When resizing personal or sensitive images, privacy matters. Rune's Image Resizer processes everything locally in your browser.
Why Privacy Matters
Images can contain:
- Personal photos
- Confidential documents
- EXIF data (location, device info)
- Business-sensitive graphics
How Rune Protects Privacy
Local Processing
All resizing happens in your browser using JavaScript. No server uploads.
No Data Transmission
Your images are read and processed locally. Nothing travels over the network.
No Storage
Images exist only in browser memory. Closing the tab clears everything.
EXIF Removal
Metadata (including GPS coordinates) is stripped during processing.
