Privacy Policy
Overview
Compresso is designed with privacy as a core principle. We minimize data collection and processing to provide you with a secure file compression service.
Data Collection
What we collect:
- None by default. We do not collect any personal information or user data.
Where data lives:
- PDF and Image compression: 100% client-side processing in your browser. Files never leave your device.
- Video compression: Temporarily uploaded to our server for processing, then automatically deleted after 1 hour.
- Compression history: Stored locally in your browser's IndexedDB storage. Never sent to servers.
Data Retention
- PDF/Image files: Never uploaded, never stored anywhere except your local browser memory during processing.
- Video files: Temporarily stored on server for up to 1 hour, then automatically deleted.
- Compression history: Stored indefinitely in your browser until you clear it. Controlled by you.
- Analytics: We use Ahrefs Web Analytics (privacy-focused, no personal data collected).
Third-Party Services
- Ahrefs Web Analytics: Privacy-focused analytics that does not collect personal data or use cookies.
- Google Fonts: Used for typography (Inter and JetBrains Mono fonts).
- No AI APIs: This tool does not use any AI inference APIs or send data to AI providers.
Your Privacy Guarantee
For PDF and image compression, your files are processed entirely in your browser using JavaScript. We have no way to access your files - they never touch our servers.

- Clear compression history at any time
- All processing happens in your browser for PDFs and images

- No account required, no tracking cookies
