Toolmio
Privacy and your images
How the image tools handle files and browser data.
Local image tools keep images on your device
Choosing, dropping or pasting an image gives this page access to that local file. Decoding, previews, cropping, combining, splitting, compression, format conversion and ZIP creation run in your browser. These four local tools do not upload original files, image previews, filenames or EXIF metadata to a server.
Cloud image processing
Starting background or watermark removal sends the selected image through our server to our cloud processing service providers. Our server re-encodes the image to remove metadata before upload, without storing the original persistently, and returns the processed result to your browser. These service providers may temporarily retain uploaded images and results under their own policies; we cannot promise deletion there after 10 minutes. Image contents are not recorded in our server logs. Account identifiers and job records are stored to verify credits, recover tasks and avoid duplicate charges.
Temporary recovery copies
Our database temporarily stores a copy of the processed result so the same request can retrieve it again within 10 minutes if delivery is interrupted. Expired recovery copies are cleared during later account-usage or processing requests; deletion does not happen at an exact 10-minute deadline. This recovery window does not describe upstream providers’ retention. This browser tab stores only the request ID, tool type and account ID in session storage to restore the correct task after refresh; it does not save images or filenames there. Save your downloaded result before closing the tab.
Temporary editing memory
Images and edit history are kept in this tab’s memory. Combine and split preserve their sessions when switching tools. Clear this tool removes its editing history; an active or failed combine or split export may still hold its snapshot until the task finishes or you dismiss it. Compression and conversion sessions clear when you leave their pages. Refreshing or closing the tab ends these temporary sessions.
Downloads and metadata
Downloads are generated locally and handed to your browser. Your browser controls where they are saved. Re-encoded images do not retain the original EXIF metadata; the displayed orientation is applied to the pixels. When compression keeps the original file because re-encoding did not reduce its size, that download retains the original metadata.
Accounts, usage and website requests
Signing in uses account and session data. The service stores subscription status, credit transactions and daily export counts; local export checks send a job identifier, not your images. Loading the website also requests scripts, fonts and site assets and reveals connection information such as an IP address to the web host. Preferences may use browser storage or cookies; image data is not stored in those preferences.
Account verification and Google sign-in
Resend delivers account verification and password reset emails to the address you provide. If you choose Google sign-in, we receive your Google account identifier, name, email address and profile picture to create or connect your account. We request only basic sign-in permissions. Cloudflare hosts the service, and Neon stores account and session records. Registration does not subscribe you to marketing emails.
Optional usage analytics
When enabled, Google Analytics measures page visits, tool usage, import and export outcomes, processing time, sign-in and checkout steps. Google may use analytics cookies and receives connection information such as your IP address. Our events exclude images, filenames, image metadata, email addresses, account identifiers and URL query parameters. We honor browser Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control signals. Session replay, advertising personalization, affiliate tracking and chat tracking remain disabled.
