Your Photos

All photo processing happens in your browser. We do not store, access, or transmit your photos to our servers. Photos are only uploaded to Google Photos when you explicitly choose to do so.

Google Photos Integration

When you connect Google Photos, you grant us permission to upload photos to your Google Photos library and access your basic profile information (email and name). Photos are uploaded directly to your main Google Photos library with descriptions mentioning our app. This integration is governed by Google's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy in addition to ours.

Analytics Data

We collect anonymous usage statistics to improve the service. This includes feature usage, performance metrics, and error reporting. We use Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity (aggregated behavior analytics and session replays) for this, loaded only after you accept analytics cookies. The editor is masked, so no personal information or photos are included in analytics data.
