Privacy policy
TheImageIs is designed to minimize the image and document data we receive.
Image processing and saved projects
Image tools process your selected images inside your web browser, on your device, without uploading them to TheImageIs servers. Projects you choose to save and some preferences may remain in browser storage after you close or refresh the page. You can delete saved projects or clear the site's browser data to remove locally stored content.
PDF documents, OCR and local transfers
PDF page processing, text recognition, form editing, encryption and redaction run in your browser. Selected documents, recognized text and document passwords are not uploaded to our processing server. Passwords are used for the current operation and are not saved by the tool. OCR language data and software engines may be downloaded when needed; those downloads do not contain your document.
When you choose to continue a result in another tool, a temporary copy is stored in IndexedDB for this website's origin. Transfers support up to 50 files and 100 MB, expire after 30 minutes and are removed when received; expired records are cleaned on a later use. Saved recipes contain settings, not the original files. Clearing this website's browser data removes local projects, transfers, preferences and cached engine files. Download important results before closing a workspace.
Automatic background selection
Background-removal models and runtime files are downloaded from Hugging Face and public package CDNs when needed. These downloads do not include your photo. Model files may remain in browser storage after you close the page; clearing site data removes that cache. Selection edits and exported image pixels are processed locally.
Advertising and cookies
TheImageIs integrates Google AdSense. Google and other third-party advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to serve and measure ads based on your visits to this and other websites. Depending on your consent and settings, these technologies may be used to personalize advertising. Advertising services may receive technical information such as your IP address, browser information and the page you visit; this does not upload the images you edit with our tools.
Learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services. You can manage Google ad personalization in Google Ad Settings. The consent message, where shown, lists participating partners and their privacy information. You can also review participating companies and opt out of their personalized advertising through YourAdChoices.
Consent and your choices
We use Google's consent message for visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland. When the message is displayed, you can accept, decline or manage the available purposes and partners. To revisit or withdraw your consent, use the "Privacy and cookie settings" link provided with Google's message when available. You can also block or delete cookies using your browser settings. Turning off personalized advertising does not necessarily remove all ads.
Visit counter
Our counter measures visit sessions, not individual people. A random identifier in tab session storage prevents refreshes and navigation from adding visits during an active 30-minute session. We keep only a hash of this identifier temporarily on our server; expired entries are removed when the next visit is recorded. Daily totals are retained using UAE time (UTC+4). This counter does not store IP addresses, browsing histories or images, and does not set advertising cookies. Browsers requesting Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control, or blocking session storage, are not counted.
Technical logs
Web hosting providers may record standard request information such as IP address, browser type, requested page and time for security and reliability. We do not sell personal information.
