Privacy Policy

Last updated: 7 September 2026

Your files

FileForge processes every file inside your own web browser using the imaging features built into it. Your images and PDF documents are never uploaded to us, never transmitted over the network, and never stored on any server. When you close or reload the page, everything you were working on is gone.

Because we never receive your files, we cannot read them, share them, or recover them.

What is stored on your device

The site saves two small preferences in your browser's local storage: your chosen language and your light or dark theme. These stay on your device, are not sent anywhere, and can be removed by clearing your browser data for this site.

Analytics

We do not run any analytics or tracking scripts of our own.

Advertising

This site may display advertising supplied by Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies lets it and its partners serve ads to you based on your visit to this site or other sites on the internet.

You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of third-party vendors' use of cookies at aboutads.info/choices.

Advertising is served independently of the file tools. Blocking ads does not affect how the tools work, and no information about your files is ever available to advertisers, because your files never leave your device.

Your advertising choices

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, a consent dialog appears the first time you visit. It asks whether advertising and measurement cookies may be used, and you can accept, decline, or open the options and choose per purpose. Declining does not restrict the tools: every feature on this site works the same either way, because nothing here depends on advertising.

That dialog is Google's own consent management platform, certified under the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework. Your choice is recorded in your browser and reused on later visits until it needs refreshing. To change it, clear this site's data in your browser and reload the page, and the dialog will appear again.

The language and theme preferences described above are set only when you choose them and are needed to give you the site you asked for, so they are kept regardless of your advertising choice.

Children

This site is a general-purpose utility and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top of this page will be updated.
