Summary
Crush compresses images in your browser with the Canvas API. Photos you select are not uploaded to our servers for conversion. There is no Crush account, no file locker, and no cloud job id. Closing the tab discards the bitmaps in that tab’s memory.
What we process
- Files you select stay on this device. Decode and encode run locally. We cannot see the pixels.
- Technical logs: the host (Vercel) and CDN may log IP address, user-agent, referrer, and URL path for security and reliability. Those logs do not include image bytes.
- Advertising: Google AdSense (publisher ca-pub-7636435144500691) may set cookies and collect device/ad identifiers after the site is approved for ads. Ads are independent of image processing. See Google Privacy and ads settings.
Metadata
Re-encoding through Canvas typically drops GPS, camera serial, and most EXIF. Treat that as a side effect, not a certified redaction. Do not rely on Crush as the only step if you must prove metadata is gone.
What we do not do
- We do not upload, store, sell, or train on your photos.
- We do not require an account.
- We do not add watermarks.
- We do not sell a list of “people who compressed images.”
Your choices
Do not select files you do not want this tab to read. Use browser controls to clear site data. Email contact for a privacy question about the product, not for a copy of a file — we do not have one.
