Privacy Policy

The short version

• Images and files you paste or drop are processed in your browser and never uploaded.
• There are no accounts, no analytics, no advertising, and no tracking pixels.
• This site sets no cookies.
• Two things are stored on your device: your format choice and the last five pastes, which expire after 24 hours.
• The only personal data that reaches us is what you choose to send by email.

Images and files

The tool reads images straight from your clipboard, a drag and drop, a file picker, or an image link. Each one is drawn onto a canvas in your browser and turned into a download there. There is no upload step and no server endpoint on this site that accepts image data.

Because of that, we cannot see, copy, or recover an image you worked with. If you close a tab or clear your browser storage, the image is gone. Keep your own copy of anything important.

Stored on your device

PasteImage uses two kinds of browser storage, both local to your browser and never transmitted to us:

• A preference for your chosen output format, kept in local storage under the key pasteimage:format. It has no expiry and can be cleared with your site data.
• A history of the last five pastes, kept in IndexedDB in the pasteimage-history database. Each entry is deleted when it is more than 24 hours old, and the Clear history button removes all of them at once.

This storage is what makes the format menu and the recent pastes section work. It is not used for advertising, profiling, or anything beyond those features.

Cookies

This site sets no cookies at all, including no analytics or advertising cookies. The cookie policy covers the details and the local storage described above.

Server logs

The site is served by a hosting provider, which may keep standard server logs such as IP address, browser user agent, requested URL, and timestamp. Those logs are used for security and to keep the site online. They are not combined with any other data and are not used to build a profile of you.

If you email us

If you write to hello@pasteimage.net, we receive your email address, your message, and anything you attach. That information is used to reply and, where relevant, to fix a bug. Messages are kept only as long as they are useful and are never added to a mailing list.

Third-party links

Blog posts sometimes link to other websites. Once you follow a link, the privacy policy of that site applies. We do not control it and cannot speak for it.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or port your personal data, or to object to its processing. Because this site collects nothing automatically, the practical scope is limited to emails you have sent. Write to hello@pasteimage.net to make a request.

Children

The site is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from them. There are no accounts, so there is nothing to register and nothing to profile.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top of the page changes with it. Material changes will be described in plain language rather than quietly edited in.
