Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how PictLab handles files, website usage data, analytics, cookies, advertising-related technologies and contact messages.
PictLab aims to keep image processing as simple and privacy-friendly as possible. Some tools may run mainly in the browser, while others may use temporary server-side processing when needed to generate the requested output.
PictLab is operated by HOLDVION LTD. This Privacy Policy is intended to explain, in practical terms, what information may be processed when visitors use PictLab tools, contact forms, analytics and related services.
1. Who we are
PictLab is an online platform that provides free image-related tools such as compression, resizing, cropping, rotation, conversion, watermarking, PDF workflows and similar utilities.
This Privacy Policy applies to your use of the PictLab website and related tool pages available on pictlab.com.
2. Files and image processing
When you use a tool on PictLab, files you upload may be processed only for the purpose of generating the result you requested.
- We do not claim ownership of your uploaded files.
- Your files are processed only to provide the selected tool function.
- Depending on the tool, processing may happen in the browser, on the server, or both.
- Generated output files may also be stored temporarily while your request is being completed.
If a tool requires temporary server-side processing, uploaded files and generated outputs may remain stored for a limited period before automatic cleanup.

This information helps us maintain the website, understand how tools are used, improve performance and detect errors or abuse.
4. Analytics and performance monitoring

8. Data retention
Uploaded files, generated outputs, logs and analytics records may be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to operate the requested service, maintain performance, monitor errors, protect the platform and improve the website.
