Images and local processing
ScreenReady is a free, independently operated toolkit. When you select, paste or drop a supported image into a tool, image contents, filenames and image metadata are processed locally in your browser. Our image-processing features do not intentionally upload image contents or filenames to our servers. They use browser memory and temporary local resources rather than an image-storage service. No account is required, and editable projects are not saved for later visits. Download your result before leaving the page.
How does local editing work?
The editor uses browser-native decoding and Canvas for cropping, resizing, permanent pixel redaction and annotations. The original decoded image stays intact during the session. Redaction and annotations are flattened locally for preview. Downloads and clipboard copying use freshly rendered pixels rather than original encoded bytes, so original EXIF, GPS, XMP and thumbnails are not copied. Browser encoders may add standard metadata; visible identifying content is separate. Supported inputs are limited to 15 MiB, 20 megapixels and 8,192 pixels per side; animated images are rejected.
Hosting and normal website requests
ScreenReady is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Loading pages, code and other website assets involves normal network requests to Cloudflare. Cloudflare may process technical request information, including IP addresses, to deliver and protect the website. Local image processing does not eliminate these website requests. Cloudflare handles information under its documented practices; see the Cloudflare Privacy Policy.
Collections and PDF exports
Batch conversion, screenshot stitching and image-to-PDF use independently selected files and do not inherit an editor session's edits or redactions. Export a safely redacted image first, then select that export in another tool. Collection tools use stricter limits shown in each workspace, decode images serially and discard temporary pixel buffers. Image PDFs embed freshly rendered, compressed RGB pixels rather than original files or private source metadata. Batch filenames can be derived from source names; check names as well as visible content before sharing. Thumbnails, generated previews and download links use temporary local resources that are released when no longer needed. Native browser encoding and operating-system memory behaviour may still impose additional limits.
Cloudflare Web Analytics
We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to measure website traffic and performance and understand how the site is used. Analytics may include visits, page views, visited page paths and referring sites, browser and operating-system information, device type, approximate geographic information such as country, and page-loading and performance measurements.
Website analytics and local image processing are separate activities. The analytics integration measures website usage and performance; our image-processing features do not intentionally send image contents or filenames as analytics events. Cloudflare receives and handles telemetry according to its documented practices. See its Web Analytics data and metrics documentation, analytics dimensions and data collection documentation for details. These third-party practices may change.
Future advertising: Google AdSense preparation
We are preparing Google AdSense for ScreenReady. Our site is currently under AdSense review, and advertisements are not currently active. Advertising and consent scripts are not currently integrated into the website. European Privacy Consent and US Privacy Choices messages have been published in AdSense; their privacy-choice mechanisms are being prepared for website integration and are not yet available on this site.
If advertising is enabled, third-party vendors, including Google and its advertising partners, may place and read cookies and use web beacons, IP addresses and other identifiers to deliver ads, measure advertising performance and support advertising services. Google's advertising cookies may enable Google and its partners to show advertisements based on your prior visits to ScreenReady and other websites. Some advertisements may be personalized depending on your consent, your settings and applicable regulations.
You can manage Google's personalized advertising preferences through Google My Ad Center. For details about Google's data practices, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and Google's advertising technologies and controls. You can also visit the Digital Advertising Alliance's opt-out tool for choices offered by participating third-party advertising companies. These controls have their own scope and limitations; opting out of personalized advertising does not necessarily stop advertisements or all advertising-related data processing.
Website advertising, website analytics and browser-local image processing are separate activities. Preparing for advertising does not change how the image tools process your selected images locally. Image contents, filenames and image metadata selected in the tools are not provided to Google or its advertising partners by our image-processing features. Before enabling advertising, we will review this policy and the website's consent and privacy-choice integration to reflect the advertising services and providers actually used.
Support and privacy questions
Contact [email protected] for support or privacy questions. If you email us, your email address, message and any attachments are handled by the email providers involved so we can read and respond to your enquiry. Only send information needed to explain the issue; avoid sending sensitive images or private details. Email attachments are separate from images selected in the local tools.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the website or its service providers change. Review this page for the current explanation of our practices.
