Security

1. Client-Side Processing
The core principle behind imgi.io's security is local processing. All of our image tools — compress, resize, convert, crop, transparent corners, SVG to PNG, and favicon generator — run directly in your web browser. Your files are processed using your device's computing resources through standard Web APIs (Canvas, FileReader, Blob). No file content is ever uploaded to or stored on our servers.
2. Encryption
All connections to imgi.io are encrypted using HTTPS with TLS (Transport Layer Security). This ensures that data transmitted between your browser and our servers cannot be intercepted or modified by third parties. We enforce HTTPS for all pages and resources.
3. Infrastructure
imgi.io is hosted on Cloudflare, a global cloud platform that provides:
- DDoS protection against distributed denial-of-service attacks
- Global content delivery network (CDN) for fast, reliable access worldwide
- Web Application Firewall (WAF) to protect against common web vulnerabilities
- Automatic SSL/TLS certificate management
Cloudflare's security infrastructure is SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS certified. For more details, see Cloudflare's Trust Hub.
4. No Data Storage
imgi.io does not store user data. We do not have databases for user accounts or file storage. Since image processing happens in your browser, there is no server-side data to protect or breach. The only exception is send.imgi.io, a separate service that temporarily stores content for cross-device transfer (content is automatically deleted after 48 hours).
5. Vulnerability Reporting
We take security vulnerabilities seriously. If you discover a security issue, please report it to us immediately. We will investigate and address valid reports promptly. Please do not publicly disclose vulnerabilities before we have had an opportunity to address them.
6. Best Practices for Users
While imgi.io processes files locally, we recommend the following practices:
- Keep your browser and operating system up to date
- Use a modern browser with security features enabled
- Be cautious when processing sensitive files on shared or public devices
- Verify that you are connected to https://imgi.io before using our tools
