Private by design

Pixurity processes photos and PDFs locally in your browser. Your files are not uploaded to Pixurity for metadata scanning or cleaning, and we do not store them. For PDFs, Pixurity analyzes embedded document metadata only — it does not read or judge the text on your pages.

To make downloads reliable, a cleaned copy may be held briefly in your own browser's local storage on your device while its Download button is on screen. It is deleted when you clear the result or move on, any leftovers are deleted the next time you open Pixurity, and it is never sent to us.

What happens when you drop a photo

• Your browser reads the file into memory on your device.
• JavaScript running in the page parses its EXIF, IPTC, XMP and other metadata blocks.
• Cleaning rebuilds the file without those blocks, copying the image data unchanged.
• The cleaned copy is scanned again to verify the metadata is gone.
• The download is created from memory. Closing the tab discards everything.

What we never do

• Upload photos or PDFs to our servers for analysis or cleaning.
• Store, log or keep copies of image contents.
• Send images or metadata to analytics or AI services.

Map links

If a photo contains GPS data, we show the coordinates and an optional link to OpenStreetMap. No map is loaded automatically; opening the link sends only the coordinates to OpenStreetMap.

Honest limits

Removing metadata does not make a photo anonymous. Faces, street signs, landmarks and reflections can still reveal information. We remove the metadata we can detect and verify; we can't guarantee that no information can ever be inferred from an image.

Future accounts and payments

If Pro accounts are introduced, sign-in and payment will be kept separate from image processing. Pro will unlock larger batches — your photos will still be processed only in your browser.
