Privacy Policy & Data Principles
Effective Date: January 1, 2026
Core Product Guarantee: Your images never leave your computer.
PixelForge does not maintain file servers, database storage, image ingestion pipelines, or external API relays.
1. Client-Side Image Execution
When you drag and drop an image into PixelForge, your operating system passes a direct file handle to your web browser via the standard HTML5 File and FileReader APIs. The image is decoded and drawn directly onto an in-memory <canvas> element allocated within your device RAM.
2. No Uploads or Cloud Transmission
Zero bytes of graphical payload or binary image data are transmitted across any network boundary. You can disconnect your internet connection entirely after loading any tool page, and PixelForge will continue to compress, resize, crop, and convert your files with identical performance.
3. Local Storage Preferences
We store simple user interface preferences (such as your chosen Light/Dark theme and your list of recently accessed tools) in your browser's standard localStorage. This data never leaves your device.
4. Analytics & Cookies
We do not use intrusive advertising cookies, device fingerprinting, or tracking pixels.
