imagetools.to is built with privacy as a core principle. Every image tool runs entirely in your browser — your photos are never sent to any server, never stored, and never seen by us. This policy explains what limited data we do collect (primarily through advertising) and how it's handled.
imagetools.to is a free online image editing platform. We operate the website available at imagetools.to and all associated subdomains.
