LocalCLEAR BY DESIGN
Private images.
Plain explanations.
Your images stay in your browser
Image bytes, thumbnails, filenames and photo metadata are not sent to our servers. Browser decoding and WebAssembly encoding run in a Web Worker on your device. There is no server conversion fallback and no account.
The website still uses the network
Statistics are enabled only after you accept. Your choice is saved in this browser. You can change it or withdraw consent at any time using Cookie settings in the footer. Your browser downloads the website and conversion modules. Google Analytics 4 measures visits and selection, conversion and download events. Google receives request and device information and uses analytics cookies to distinguish visits. Images, filenames and photo metadata are never included in these events. Advertising personalization and session recording are not enabled.
Metadata and color
Conversion applies the source orientation, then creates a new file without source EXIF, GPS or XMP metadata. Pixels are processed in sRGB. Browser color handling may vary. CMYK JPEGs and animated images are rejected. We do not promise professional print color fidelity.
What is retained
Files and converted results are kept in the current page's memory so you can download or convert again. We do not save images in browser storage or a cloud history. Clear all removes them from the workspace; refresh or leaving the page loses them. Browser memory is reclaimed on its own schedule. Files you explicitly download remain on your device.
Your language choice is saved in this browser’s local storage and restored on future visits. A language specified in the page URL takes priority. Switching language does not upload or discard your images.
Processing and memory
- There are no fixed limits on file count, file size or image dimensions.
- The browser and image codec determine which image sizes can be processed.
- Converted results stay available for download and use memory. ZIP creation also needs memory for the archive. Download and clear results to release resources.
- One image is processed at a time. A single image times out after 90 seconds.
- Input: HEIC/HEIF, DNG/ProRAW, AVIF, JXL, JPG, PNG and WebP. Output: static SDR JPG, PNG and WebP. Some DNG files use their embedded preview, at the size shown in the result. Video and animation are not supported.
