PRIVACY POLICY

1. Introduction

At ConvertImageToPixelArt.com (referred to as "we", "our", or "the Service"), accessible at https://convertimagetopixelart.com, the privacy of our visitors is one of our primary priorities. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of information that is collected and recorded by ConvertImageToPixelArt.com and how we use it.

If you have additional questions or require more information about our Privacy Policy, do not hesitate to contact us through our dedicated Contact Page or via email at [email protected].

2. Image Processing & Local Storage

Unlike conventional image converters that send files to remote cloud servers for heavy rendering:

• Zero Server Uploads: When you drag, drop, or select an image file (PNG, JPG, WEBP), the file is read locally using the browser’s standard FileReader and CanvasRenderingContext2D APIs.
• Local Execution: Quantization, dithering, palette extraction, and scaling algorithms execute solely on your machine's CPU/GPU.
• No Data Retention: As soon as you close your browser tab or reload the window, all image data loaded into session RAM is permanently purged. We possess no copies, logs, or archives of your source files or exported pixel art.

3. Log Files & Server Metrics

Like most modern websites, ConvertImageToPixelArt.com uses standard server log files. The information inside the log files includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamp, referring/exit pages, and possibly the number of clicks. These are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable. The purpose of this information is for analyzing trends, administering the site, tracking users' movement around the website, and gathering demographic information to maintain infrastructure reliability and defend against denial-of-service threats.

4. Cookies & Web Beacons

However, third-party partners and service providers (including advertising networks and analytics tools) may place cookies on your browser to measure service efficiency and provide relevant contextual advertisements.
