Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 17, 2026

The short version: Your images never leave your browser. We don't store, access, or transmit your files.

Analytics

We use Fathom Analytics to understand how visitors use Pixotter. Fathom is a privacy-focused analytics provider. It collects no personal data, uses no cookies, and tracks only aggregate page views and referrer information. No individual is identified or tracked across sessions. Your visit is not tied to any profile.

Client-side processing

All core image tools — compress, resize, convert, crop, watermark, rotate, metadata, and image-to-PDF — process entirely in your browser using a WebAssembly image engine. Images are never uploaded to our servers. The processing engine downloads once to your device and runs locally. We have no technical ability to access images you process with these tools.

AI tools

Background removal and upscaling are AI-powered tools that require server processing. When you use these tools, your image is sent to our processing server over an encrypted connection. The image is processed immediately and deleted — it is never stored, logged, or accessed by us. We retain no copy of the image content. This is stated on each AI tool page.

Website audit tool

The website audit tool fetches publicly available images from a URL you provide. No image data is cached beyond your active session. The tool respects robots.txt directives. We do not retain any URLs or images fetched through this tool.

API

The Pixotter API processes images on our servers. Images are deleted immediately after processing. Logs retain metadata — file size, operations performed, and timestamps — but never the image content itself. API keys are associated with your account; processing logs are tied to the key, not to image data.

Local storage

We store the following in your browser's localStorage:

Theme preference (light or dark mode)
Custom presets you create
Usage statistics (images processed, operations run) — used for the live counter display
Session history (recent pipeline configurations)

This data never leaves your device. It is not transmitted to us. You can clear it at any time by clearing your browser's local storage for pixotter.com.

No cookies

We don't use cookies. Fathom Analytics is cookie-free. We do not set any tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or session cookies. The site works fully without accepting any cookies.

No account required

You can use all free features without creating an account. No email address, name, or personal information is required to use Pixotter's core tools.
