Privacy and your data

Local first

The guiding rule behind Pageonaut is simple: do the work in your browser whenever possible. When you compress an image, format some JSON, or remove metadata from a photo, the processing happens on your own device. Your file is never uploaded, never sits on a server, and never passes through us.

This is better for you on every axis — it's faster (no upload/download round-trip), it works on patchy connections, and it's private by default. It's also why there's no account: there's no profile to attach your activity to.

When a tool needs a server

A small number of tasks can't be done locally — for example, fetching something from another website on your behalf. Where that's the case, the tool's page says so plainly, and the tool is built to send only what it needs to do the job, nothing more.

So the honest, complete picture is: most tools are fully local; the few that aren't are labelled, so you always know how your data is handled before you use them.

What we collect about visits

To keep the site healthy and understand which tools are useful, we use lightweight, privacy-respecting analytics that look at aggregate trends — like which pages are popular — not at who you are. There's no cross-site tracking profile being built around you.

Ads on the site help keep every tool free; you can read more in Ads, and why Pageonaut is free. For the formal details, see our Privacy policy.

The short version

• Most tools: everything stays in your browser. Nothing uploaded.
• Server-backed tools: clearly labelled, minimal data, only what the task needs.
• No accounts, no data sale, no cross-site profile.
