Privacy Policy

Effective date: January 1, 2025  ·  Last updated: January 1, 2025

SmallerImages.com is built on one principle: your files are yours. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, what we do not collect, and how this website operates with respect to your privacy. Please read it carefully. By using any tool on SmallerImages.com, you agree to the practices described here.

1. Who We Are

SmallerImages.com is a free, browser-based image conversion and compression toolkit. We provide 24 image converter tools covering PNG, WebP, JPEG, AVIF, HEIC, GIF, and BMP formats. Every tool on this website runs entirely inside your web browser. No image file is ever transmitted to our servers at any point.

2. Your Image Files. We Never See Them

This is the most important section of this policy. When you use any tool on SmallerImages.com:

  • Your image files are processed entirely on your own device using your browser’s built-in capabilities.
  • No image data is uploaded to any server operated by SmallerImages.com or any third party.
  • No copy of your images is stored, cached, logged, or retained anywhere outside your device.
  • When you close the browser tab or clear your session, all processed data is gone.

You can verify this yourself by disconnecting from the internet after the page loads. The tools continue to work because processing happens entirely in your browser, not on a remote server.

3. Information We Collect Automatically

Like most websites, SmallerImages.com collects basic, anonymized usage data through standard web server logs and analytics tools. This may include:

  • IP address. Used only for security monitoring and spam prevention, not linked to any personal identity.
  • Browser type and version. Used to understand which browsers our tools need to support.
  • Operating system. Used for compatibility analysis.
  • Pages visited and time spent. Used in aggregate to understand how people use the site and which tools are most useful.
  • Referring URL. The page you came from, if any, used to understand traffic sources.

None of this data is sold, rented, or shared with third parties for marketing purposes. It is used solely to operate, maintain, and improve this website.

4. Cookies

SmallerImages.com does not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or any cookie that identifies you personally. We may use basic functional cookies or local browser storage to remember your tool settings (such as your last selected quality value or preferred output format) within a single session. These are never used for tracking or advertising purposes.

5. Third-Party Services

We may use the following third-party services on this website:

  • Google Analytics. For anonymized, aggregate website traffic analysis. Google Analytics operates under its own privacy policy. We do not enable remarketing, advertising features, or any user-level tracking within our Google Analytics configuration.
  • Web hosting provider. Our hosting infrastructure may log standard request metadata (IP, browser, page requested) as part of normal server operation. These logs are not used for marketing and are retained only as long as operationally necessary.

We do not use advertising networks, retargeting pixels, affiliate tracking scripts, or any tool that profiles individual users.

6. Children’s Privacy

SmallerImages.com is a general-purpose utility website. We do not knowingly collect any information from children under the age of 13. If you believe a child has submitted personal information through this website, please contact us at [email protected] and we will take appropriate action.

7. Data Security

Because we do not receive or store your image files, the primary security risk of a traditional file-upload service does not apply here. For the limited site-operation data we do collect, we use industry-standard practices to protect it from unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse.

8. Links to Other Websites

SmallerImages.com may contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any website you visit.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as the website evolves. When we do, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. Continued use of SmallerImages.com after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
