Security & privacy

ExactPic is built so that your photos never leave your device. This page explains exactly how that works and — more importantly — how you can verify it yourself instead of taking our word for it.

How local processing works

When you open a tool and select an image, the file is loaded into an in-memory canvaselement in your browser. All resizing, compression, and format conversion run on that canvas using your device's own CPU. The resulting file is created in memory and offered to you as a download. Your image is not sent to an ExactPicserver for processing. You can confirm this in your browser's Network tab — there is no outgoing request carrying your file after the page loads.

The site itself is a set of static files served from a CDN. Loading a page transfers only the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript needed to run the tool. After that, the tools work entirely offline. Our Content-Security-Policy header limits which third-party domains the page can connect to — primarily Google Analytics when enabled — which you can inspect in the response headers.

How to verify it yourself

You do not have to trust this claim. Here are two independent ways to check:

1. Watch the Network panel.Open your browser's developer tools (F12 or right-click → Inspect), switch to the Network tab, then compress or convert an image. You will see the page assets load, but no request that uploads your image. There is no large outgoing request carrying the file.
2. Disconnect from the internet. Load any tool page, then turn off Wi-Fi or unplug the network. Select an image and run the tool — it still works, because everything happens locally. A tool that secretly uploaded your file could not function offline.

What we do and do not collect

• We do not receive, store, or transmit your images, filenames, or image metadata.

We do not currently run client-side analytics on this site.

If we enable GA4 in the future, this page will be updated before it goes live.

• Our CDN may log standard request data such as IP address and browser type — the same as any website — but never the contents of your files.

Honest limitations

We want to be clear about what ExactPic is not:

• It is not an official government or passport service. Meeting a KB, pixel, or format requirement does not guarantee your photo will be accepted — many portals also check head position, background color, or expression, which are your responsibility to get right.
• It cannot repair a corrupted source file or add detail that was never captured. Compressing to a very small size will reduce visible quality.
• Requirements on third-party portals change without notice. Always confirm the current limits on the official form before you upload.

Who runs ExactPic
