Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 28, 2026

1. Introduction

APNG Maker ("we," "us," "our," or "the Company") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains our data practices when you use our free animated PNG creator tool and related services (collectively, the "Service").

Key principle: All image processing and animation creation happens entirely on your device. We do not collect, store, or transmit your images, animated PNGs, or any personal data to our servers.

2. No Data Collection

APNG Maker is designed with privacy as a core principle. When you use our animated PNG creator:

  • Images are processed locally: All image files you upload remain on your device and are never sent to external servers
  • No login required: We don't require signup or account creation, so we have no user profiles
  • No tracking: We do not use analytics cookies or tracking pixels
  • No advertising: APNG Maker is completely ad-free
  • No personal information: We do not collect names, emails, or any identifying information

3. What Happens With Your Data

When you use APNG Maker to create animated PNGs or apply effects:

  • Processing: All operations run in your browser using HTML5 Canvas and JavaScript
  • Preview: Preview images are displayed only in your browser
  • Export: Your final APNG, GIF, or WebP files are generated locally and downloaded directly to your device
  • Compression: APNG compression settings and lossy/lossless options are applied on your device
  • Deletion: All temporary data is automatically cleared when you close your browser

4. Browser Storage

APNG Maker may use your browser's local storage only to:

  • Remember your preferences (animation settings, filter choices, etc.)
  • Store recent file names or settings for convenience
  • Improve user experience between sessions

You can clear this data anytime by clearing your browser's cache and cookies. This will not affect the functionality of APNG Maker.

5. Third-Party Services

APNG Maker is hosted on GitHub Pages. While we don't send your image data anywhere, GitHub may collect basic analytics about page visits (not user-specific). Please refer to GitHub's privacy policy for more information.

We do not integrate with third-party services that would compromise your privacy, such as:

  • Cloud storage providers for your images
  • Analytics services that track user behavior
  • Advertising networks
  • Social media tracking pixels

6. Offline Capability

APNG Maker can work offline once the page has loaded. You can:

  • Upload images and create animated PNGs without internet connection
  • Apply effects and filters completely offline
  • Download your files locally

This reinforces our commitment that your data never leaves your device.

7. Security

To protect your privacy when using APNG Maker:

  • Use HTTPS: Our service is delivered over a secure HTTPS connection
  • No data transmission: Your images are never transmitted, eliminating transmission risks
  • Client-side processing: All computation happens on your device, not on external servers
  • Open source: Our code can be audited for security on GitHub

8. Your Rights

Since APNG Maker doesn't collect personal data:

  • You have nothing to request deletion of
  • You have nothing to request access to
  • You have nothing to request transfer of
  • There are no records of your activity

If you have concerns about browser storage, you can clear it directly through your browser settings.

9. Children's Privacy

APNG Maker does not knowingly collect information from children under 13. Since we don't collect any personal data, this policy applies equally to all users regardless of age. Parents should supervise children's use of the internet to comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

10. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates the most recent revision. Continued use of APNG Maker after changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
