Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 06, 2026
FileToolsHQ.com ("we," "us," or "our") operates filetoolshq.com. This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you visit this site and how it's used.
Your files are never uploaded
This is the core design principle of FileToolsHQ.com: every tool on this site — the Image Resizer, Image Compressor, Image Converter, and PDF to Images converter — processes your files entirely within your own web browser, using the HTML5 Canvas API and the pdf.js library. Your images and PDFs are read from your device, transformed locally, and made available for you to download, all without ever being transmitted to our servers or any third party. We have no way to see, store, or access the contents of files you process with these tools.
Information we collect
Because file processing happens entirely on your device, we do not receive or store the files you upload into any tool on this site. Like most websites, we may automatically collect standard technical information through server logs and analytics tools, including your IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, and pages visited. This information is used in aggregate to understand site usage and is not used to personally identify you.
Cookies and advertising
This site may display advertisements served by Google AdSense and other third-party advertising networks. These networks may use cookies, device identifiers, or similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites.
You can learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services, and how to opt out of personalized advertising, at policies.google.com/technologies/ads. You can also manage ad personalization settings directly at adssettings.google.com.
We do not control the cookies set by third-party ad networks, and this Privacy Policy does not apply to their practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party ad providers.
Third-party libraries loaded from a CDN
The PDF to Images tool loads the open-source pdf.js library from a third-party content delivery network (CDN) so your browser can render PDF pages. Loading this script may expose your IP address and browser information to that CDN provider, in the same way any external script or font would. Your actual PDF file content is not sent to the CDN — only the library code is downloaded from it.
Analytics
We may use privacy-respecting analytics tools to understand aggregate traffic patterns (such as page views and general geographic region). This data is used only to improve the site and is not sold or shared with third parties beyond standard analytics and advertising providers described above.
Children's privacy
This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights under laws such as the GDPR (EU/UK) or CCPA (California) regarding data collected about you, including the right to access, delete, or opt out of the sale/sharing of your data. Since this site does not collect or store the files you process, or other personally identifiable information beyond standard analytics/advertising cookies, most requests should be directed to the relevant third-party provider (e.g., Google) using the links above.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
