Does PixZeno upload my photo?

No. Compression, resizing, conversion, cropping, social export, PDF, favicons, dimensions, and both metadata tools run in the browser. The host still logs the page request, which does not include the picture.

Can a photo’s location be read here?

Only on your device, and only when the file actually contains GPS tags. The viewer shows them on the page. They are not sent to PixZeno. Use Remove metadata if you want a copy without those blocks.

Do you keep the images I used?

Not on the server. This browser can hold up to 10 files, about 50 MB, so the next tool can reuse them. The footer button deletes that copy. PixZeno cannot return it later.

What does the contact form store?

The name, email, message, and language are emailed to help@pixzeno.com. A session cookie protects the form. Repeated attempts are counted with a hash of the network address for about an hour. The form does not take files.

Are analytics running?

No. Nothing is recorded about tool use until an analytics script is deliberately added. Even then, the planned events are tool name, outcome, and language, not the file or its metadata.

Privacy at PixZeno — what happens to your images

The photo stays on the device

Compress, resize, HEIC to JPG, converting JPG, PNG, and WebP, crop, social sizes, image to PDF, removing metadata, reading metadata, the favicon package, and the dimensions check all run in the browser. PixZeno does not receive the image bytes for those tools. It does not receive the file name, and it does not receive the EXIF block, including a location if the photo has one.

That is why there is no upload progress bar and no “your file is being scanned” animation. The browser reads the file, draws or rewrites it, and hands you a download. When you close the tab, that working copy in memory is gone. PixZeno has no account that could store it, and no library of customer photos on the server.

A sentence like “your files never leave your device” would be too wide. Opening the website is itself a request. The next sections say what that request contains, and what it does not.

What the host still sees

PixZeno is a normal website in front of the tools. When your browser asks for a page, the host and its network see the usual facts of that request: the IP address, the time, the browser string, and the address of the page, such as the compressor or the Arabic homepage. They can also see that a CSS or JavaScript file was fetched. They cannot see the picture you then open inside the tool, because that file is never attached to a request.

Those logs are how a host notices abuse and keeps the site up. PixZeno does not use them to build a profile of your photos. They are also not something this page can switch off. If you need a visit to leave no network trace at all, a website cannot offer that. The part PixZeno controls is the photo itself.

A temporary copy in this browser

If you finish one tool and open another, PixZeno can keep the current images in this browser so you do not choose them again. The store is IndexedDB, on the device, under a database named pixzeno. The limit is 10 files or about 50 MB. The footer button deletes that copy. Closing the site does not send it anywhere.

This is a convenience, not a backup. PixZeno cannot restore it if you clear the browser, and nobody at PixZeno can open it. Another person using the same browser profile on a shared computer could see that a file is waiting. Delete it from the footer when you are done, especially on a computer that is not yours.

Metadata and location

A JPG from a phone can carry more than pixels: camera make, lens, exposure, the time the photo was taken, and sometimes GPS. The metadata viewer reads those values in the browser and prints them on the page. They are inserted as text, not as HTML that could run. They are not posted to PixZeno, and they are not included in any analytics event.

The remover strips the extra blocks from JPG, PNG, and WebP and then reads the file again before it says the tags are gone. The pixels are not recompressed for that job. If a tag is still there, the tool does not pretend otherwise. HEIC converted to JPG does not keep the original metadata. There is no switch that claims it does.

Screenshots, chat apps, and many social downloads have already dropped this information. An empty location section means this file did not contain a readable GPS tag. It does not mean every earlier copy of the photo, on a phone or in a message, is clean.

If you write to us

The contact form is the one place that sends something you typed to PixZeno. The fields are your name, your email, the message, and the language of the page. That message is emailed to help@pixzeno.com. It is not used to train a model. The form does not accept an image, and it should not be used for passport scans, identity numbers, or map coordinates.

Opening the contact page sets a short-lived session cookie. It is HttpOnly and SameSite=Lax, and it exists so a forged page cannot submit the form for you. The other tools do not need that cookie. A hidden field catches simple bots. If many messages arrive from the same network, the server keeps a hash of the address and the times of the attempts, for about an hour, and then stops accepting more. The stored record is the hash and the timestamps, not a dossier.

Email is not a sealed box. Once the message reaches the inbox, it is ordinary mail on the host that provides the mailbox. Delete anything sensitive from your own sent folder if you included more than you meant to.

Theme, language, and measurement

The color theme, if you change it, is stored in localStorage on this device under the key pixzeno-theme. Language is the page you opened. PixZeno does not redirect you from your IP address, and it does not set a language cookie.

Analytics is off. No measurement script is loaded unless the site owner adds one later. If that happens, the events are the name of the tool, whether the action finished, and the language. They are not the image, not the file name, and not the metadata. Until that script exists, those events are discarded in the browser.

There is no service worker and no offline cache of pages. A cache that stored the wrong language, or that implied the tools worked with no network at all, would be a worse privacy story than a page that simply loads.

What this page will not dress up

There is no account, so there is no password, no profile, and no list of past exports on a server. Advertising is separate from the photo and is described below. SVG files are refused rather than rendered, because an SVG can contain script. Future tools that need a server, such as some kinds of AI editing, are not part of this version. If one is added, its page will say that the file is sent, and this privacy text will be updated to match. It will not borrow the local-processing description from the tools that stay in the browser.

Advertising

Google AdSense may show ads on PixZeno. Google and its advertising partners use cookies to serve ads based on this visit and on visits to other sites. Personalized ads can be turned off at https://adssettings.google.com/ . Google explains how it uses data from sites that show its ads at https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads . The photo is still processed in the browser and is not sent to Google as a file. Questions about this can go to help@pixzeno.com.

Who to ask

The public name of the site is PixZeno. Privacy questions can go to help@pixzeno.com or through the contact page. A postal address and a registered company are not printed here. If a law that applies to you requires that address, it should be added by the operator before relying on this page as a legal notice. This text describes the software as it runs. It is not a lawyer’s opinion.
