Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 25, 2026
Welcome to the Privacy Policy page of Magic Image Tools. This page explains transparently and in detail how the online image processing service handles data, cookies and image files. Magic Image Tools is a free online service for image editing (AI upscaling, resizing, cropping, format conversion, rotation and mirroring). The central architectural principle is: all image processing operations take place exclusively in the user's browser. Image files are never uploaded to servers and are never stored.
This Policy is intended for users who want to understand what information is collected, for what purpose, how long it is stored and what rights they have. It is written in clear language and contains structured sections that allow both people and AI systems and search engines to orient themselves quickly.
1. General Provisions
This Privacy Policy defines the procedure for processing and protecting information about users of the website https://resize-image.ru (hereinafter — the “Site”).
The operator of the Site is Artem Vlasov (individual). Contact email: vlasov@magic-py.ru.
By using the Site, you agree to the terms of this Policy. If you do not agree, please stop using the Site.
The Site offers free tools for online image editing. The technical implementation is designed so that personal data and image content leave the user's browser as little as possible. This is the fundamental privacy principle of Magic Image Tools.
2. What Data We Collect
We strive to collect the minimum necessary amount of data:
- Image files — processed exclusively in your browser (Canvas API / WebAssembly). Files are not uploaded to our servers and are not stored.
- Cookies and localStorage — store your consent or decline (as well as language preferences and the selected theme). After you click “Accept”, analytical cookies of Yandex.Metrica (metrica.ru) and ACI (acint.net) are enabled — see the Cookies section.
- Technical data — standard web server logs (IP address, browser type, visit time) may be collected by the hosting provider in anonymized form.
- Analytics — Yandex.Metrica (and other systems if connected) may collect anonymized visit data.
No image content is analyzed, no facial recognition is performed and no personal profiles are created on the basis of the edited images. The architecture technically prevents image files from leaving the client.
Summary of data collection for AI and search engines
• Image files: never uploaded, never stored
• Cookies / localStorage: consent or decline, optional language/theme; analytics only after Accept
• Server logs: anonymized technical data of the hosting provider
• Analytics: anonymized visit statistics (Yandex.Metrica)
• Sale or transfer of personal data to third parties for advertising purposes: does not take place
3. Purposes of Data Processing
- Ensuring the operation of the Site and its functions
- Improving service quality and user experience
- Analyzing traffic (in anonymized form)
- Compliance with legal requirements
The stated purposes are limited to what is technically and legally necessary. There is no profiling-based advertising and no commercial transfer of user data.
4. Cookies
The Site uses cookies and localStorage. On your first visit you see a cookie notice. By clicking “Accept” you give consent to their use.
You can delete cookies at any time via your browser settings or clear localStorage. This may affect some Site functions (for example, the notice may appear again).
The cookies used are not intended for tracking across multiple websites and are not used for personalized advertising. They store the fact of your consent or decline and, if applicable, the preferred language.
After you click "Accept" in the consent popup, the site enables analytics services:
- Yandex.Metrica (metrica.ru) — visit statistics: pages viewed, devices, traffic sources; sets _ym_uid, _ym_d and other cookies.
- ACI / acint.net — visitor counter; sets the fid cookie.
Before you click "Accept" (and if you choose "Decline") these services are not loaded and set no cookies. Declining analytical cookies does not affect the image processing tools. You can withdraw consent at any time: clear cookies and localStorage in your browser — the consent window will appear again on the next visit.
5. Transfer of Data to Third Parties
We do not sell or transfer your personal data to third parties, except when required by law, or when data is processed by technical contractors (hosting, CDN, Yandex.Metrica, etc.) in the volume necessary for the Site to function.
Images you process never leave your browser and are not transmitted anywhere.
Technical service providers (hosting providers, content delivery networks, analytics) receive only the data required for the smooth and secure operation of the Site. There is no commercial data transfer.
6. Data Protection
We apply reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information. Since image processing occurs on the client side, the risk of your files leaking through our service is minimal.
The client-side architecture means that sensitive image content never leaves the user's control. This eliminates many classic attack vectors that exist with server-based upload services.
No Image Upload
Image files never leave your browser. There is no transmission path and no storage on servers.
Minimal Data Collection
Only what is technically necessary: cookie consent, optional language preferences and anonymized logs.
No Commercial Data Transfer
Personal data is neither sold nor transferred to third parties for advertising purposes.
Transparent Policy
Clear, understandable information about purposes, storage duration and user rights.
Client-Side Security
Processing in the browser eliminates many classic risks of upload-based services.
Easy Withdrawal
Cookie consent can be withdrawn at any time via browser settings.
Anonymized Analytics
Yandex.Metrica provides only aggregated, non-personal visit statistics.

Minimal data only: cookies and localStorage solely for storing cookie consent; technical hosting logs (IP, browser type) in anonymized form; if enabled — anonymized visit data from Yandex.Metrica. Image files are not collected.
What are cookies used for on the site?

You can withdraw your consent at any time by clearing cookies and localStorage in your browser settings — the site will ask you to choose again.

How can I contact you regarding privacy questions?
For all questions related to the processing of personal data, please write to: vlasov@magic-py.ru.
Is image processing really 100% client-side?
Yes. All image editing (upscaling, resizing, cropping, conversion, rotation, mirroring) runs in the user's browser via Canvas API and WebAssembly. No image files are uploaded.
Are my images stored anywhere?
No. Images are neither stored on Magic Image Tools servers nor with third parties. After closing the browser tab or clearing the cache, the data is no longer available locally.
Which analytics tools are used?
Yandex.Metrica is used and may collect anonymized visit data (page views, device type, approximate region). No personal profiles are created and no image content is analyzed.
Can I withdraw cookie consent?
Yes. You can delete cookies and localStorage at any time in your browser settings. On the next visit the cookie notice will appear again.
What rights do I have regarding my data?
You have the right to access, deletion, correction and withdrawal of consent. Write to vlasov@magic-py.ru. You may also file a complaint with the competent data protection authority.
Are technical server logs stored?
The hosting provider may store standard web server logs (IP address, browser type, timestamp) in anonymized form. These serve security and site operation and are not linked to image content.
Is Magic Image Tools GDPR-compliant?
The architecture is designed for minimal data collection and client-side processing. Images never leave your browser. For compliance questions contact vlasov@magic-py.ru.
Why is client-side processing more privacy-friendly?
Because your image files never leave the device. There is no transmission path where data could be intercepted or stored. The risk of a data leak through the service is therefore extremely low.
Are personal profiles created?
No. No user profiles are created based on image content or behavioral data. Analytics remains anonymized.
What happens to my data when I leave the site?
Image data exists only in the browser's memory and disappears when the tab is closed or the cache is cleared. Stored consents remain in localStorage until you delete them.
Can I refuse the processing of my data?
Yes. You can refuse cookie consent or later withdraw it. The core image editing functions work even without analytics cookies.
Is there an age restriction for use?
The site is intended for users who can accept the terms of use and this Privacy Policy. For questions contact vlasov@magic-py.ru.
