2. How Our Online Tools Work
DesktopGoodies provides free browser-based tools for image editing, resizing, cropping and social media content creation.
Where a tool supports local browser processing, uploaded files are processed directly on your device and are not uploaded to our servers.
Some tools or features may use external services or require server-side processing. If this applies, the relevant tool will explain how your information is handled.
