Privacy Policy

Last updated: 8 May 2026

Summary

ReduceImages.online processes images directly in your browser for all standard tools — your image is never uploaded to our server. We do, however, run two third-party services on this site that collect data: Google AdSense for advertising and Google Analytics for usage statistics. This page explains what they collect, why, and how to opt out.

1. Who runs this site

ReduceImages.online is operated by Noor Ahmad Haral as an independent project. There is no parent company, no investor, and no third-party platform behind the site. You can read more on the About page and contact the operator directly via the Contact page or at support@reduceimages.online.

2. Information we do NOT collect

Your images. Every standard tool on this site (compressors, resizers, format converters, croppers, censors, pixelators, meme generator) processes your image entirely in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API and JavaScript. The image data never leaves your device, is never transmitted to our server, and is not visible to us or any third party.

The single exception is the optional ChatGPT integration. When that integration is used, the image is sent to a server-side endpoint for in-memory compression and is permanently discarded immediately after the response is returned. We do not log, store, or share images sent to that endpoint.

3. Information we DO collect

  • Anonymous usage statistics via Google Analytics: pages viewed, time on page, browser type, approximate location (country / region), and referrer. This data is aggregated and does not identify individual users.
  • Advertising-related cookies set by Google AdSense (see Section 4 below).
  • Email addresses you submit voluntarily — for example, when you contact us via the contact form. These are used only to reply to your message and are not added to any mailing list.

4. Google AdSense and advertising cookies

We display advertisements on this site through Google AdSense. Google is a third-party vendor that uses cookies to serve advertisements based on your prior visits to this site and other websites on the internet. Specifically:

  • Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your prior visits to ReduceImages.online and other sites.
  • You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
  • You may also opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
  • Advertising cookies are never used in connection with the image-processing tools on this site. The image data and the advertising layer are completely separate.

5. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors find and use this site. Google Analytics may set cookies that record an anonymous identifier, page-view events, and high-level demographic signals. We have not enabled Google Signals, advertising features, or user-ID linkage. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

6. Cookies on this site

Two categories of cookies may be set in your browser when you visit this site:

  • Strictly functional — these support core site functionality. None of the standard image tools rely on cookies.
  • Third-party advertising and analytics — set by Google AdSense and Google Analytics, as described above.

Most browsers let you block, delete, or restrict cookies in their privacy settings. Doing so may affect personalised advertising but will not affect the image tools — those run regardless of your cookie choices.

7. Your rights under GDPR / CCPA

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or California, you have specific data-protection rights including the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal data, and to object to processing or lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

Because we do not store your images and do not maintain user accounts, in practice the personal data we hold about you is limited to whatever you have voluntarily emailed us and the anonymous analytics signals described above. To exercise any data right, contact support@reduceimages.online and we will respond within 30 days.

8. Children's privacy

This service is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal information to us, contact us and we will delete it.

9. Data retention

Image data: not retained (processed in your browser, never uploaded). Contact-form messages: retained as long as needed to handle the conversation, then deleted. Analytics data: retained according to Google Analytics defaults (typically 14 months).

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when we add new features, change advertising or analytics partners, or to reflect new legal requirements. Changes take effect when posted. Material changes will be summarised at the top of the page. The date below reflects the latest revision.
