Are Online Image Converters Safe?
•5 min read•Privacy
Here’s a no‑nonsense privacy checklist before you upload your photos.
What to Require
- • Explicit auto‑deletion policy (e.g., minutes or hours)
- • Encrypted in transit (HTTPS) and at rest
- • No account required for basic conversion
- • Transparent data retention + logs
Avoid If You See
- • Vague or missing deletion timelines
- • Publicly accessible file URLs without auth
- • Forced account creation for simple tasks
- • Third‑party trackers on conversion endpoints
Safer Alternatives
- Convert locally (Preview on macOS, ImageMagick, or Photos app).
- Use temporary shares with expiring links for delivery.
- Strip EXIF if privacy matters; keep only what you need.
Our approach
Short‑lived storage with automatic cleanup and private sharing options.
