Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2026

TL;DR — We collect nothing

  • ✓ Your files are never uploaded to any server
  • ✓ All processing happens locally in your browser
  • ✓ We collect no personal data
  • ✓ We use no tracking cookies
  • ✓ Works fully offline after initial page load

1. How LocalKit Works

LocalKit is a client-side web application. Every tool — PDF manipulation, image processing, video conversion, and background removal — runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly (WASM), the Canvas API, and Web Workers. When you drop a file into any tool, it is read into browser memory and processed locally. The output file is generated in your browser and downloaded directly to your device. No file data is ever transmitted over the network.

2. Files and Data

We do not collect, transmit, store, or have any access to the files you process with LocalKit. Files are loaded into your browser's memory (RAM) for processing and are cleared when you close the tab or navigate away. We have no server infrastructure that handles file data — there is no backend.

3. Analytics and Tracking

LocalKit does not use advertising trackers, fingerprinting scripts, or behavioral analytics. If analytics are ever added in the future, only privacy-respecting, cookieless analytics (such as page view counts) will be used, and this policy will be updated accordingly.

4. Cookies and Local Storage

LocalKit uses localStorage only to remember your dark/light theme preference. No tracking cookies are set. No third-party cookies are loaded.

5. Third-Party Services

LocalKit loads fonts from Google Fonts and, on first use, the Background Remover tool downloads an AI model (~50 MB) from a CDN. These requests reveal your IP address to those providers (standard for any web request) but no file content is involved. No third-party advertising, analytics, or social media scripts are loaded.

6. Offline Use

After the initial page load, all tools work without an internet connection. The Background Remover model is cached in your browser after the first download and works offline on subsequent visits.

7. Open Source

LocalKit is open source. You can audit the full source code on GitHub to verify these claims. There is no obfuscated code, no hidden network requests, and no server-side component.

8. Changes to This Policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be published at this URL with an updated date. We will not introduce data collection without clearly disclosing it here.
