Introduction

Welcome to CompressLocal.com ("the Site"). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

Description of service and local processing

CompressLocal provides free browser-based image and PDF tools, including image compression, format conversion, resizing, image-to-PDF conversion, PDF compression, and visible PDF marking. No account is required.

Supported workflows read and transform selected file bytes in your browser using browser APIs, Web Workers, WebAssembly, and bundled libraries. The tools do not upload those selected file bytes to a CompressLocal processing server. This file-local statement does not mean the page is offline or request-free: hosting, static assets, consent, analytics, and advertising services make separate requests as described in the Privacy Policy.

File retention and responsibility

We do not create user accounts or retain recoverable copies of files processed by the tools. Working data and generated output are held in your browser and may be discarded when you clear a workflow, close a tab, or navigate away. Keep original files and download any result you want to retain.

No warranty / as-is

The Site and tools are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee the accuracy, reliability, fitness, availability, or quality of any output.

Compressed or converted output may differ in quality, color, metadata, dimensions, format, or file structure from the original.
Image workflows generally remove source metadata, which may include EXIF, GPS, and camera information.
PDF compression may rasterize or rebuild pages and remove searchable text, links, forms, annotations, bookmarks, accessibility structure, metadata, attachments, or signature semantics.
Visible marks created by Sign PDF are not certificate-backed digital signatures and do not validate identity or legal effect.
Always retain and review your original files.

The Site incorporates open-source software, including browser-image-compression, fflate, pdf-lib, PDF.js, and Ghostscript WASM, under their respective licenses and terms.

Browser compatibility and limits

The tools depend on modern browser capabilities and available device memory. Functionality is not guaranteed across every browser, device, file, or operating system. Resource and file limits may be enforced to keep local work bounded.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, CompressLocal.com and its operators are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from use of the Site or tools, including data loss, output degradation, missed deadlines, or inability to recover processed files.

Ownership and acceptable use

You retain ownership of files you process and are responsible for having the rights and authority needed to use them. The Site's code, design, branding, and written content remain subject to their applicable ownership and licenses.

You agree not to use the Site to:

Process unlawful content or violate another person's rights
Disrupt, overload, or bypass Site security controls
Automate access in a way that degrades service for others
Misrepresent visible PDF marks as certificate validation supplied by us

Page services, cookies, and privacy choices

The Site is delivered through AWS CloudFront. It uses Google Privacy & Messaging for applicable consent and regional privacy controls, Google AdSense for eligible advertising, and Google Analytics for eligible measurement. These providers may process ordinary request, device, cookie, or similar identifier data under their terms and the current provider-backed choice. They do not receive selected file contents from the tool workflows.

The Geist font is bundled and served locally rather than requested from Google Fonts. Details, provider links, advertising disclosures, and the Privacy and cookie settings control are available in our Privacy Policy. Google Privacy & Messaging may show different controls based on the messages the operator has published and the region Google determines. These Terms do not decide which privacy laws apply to a particular visitor.

Changes and contact

We may update these Terms by posting a revised version and date. For questions, visit our Contact page.
