Privacy
Last updated: August 17, 2026
The current WebpForge converters are designed so selected image files are processed on your device. This page distinguishes image processing from the ordinary network requests involved in visiting any website.
Image processing
When you select an image, browser code reads it into local memory. Web Workers decode, optionally resize, and encode the image on your device. WebpForge does not send image bytes, pixels, filenames, or generated outputs to a conversion API or storage server.
Completed files remain in browser memory only as long as needed for the page session. Downloading saves a copy through your browser. Clear all cancels work, terminates workers, revokes temporary object URLs, and releases references held by the page. The browser and operating system ultimately control when memory is reclaimed.
Website requests and server logs
Your browser must request the site’s HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and codec files from the web server. Like most web hosting, the server may create short-lived security and access logs containing an IP address, request time, requested path, response status, user-agent string, and referring page.
Those requests do not include the images you select for conversion. Server logs are used for reliability, abuse prevention, and operational troubleshooting, not to reconstruct image content.
Analytics
The current site does not load a third-party analytics script. Product code emits privacy-safe browser events such as conversion started, completed, downloaded, or failed, but no listener sends those events anywhere by default.
If privacy-respecting analytics are added later, this policy will be updated before collection begins. Image contents and filenames will not be included in product analytics.
Local storage, cookies, and accounts
WebpForge does not require an account for the converters and does not use advertising cookies. The current converter does not persist selected files or outputs in local storage or IndexedDB.
Future server-side features
If a future feature requires uploading a file, it will be clearly separated and described before the upload occurs. The “never uploaded” statement applies to the current local converter paths documented on this site.
