Privacy Policy
Last updated: December 2025
Compressly is a privacy-first, browser-based image compression tool. This page explains what data we collect (if any), how it is used, and what choices you have.
Key points (short summary)
- All image compression happens locally in your browser.
- Your images are not uploaded, stored, or shared.
- No account or personal information is required to use the tool.
- Only minimal, anonymous analytics are used to improve the site.
- This site may show ads served by Google AdSense, which uses cookies to personalize ads.
How Compressly works
When you select an image, the file remains on your device and compression happens entirely within your browser. We never receive or store your images. Files only leave your device if you choose to download or share them yourself.
Information we collect
- No image data: Images you compress are never uploaded to our servers.
- Anonymous analytics: We may use tools such as Vercel Analytics, Speed Insights, and Google Search Console to understand site usage and performance. These tools collect aggregated, non-personal information like page views, device type, and general region.
- Error logs: Anonymous technical errors may be recorded to maintain site stability. These logs do not include image content.
- Advertising data: If ads are shown on this site, the advertising provider (Google AdSense) may collect data such as your approximate location, device type, and browsing activity to serve and measure ads, as described below.
Cookies and advertising
Compressly may display advertising through Google AdSense. Google and its advertising partners use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other websites, and to measure how those ads perform. This is standard practice for most ad-supported websites and does not affect how the compression tool itself works - image processing always happens locally in your browser regardless of ad settings.
You can control how Google personalizes ads for you by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of personalized advertising from other participating companies at aboutads.info. You can also disable cookies entirely in your browser settings, though this may affect how ads and some third-party features behave.
Third-party services
Compressly relies on third-party services for hosting, analytics, and advertising, including Google AdSense, Vercel Analytics, and Vercel Speed Insights. These services may set their own cookies and collect information such as page views, device type, approximate region, and ad interactions. They operate under their own privacy policies - see Google's policy on partner sites for details on how Google uses data from sites that use its services.
Your choices
- You may block analytics or cookies using browser settings or extensions.
- For highly sensitive images, consider offline professional software.
