Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2, 2026

1. The files you select

All Apchukso tools (compressing images, PDFs and videos; resizing photos and ID photos; converting iPhone photos (HEIC); removing photo backgrounds; making transparent PNGs of stamps and signatures; making GIFs; editing PDF pages and passwords; QR codes; extracting ZIP and EGG archives; and more) run only in your browser. The files you select are never sent to any server, and they are not stored either. When you close the browser tab, any files being processed disappear with it.

The first time you use background removal or the ID photo background color changer, it downloads an AI model file (BRIA AI RMBG-1.4) from Hugging Face and keeps it in this browser's storage (Cache Storage); after that, the stored file is used. Even then, your photos are not sent anywhere. If you clear this site's data in your browser settings, the stored model file is deleted as well.

2. Information we collect

We use Google Analytics and Naver Analytics to analyze how the site is used. Through them, anonymized usage statistics such as the pages you visit, time spent on the site, device type, and approximate location may be collected. This information has nothing to do with the contents of your files or with information that could identify you personally.

When you use a tool, we also count, as anonymous statistics, which tool you used, which setting buttons you pressed, whether a result was produced and whether you downloaded it, and where you got stuck (the type of error). File names, file contents, passwords, the text or links you put into QR codes, and any values you type in are not sent.

We also use Microsoft Clarity to analyze how the pages are used. It anonymously records usage patterns (heatmaps and session replays), such as where you click and how far you scroll, and we have configured it so that text in the tool areas (such as file names) and the contents of input fields are masked in the recordings. Your files themselves are not sent to Clarity either.

3. Use of cookies

The statistics and analytics tools above (Google Analytics, Naver Analytics, Microsoft Clarity) may use cookies. You can refuse or delete cookies in your browser settings, and even if you block cookies, you can still use all Apchukso tools normally.

Apchukso may display ads through Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to show you ads based on your visits to this site or other sites. You can turn off personalized ads in Google Ad Settings.

4. Third-party services

This site is operated using the following services: hosting (Cloudflare), visit statistics (Google Analytics, Naver Analytics), usage analytics (Microsoft Clarity), advertising (Google AdSense), program and font files for some tools (jsDelivr; bunny.net for the PDF compression engine), and the AI model file for background removal (Hugging Face). Your files are not sent to these services either. The fonts used on the pages (Pretendard, Paperlogy, IBM Plex Mono) are served directly from Apchukso's own server, not from an external service. Each service follows its own privacy policy.

5. Sign-up and collection of personal information

Apchukso has no sign-up feature and does not separately collect personal information such as your name or email address.
