LivePhotoKit ("we", "us") operates livephotokit.com. This privacy policy explains how we handle your information when you use our free online HEIC and Live Photo conversion tools, updated for 2026.
All conversions run entirely in your web browser using WebAssembly. The files you drag, drop, or select are never sent to our servers. We never store, view, transmit, or have any access to your photos, videos, or any other files you process with LivePhotoKit. The entire conversion pipeline — decoding HEIC images, unpacking LIVP packages, extracting video, compressing, converting to your chosen format — happens on your own device's CPU and memory. Nothing is uploaded at any step.
This architecture is deliberate. Many free online converters work by uploading your files to a remote server for processing, which creates privacy risks: the server could cache your files, log them, scan them, or suffer a data breach. LivePhotoKit was built differently from day one. Because processing is local, there is no upload latency, no file-size cap imposed by a server, and no privacy concern — your photos remain entirely under your control, on your device, at all times. Once the page has loaded, the tools even work offline.
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to collect anonymous, aggregated usage data — things like how many people visit the site, which pages are most popular, and roughly what countries visitors come from. This helps us understand which tools people need most and where to focus our efforts. GA4 does not give us individual user identities, and we do not attempt to link analytics data to specific people.
We display advertisements through Google AdSense, which helps keep LivePhotoKit free for everyone. Google AdSense may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies is governed by Google's own privacy policy, available at policies.google.com. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. You can also opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ad Settings (adssettings.google.com) or by enabling "Do Not Track" in your browser preferences.
We do not serve ads based on your file content or usage patterns — we have no access to that information. Ads are served based on page context (the general topic of the page you are on) and, where applicable, Google's interest-based advertising signals.
LivePhotoKit is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, our tools, or applicable law. When we do, we will revise the date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically so you stay informed about how we protect your privacy. Continued use of LivePhotoKit after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
If you have questions about this privacy policy or about how your data is handled on LivePhotoKit, you can reach us through the website. We take privacy seriously and will respond as promptly as we can.
No. Every conversion tool on LivePhotoKit runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your files are decoded and processed on your own device and never leave it. We have no server that receives, stores, or views your photos or videos — we physically cannot access them.
We use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how many people visit the site and which pages are popular. This gives us anonymized, aggregated data like page view counts and approximate geography. We do not track individual users across sessions or across the web. We also use Google AdSense to serve ads; Google may use cookies to show relevant ads based on your browsing history. You can manage or disable these cookies in your browser settings at any time.
Our advertising partner Google AdSense may set cookies in your browser to serve and measure ads. Google's use of advertising cookies is governed by Google's own privacy policy. LivePhotoKit itself does not set first-party cookies for tracking or personalization. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ad Settings page or by enabling 'Do Not Track' in your browser.
