Terms of Service

By using Pixora you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. We may update these terms from time to time; the date at the top of this page tells you when they last changed, and continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the revised version.

Pixora provides free tools that compress, convert, resize and edit images. All processing happens inside your own web browser, on your own device, using JavaScript and WebAssembly. We do not operate a server that receives, stores or processes your images.

The service is provided free of charge, without an account, and without a file limit. It is funded by advertising.

You retain every right you already had in the images you open with Pixora. We acquire no licence, no ownership, and no rights of any kind in them.

This is not generosity. It is a consequence of the architecture: your files are never transmitted to us, so there is nothing for us to license, store, inspect, sell, or use to train anything. A licence clause here would be describing a transfer that does not happen.

You are responsible for ensuring you have the right to use and modify the images you process.

You agree not to use the service to process material that is unlawful where you are, or that infringes someone else’s rights. You agree not to attempt to disrupt the site, to circumvent the advertising that funds it, or to use automated means to place unreasonable load on it.

Because processing happens on your device, we have no technical ability to see what you process, and therefore no ability to enforce this clause by inspection. It is a statement of the terms on which the service is offered, and a matter of your own compliance with the law.

The service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

Please read this next part carefully, because it is the one that matters in practice. Image compression and format conversion are destructive operations: they discard information permanently. Cropping throws away pixels. Metadata removal is irreversible. If you overwrite your only copy of a photograph with a compressed version, that photograph is gone, and we cannot recover it for you — we never held a copy, by design.

Always keep your originals. Work on copies.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Pixora and its operators will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, images, profits or goodwill, arising from your use of, or inability to use, the service.

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes liability where it would be unlawful to do so, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

The site displays advertisements supplied by Google AdSense. Advertisements are delivered inside sandboxed cross-origin frames and have no access to the images you open, to the canvas the site renders them on, or to the files you download.

Advertisers are third parties and are not endorsed by us. Your dealings with them are between you and them.

The Pixora name, design, and the code that makes up this site belong to its operators. The image codecs the site uses are open-source projects distributed under their own licences — MozJPEG, libwebp, libavif, oxipng and libheif among them — and nothing here restricts your rights under those licences.

We may change, suspend or discontinue any part of the service at any time, without notice. Since the tools run in your browser, a page you have already loaded will generally keep working even if the site becomes unreachable.

Questions about these terms can go to [email protected], or via the contact page. How we handle data is set out separately in the privacy policy.
