Your images
Every file you drop, paste, or pick is processed by JavaScript in your browser. The bytes are read into a Canvas, re-encoded with the browser's built-in encoders, and downloaded back to you. No upload happens at any point.
On your device
What stays on your device
Three things live locally and never leave your machine.
Conversion report history
If you use the conversion report, Sukat saves only metadata (filenames, dimensions, sizes, timestamp, quality) in your browser's localStorage — never image bytes. Clear it any time with Delete All Data. The data lives only on your device.
Background-removal model
The first time you click Remove Background, your browser downloads a roughly 40 MB segmentation model and caches it locally. It runs on your CPU/GPU; image data never leaves the device.
Network
What we collect
Almost nothing — and nothing about your image content.
The counter ping
The only network call related to your conversions is a small decorative counter ping to /api/count. It increments a global counter so the homepage can display “X images compressed today”. The request body is empty — no image data, no filename, no IP-linked identifier — and the response is the new count. Failure of this endpoint (e.g. when offline) does not affect your conversion.
Server logs
We receive standard server logs through our hosting provider Cloudflare, which include request timestamps, IP address, browser user-agent, and the URL requested. These logs help with security and abuse prevention. Cloudflare's privacy practices are governed by their Privacy Policy.
Third parties
Third-party services
What runs alongside Sukat, and what each one does.
Google Tag Manager & Analytics
Aggregate page traffic, popular features, broad geographic distribution. They set cookies and report anonymised usage to Google. See Google's Privacy Policy and opt-out add-on.
Google AdSense
Ads on some pages fund development. AdSense uses cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on prior visits, and may use the DoubleClick cookie. Adjust personalisation at Google's Ads Settings.
Cloudflare
Hosting, edge delivery, and security. No image content is processed by Cloudflare; the site is served as static assets.
In-browser libraries
JSZip, heic2any, and @imgly/background-removal run inside your browser. They make no network calls of their own related to image content.
The rest
Cookies, children, regions & changes
The remaining policy details, in brief.
Cookies
Sukat itself sets no cookies. The cookies you see come from the third-party services above (primarily Google Tag Manager and AdSense). You can manage or block these in your browser settings. Blocking analytics or advertising cookies will not affect Sukat's image-processing functionality, since none of it depends on cookies.
Children's privacy
Sukat is a free utility with no account system, no comments, and no profile. We don't knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children. If you're a parent or guardian and have questions, please contact us.
International users
Sukat is operated from the Philippines. The site is delivered via Cloudflare's global edge network, so static assets reach you from a server geographically near you. Your image data never crosses any network boundary at all because it's processed locally — so concerns about data residency under EU GDPR, India's DPDPA, the Philippines Data Privacy Act, or similar regulations do not apply to the image-processing step. Standard server-log data (IP, timestamp, request URL) is processed by Cloudflare under their privacy practices.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy occasionally to reflect changes in third-party services, new features, or legal requirements. Material changes will be reflected by an updated Last updated date at the top of this page. We don't email or notify users individually since we don't collect email addresses.
