Privacy policy

Your GIFs stay on your device

GifSmaller compresses files inside your browser using WebAssembly. The GIFs you add, their contents and their file names are never uploaded to our servers or to anyone else.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how the site is used, for example which compression goals are popular and whether compression succeeds. Events include approximate file sizes and percentages saved, never file names or image contents.

In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, analytics cookies are off until you allow them. You can change your choice at any time by clearing this site’s data in your browser.

Hosting and logs

The site is served by Cloudflare. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes technical data such as IP addresses and request headers to deliver pages and protect against abuse. Cloudflare’s privacy policy: https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/

Data stored in your browser

We store a few preferences in your browser’s local storage: color theme (theme), language choice (locale) and analytics consent (analytics-consent). They never leave your device.

Children

GifSmaller is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal data.
