Privacy & Data Architecture

1. Zero Media Uploads (100% Client-Side Processing)

Discord Asset Studio is built on a strict zero-server media architecture. When you drag and drop, paste, or select an image or video file for validation or compression:

• The media is read directly into your device's memory using browser FileReader and URL.createObjectURL APIs.
• All resizing, cropping, quantizing, and formatting operations occur exclusively inside browser Web Workers and HTML5 Canvas contexts.
• No bytes, dimensions, filenames, EXIF data, or visual contents are ever transmitted to any external backend, API, or cloud storage. You can confirm this at any time by inspecting the Network tab in your browser's Developer Tools.

2. Memory Lifecycle & Object Cleanup

We automatically revoke in-memory Object URLs via URL.revokeObjectURL() as soon as a transformation completes, when a canvas is reset, or when navigating away from a tool page. Worker threads are terminated or garbage-collected by the browser upon teardown.

3. Local Storage Usage

We use browser localStorage solely to preserve non-identifying interface preferences, such as your selected dark/light theme or preferred default export format. We never store image blobs, filenames, or user identifiers in persistent browser storage.

4. Advertising & Cookie Consent (GDPR / AdSense)

This static website is served through Cloudflare Pages to provide global SSL encryption, DDoS protection, and edge asset caching.

To sustain the free availability of our tools, we display advertisements served through Google AdSense. Google and its advertising partners use cookies (such as the DoubleClick / DART cookie) and device identifiers to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other websites on the internet.

• Personalized vs. non-personalized ads: Where required by law (EEA, UK, Switzerland), we request your consent before serving personalized advertising. You may accept or decline personalized ads; declining does not remove ads but makes them non-personalized/contextual.
• Opt out of personalization: Visit Google Ads Settings (adssettings.google.com) to manage or disable personalized advertising. You can also opt out of third-party vendor cookies at aboutads.info/choices.
• Third-party vendors: A list of Google-certified ad technology providers and their privacy policies is available via Google's "Ad partners" disclosure.
• Your consent choices are stored locally in your browser and are never transmitted to or stored on our servers.

Because all media processing is client-side, advertisements never interact with your images — ad scripts run in a sandboxed slot and have no access to files you drop into the tools.
