Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2026-04-22
Short version: makepicsmall is a browser-based image compressor. Your images are compressed on your own device using WebAssembly. We never upload, store, or transmit the images you drop into the tool. There is no server to send them to.
What we do not collect
- We do not upload your images anywhere. Compression runs 100% in your browser.
- We do not require an account, email, or login.
- We do not use advertising cookies or cross-site trackers.
- We do not sell, rent, or share any data about you.
What is collected automatically
makepicsmall is served through Cloudflare, which acts
as our CDN. When your browser requests a page from
makepicsmall.com, Cloudflare processes standard HTTP
request metadata — your IP address, user-agent string, referring URL,
and the path requested — in order to serve the page and protect the
site from abuse. Cloudflare retains this metadata per
their own privacy policy.
We do not have access to identifiable logs from Cloudflare beyond
aggregate traffic counts.
We plan to enable Cloudflare Web Analytics (or Plausible) for aggregate, privacy-preserving traffic measurement. Both set no cookies and do not identify individual users.
Cookies
makepicsmall does not set any first-party cookies. If a third-party analytics provider is enabled in the future, it will be a cookie-less provider.
Your rights (GDPR, UK GDPR, PIPEDA, CCPA)
Because we do not collect personal data tied to you, there is generally nothing on our side to access, export, correct, or delete. If you believe we hold information about you and you want to exercise a right under GDPR, UK GDPR, PIPEDA, or CCPA — including the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, or portability — email us at hello@makepicsmall.com and we will respond within 30 days.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority (for EU residents, your national DPA; for UK residents, the ICO; for Canadians, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner).
Children
The service is not directed at children under 13. We knowingly collect no information from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the site evolves. The "last updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent revision.
