The short version
Your images are processed by your own browser and are never sent to us. PixelEditor sets no cookies, runs no analytics, has no accounts and no database, and loads nothing from third-party servers. There is no upload endpoint, because there is no server-side processing at all.
What we cannot honestly claim is that nothing whatsoever is recorded anywhere. Serving a web page requires a web server, and web servers keep request logs. That is described in full below rather than glossed over.
What happens to your images
Every tool on this site runs inside the page you have open. When you select or drag an image in, the file is read into your browser tab’s memory and decoded there. Resizing, cropping, rotating, compressing, converting and metadata removal are performed by your browser’s own graphics and encoding functions, on your device’s processor. Heavier work is handed to a Web Worker, which is simply a background thread in the same browser tab.
The result is turned back into a file in the page, and the download is produced from that in-memory file. ZIP archives for the batch tools are assembled in the page in the same way.
No image, and no part of an image, is transmitted to PixelEditor or to anyone else by this site. There is no code in the site that sends file data anywhere: no upload request, no background reporting, no telemetry about your files. Images are not written to cookies, local storage, session storage, IndexedDB, or any cache under our control.
Your files exist only for as long as the page holds them. Reloading the page, closing the tab, or loading a different image releases them. Nothing persists between visits, which is also why no tool can show you a history of what you processed earlier.
What data we collect
PixelEditor operates no accounts, no sign-in, no forms, no newsletter, no comment system and no user database. We do not ask for your name, your email address or any other personal detail in order to use any tool. There is nothing for us to store about you, and nothing we could sell or share, because none of it is collected in the first place.
The site does not send any information about your use of the tools — which pages you opened, which settings you chose, how many files you processed — to us or to anyone else.
What the web host can see
This is the part most “100% private” claims leave out, so it is stated plainly. The pages, stylesheets, fonts and JavaScript files that make up this site have to be downloaded from a web server before anything can run. Like essentially every web server in existence, the hosting provider that serves those files can record standard request information, typically including:
- your IP address;
- the date and time of the request;
- the page or file requested;
- your browser’s user-agent string, and sometimes the referring page.
These logs concern the delivery of the web page itself. They do not contain your images, because your images are never part of any request. We do not use such logs for profiling, advertising or analytics, and the retention period is determined by the hosting provider rather than by us.
If you would like to reduce even that footprint, the practical answer is the usual one: a VPN or privacy-respecting network changes what the host sees about your connection. Once the page has loaded, you can disconnect from the internet entirely and the tools will continue to work.
Third parties
Loading a page of this site does not cause requests to any third-party domain. In particular:
- Fonts are self-hosted. They are downloaded and served from this site at build time, so no font provider receives a request or an IP address when you visit.
- No third-party scripts. No tag manager, advertising network, social widget, chat widget, CAPTCHA or embedded video.
- No content delivery network for third-party libraries. The image-parsing and ZIP libraries the tools use are bundled into this site and loaded from this site’s own address, on demand, the first time a tool needs them.
Two parties are unavoidably involved in any website: the hosting provider that serves these files, and your own browser, which does the image processing. Your browser is software you control, and it is the only thing that ever sees your images.
If you email us
If you contact us at support@mrmanager.me, we will have your email address and whatever you choose to put in the message, held in an ordinary email account so that we can reply. We do not add correspondents to a mailing list and we do not use messages for marketing.
Please do not send us your images. We have no need for them, no tool on this site requires them, and email is not a private channel.
Security and its limits
Processing images locally removes the largest risk in an online image tool — the risk of a server holding your files and that server being breached, subpoenaed, sold or misconfigured. There is no such server here and no stored copy to lose.
It does not make your device secure, and we will not claim otherwise. We cannot make guarantees about:
- software on your own device — malware, a compromised browser, a screen-capturing extension or an extension with permission to read page content;
- your browser’s own behaviour, including its handling of downloads and its cache of site files;
- a network operator or intermediary observing that you requested pages from this domain, which is visible at the connection level even over HTTPS;
- what happens to a processed file after you download and share it.
No website can honestly promise absolute security or complete anonymity, and this one does not. For genuinely sensitive material, handle it the way you would handle any sensitive file: on a device you trust, with software you have checked.
Your rights
Data-protection laws such as the UK GDPR, the EU GDPR and the CCPA give you rights over personal data held about you — to access it, correct it, delete it, or object to its use. Those rights are easy to satisfy here because we hold almost nothing: no account, no profile, no image, no usage history.
The exceptions are the hosting provider’s server logs described above, and any email you have sent us. If you believe those contain data about you and you want to ask about it, write to support@mrmanager.me and we will do what we reasonably can, bearing in mind that we cannot identify which log entries belong to you unless you can tell us.
Children
PixelEditor is a general-purpose utility and is not directed at children. Because it collects no personal information from anyone, it collects none from children either.
Changes to this policy
If the site changes in a way that affects this policy — if analytics were ever added, or a feature that stores preferences on your device — this page will be updated before or at the same time as that change, and the date at the top will move.
This policy describes the site as it currently stands. It is not a promise about future versions, and we would rather revise it honestly than leave a flattering description in place.
