Privacy Policy

Last updated: 20 October 2026

Overview

SquashImg is a free, browser-based tool that compresses, resizes, and crops images on your device. This policy explains what happens when you use the site at the published SquashImg origin (and any future domain for the same product).

In short: processing runs locally in your browser. We do not operate a cloud image API, we do not require accounts, and we do not show ads.

What we process — and what we don’t

We do not receive your image files for compression, resize, or crop. When you drop or select files, decoding and encoding happen in your browser using client-side APIs (including createImageBitmap and canvas toBlob). Image bytes are not uploaded to SquashImg servers as part of the tool flow.

We do not ask you to create an account. We do not collect names, email addresses, or payment details through this product — there is no checkout and no paid plan.

We do not sell personal data. We do not use advertising networks on this site.

Local processing

Compression quality, resize dimensions, social crop presets, and downloads are handled on the device running your browser. Output files (or a ZIP for batches) are generated locally and saved through your browser’s normal download mechanism.

Optional preferences — such as quality, output format, language (squashimg-lang-v1), tool mode, and whether to auto-download a single file — may be stored in your browser’s localStorage so they persist between visits on that same browser and device. You can clear them by clearing site data in your browser settings.

Hosting and network logs

The site is a static site hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Like most websites, requesting pages, scripts, styles, and public assets may create standard edge or access logs at the hosting/CDN layer (for example IP address, user agent, URL path, and timestamps). Those logs are used for operating and securing the delivery of the site.

We do not use hosting logs to inspect or reconstruct the content of images you process, because those images are not sent to us for processing.

Cookies and local storage

SquashImg does not rely on third-party advertising cookies. We may use browser localStorage (and similar browser storage) for preferences described above. If Cloudflare or the browser itself sets strictly technical cookies for delivery or security, that is outside the image tool and is not used by us to track image content.

Analytics

We do not run third-party analytics (such as Google Analytics or Plausible) on this site at the time of this update. If that ever changes, we will update this policy before enabling it.

Third-party scripts and sample files

Processing runs with browser APIs and same-origin vendor scripts (for example JSZip) bundled with the site, not loaded from unrelated third-party ad or tracker domains for the core tool.

Files under /samples/ are public demo assets we publish so you can try the tool. They are not user uploads and should not be treated as private.

Children

SquashImg is a general-purpose utility. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Because processing is local and we do not require accounts, we do not solicit such information through the product.

International users

The product UI defaults to English. Choosing 中文 stores a language preference locally in your browser. We do not use language preference to profile you beyond serving the UI you selected on that device.

Changes

We may update this policy as the product evolves. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised policy.

Optional feedback form. If you use the floating Feedback button, we store the email address you enter, your message, which SquashImg site you came from, the page URL, a basic browser user-agent string, and the time of submission in our database so we can read and respond. Tool file processing still runs locally in your browser and is separate from this form. 中文：若你使用右下角「反馈」按钮，我们会保存你填写的邮箱、反馈内容、来源站点、页面地址、浏览器信息和提交时间，便于回复；工具本身的文件处理仍在本地完成。

Contact

For privacy questions about SquashImg, contact the SqueezeCodex team via the channels published with the product portfolio (for example product launch pages or the operator’s public contact). Do not send sensitive image files to us — the tool is designed so you never need to.
