Overview
JPG to GIF is a Chrome extension that converts JPG images into animated GIFs entirely inside your browser. We designed this tool with privacy as a core principle.
Data We Collect
We do not collect, store, or transmit your images. All image processing happens locally on your device. Your JPG files never leave your computer through this extension.
The extension may store the following locally on your device using chrome.storage.local:
- Frame delay preference
- Quality setting
- Loop mode preference
- Max output width
- Dithering toggle state
These settings remain on your device only and are used to restore your preferences the next time you open the extension.
No Server Uploads
This extension does not use a backend server, API, analytics service, or third-party tracking for image conversion. GIF encoding is performed locally using Web Workers in your browser.
Permissions
The extension requests the storage permission solely to save your last-used settings between popup sessions. No other permissions are required.
Third-Party Services
The extension itself does not integrate with third-party services. If you visit our separate contact page and submit a message, that form is handled by Formspree under their own privacy terms.
Children's Privacy
This extension is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone through the extension.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
