Privacy Policy

LiteImage is built with privacy as a core principle. Unlike traditional image compression services that require uploading your files to servers, LiteImage processes all images entirely within your web browser using JavaScript and Web APIs.

This approach ensures that your images, personal data, and usage patterns remain completely private. Your files never leave your device, and we have no way to access, view, or store your images.

LiteImage does not collect, store, or transmit:

• Your images: All image processing happens in your browser. Your files never leave your device.
• Personal information: No names, email addresses, or account creation required.
• File metadata: We don't see EXIF data, filenames, or file contents.
• Usage patterns: We don't track what images you compress or how often you use the service.
• Device information: No fingerprinting or device identification.

When you upload images to LiteImage, the following happens entirely in your browser:

1. Images are loaded into your browser's memory using the File API
2. JavaScript libraries process and compress the images using Web Workers
3. Compressed results are generated and stored temporarily in browser memory
4. You download the results directly from your browser
5. All data is automatically cleared when you close the browser tab

At no point during this process do your images or data leave your device or get transmitted to our servers or any third-party services.
