Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 14, 2026

Your images stay on your device

Image4k processes every image entirely inside your web browser. Your images are never uploaded to our servers or any third party, and we never see, store or share them. When you close or reload the page, the images and results are gone.

Metadata

Images you download from Image4k are re-encoded, which removes embedded metadata such as EXIF camera data and GPS location. (In the Compress tool, if your original file is already smaller than any result, the original file is offered unchanged and keeps its metadata.)

Third-party resources

• Google Fonts — the page font is loaded from Google Fonts, which receives your IP address and browser information when the font is requested.
• AI engines — the first time you use AI upscaling or the background remover, the AI engine is downloaded from cdn.jsdelivr.net (and, for the background remover, the model from huggingface.co). Only program and model files are downloaded; your images are never sent anywhere. The files are cached by your browser for later visits.

Local storage

We save your tool preferences (for example your chosen format or quality) in your browser's local storage so they are remembered next time. You can clear this at any time from your browser settings.

Cookies and analytics

Image4k does not set cookies and does not use analytics or advertising trackers.

Children

Image4k does not knowingly collect any personal information from anyone, including children.

Changes

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new date.
