Image processing

When you select an image, browser code reads it into local memory. Web Workers and browser-based codecs decode, optionally resize, and encode the image on your device. The current converter paths do not send selected 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, fonts, and codec files from the web server. Like most web hosting, the server may create 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 image files you select for conversion. Server logs may be used for reliability, abuse prevention, and operational troubleshooting.

Advertising and your choice

WebpForge uses Google AdSense to support the site. The AdSense script is loaded only after you choose “Allow advertising” in the preference banner. If you decline, WebpForge does not load the AdSense script on that visit or later visits while the saved choice remains in place.

When AdSense is allowed, Google and its advertising partners may process information such as your IP address, browser or device information, page URL, referring page, advertising identifiers, and ad interactions. Depending on your location and settings, they may use cookies or similar storage to deliver, limit, personalize, and measure ads and to prevent fraud. Selected image files and generated outputs are not provided to AdSense.

Google describes its practices in Google’s Privacy Policy and its explanation of how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

Local storage, cookies, and accounts

WebpForge does not require an account for its image tools. The site stores your advertising preference under the local-storage key webpforge_cookie_consent. The current converters do not persist selected files or outputs in local storage or IndexedDB.

You can reopen the preference banner with the “Advertising choices” control in the footer. Declining after previously allowing advertising reloads the page so the AdSense script is no longer present.

Analytics

The current site does not load a separate third-party analytics service. Browser events used by the interface are not sent to an analytics endpoint by default. AdSense may measure ad delivery and interactions when advertising is allowed, as described above.

Future server-side features

If a future feature requires uploading a file, it will be clearly separated and described before the upload occurs. Statements about local processing apply to the current local converter paths documented on this site.
