Some simpler tools like calculators and text formatters may work with intermittent connectivity once the page is loaded.
Technical & File Use
No, we do not permanently store or share your files. When you upload a file for processing, it's temporarily stored in memory just long enough to complete the requested operation. The file is automatically deleted from our servers immediately after processing, typically within minutes.
We never access, view, or share your files with any third parties.
We do not track or store the content you input into our tools. For analytics purposes, we may collect anonymous usage data (like which tools are used and general performance metrics), but this never includes your actual file contents or personal information.
You can use our tools with confidence that your data remains private.
Our tools support a wide range of common file formats:
- Documents: PDF, DOCX, TXT, RTF
- Images: JPG, PNG, GIF, WEBP, SVG
- Other: CSV, JSON, and various archive formats
Each tool's page specifies which formats it accepts. We're constantly adding support for more file types based on user demand.
We have no plans to require login for basic tool usage. Snaplyn was designed to be accessible without accounts or signups. In the future, we may offer optional accounts for features like saving preferences or tracking your tool history, but all current functionality will remain available without registration.
Privacy & Ads
Snaplyn uses only essential cookies required for basic website functionality, such as remembering your preferences for cookie consent. We do not use tracking cookies or any third-party analytics that compromise your privacy.
You can learn more in our Cookie Policy.
Yes, security is a top priority. All data transferred to and from Snaplyn is encrypted using HTTPS. File processing occurs in secure, isolated environments. We regularly audit our systems and update our security measures to protect against emerging threats.
That said, we recommend not uploading highly sensitive documents to any online service unless absolutely necessary.
We aim to keep Snaplyn free without intrusive advertising. Currently, the platform is ad-free, and any future advertising would be implemented carefully to avoid disrupting the user experience. If we ever introduce ads, they would be:
- Relevant and non-intrusive
- Clearly marked as advertisements
- Never based on your personal file contents
Our primary goal is maintaining a clean, useful service above all else.
User privacy is fundamental to Snaplyn. Our approach includes:
- No collection of personal data beyond basic analytics
- Automatic deletion of processed files
- No tracking of individual user activity
- Transparent policies about data handling
