Your privacy, in plain words.
The short version: by default, your images never leave your device.
Your images stay with you
Pixasur's tools do their work inside your own browser. The compressor decodes, resizes, and re-encodes every file locally using WebAssembly. The background remover downloads an AI model to your browser once and runs it on your own hardware. In both cases your images arenever uploaded by default. You can check this yourself. Open your browser's developer tools, watch the Network tab, and process an image. You will not see an upload request.
The one exception: Refine
The background remover has an optional Refine button for a sharper, full-resolution cutout. When you press it, and only then, that single photo is sent over HTTPS to our server, which passes it to our image-processing provider (Cloudflare) to run a higher-quality model. The result comes straight back to your browser. We do not keep a copy of your photo or the result; a temporary copy created during processing is deleted as soon as the cutout is made. If you never press Refine, nothing is ever uploaded.
To keep the feature free and fend off abuse, our server keeps a short-lived counter of Refine requests per network address. It stores a number, not your images, and it expires on its own.
No account needed
There is no sign-up and no login, because we never handle your files in the first place. You open the page and use the tool. That is the whole flow.
Metadata is removed
Re-encoding an image drops its metadata, including EXIF data, camera details, and GPS location. The copies you download are clean, with none of that baked in.
What we can and cannot see
Because everything runs locally by default, we have no way to see your images, their contents, their file names, or how many you process. There is nothing on our side to leak, subpoena, or sell.
Cookies and analytics
Right now the only thing the site keeps on your device is your light or dark theme preference and a cached copy of the background-removal model, both stored in your browser. We may use privacy-friendly analytics to understand which features people use so we can improve the tools. Any analytics like that only ever looks at aggregate, anonymous usage. It never includes your images or anything inside them.
Fonts and assets
Fonts and code are served from the same place as the site and cached by your browser, so the tools keep working quickly on repeat visits. The background-removal model is fetched from Hugging Face's public CDN the first time you use that tool, then cached locally.
Have a question about how any of this works? The FAQ covers the common ones, the whole tool is open to inspection in your browser, and you can always reach us on the contact page.
