Image Privacy FAQ

Answers about browser-based processing, uploads, storage, accounts, AI training and safe handling of private image files.

Are images uploaded to ImgShrink?

ImgShrink image tools process selected files in the browser. They do not need to upload your images to an application server.

Are images stored on a server?

ImgShrink does not provide user accounts, image history or server-side image storage for its browser tools.

How long are images retained?

The tools work with files in your browser session. ImgShrink does not keep a server-side copy for later retrieval.

Can other people access my images?

Images selected in the browser are not published by ImgShrink. You should still be careful with shared devices, downloads and files you upload elsewhere afterward.

Are images used to train AI models?

ImgShrink does not use files selected in its browser tools for AI model training.

Is it safe to compress private images online?

For private images, prefer tools that process files locally in the browser and avoid uploading images to services you do not trust.

Can I process sensitive images with ImgShrink?

ImgShrink is designed around browser-based processing, but you should follow your own privacy requirements for highly sensitive personal, legal or business files.

Does image compression change the original file?

No. ImgShrink creates a processed download. Your original local file is not overwritten unless you choose to replace it yourself.

Can I use ImgShrink without creating an account?

Yes. ImgShrink image tools do not require a user account, login, payment flow or saved workspace.

What happens to my image after processing?

You download the processed result from your browser. Close the page when you are done and manage downloaded files on your own device.
