In short
  • We never upload your images to any server. Compression is 100% in your browser.
  • We never sell, share, or monetise your data. Not to advertisers, not to anyone.
  • We collect only what is strictly needed: your email for login and subscription status.
  • You can export or permanently delete your account and all data at any time.

What makes ImagePDF.Tools different

Most image tools upload your files to a server, process them remotely, and store them temporarily. ImagePDF.Tools takes the opposite approach:

ToolHow it handles your images
Other appsUpload to server, process remotely, store temporarily
ImagePDF.ToolsCompression, cropping, and metadata editing all run in your browser tab. Your images never leave your device.

This is intentional. We believe your images may be personal, confidential, or proprietary. No image tool should need to see them.

What we collect

  • Account info, your name and email address (from Clerk sign-in). Used solely for authentication and account identification.
  • Subscription status, whether you are on the Free or Pro plan. Stored in Clerk user metadata. No separate database.
  • Anonymous analytics, page views to understand which features are used, via Plausible Analytics. No personal identifiers, no cross-site tracking.

Why we process your data

We only process your data for the following purposes:

  • Account info, to authenticate you, manage your session, and send essential account-related emails (payment receipts, plan changes).
  • Subscription status, to gate Pro features (unlimited files, ZIP export, ad-free). This data is shown back to you in your account page.
  • Analytics, to understand product usage patterns and improve the app. No personal data is used for this.

What we do NOT do

  • We never upload your images to any server, cloud storage, or third-party service.
  • We never sell, rent, or share your data with third parties for any reason.
  • We never use your data to profile you, target ads, or build marketing segments.
