VidTools

Privacy Policy

VidTools is built to collect as little as possible. Most tools run entirely in your browser, so your files never leave your device.

Last updated: August 8, 2026

The short version

Your files are yours. Tools that compress, crop, convert, transcribe, or otherwise process a file do so locally in your browser — the file is never uploaded to us. For link-based tools, we fetch the requested content on demand and stream it to you without storing a copy.

We don't require an account, we don't ask for your email, and we don't sell data. Ever.

Information we process

Files you open in a local tool: processed entirely in your browser and never transmitted to our servers.

Links you paste: sent to our service only to fetch the requested media, which is streamed back to you and not retained.

Basic technical data: like most websites, our hosting provider may process standard request information (such as IP address and browser type) to deliver the site securely and prevent abuse.

Analytics

We use privacy-friendly, aggregate analytics to understand which tools are used and to keep the site fast and reliable. This data is anonymized and is not used to identify you or track you across other sites.

Cookies

We use only the cookies and local storage needed to make the site work and remember your in-tool preferences. We don't use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

Third parties

The site is served through a hosting and analytics provider that processes requests on our behalf. We don't share your files or pasted links with advertisers or data brokers.

Your choices

Because most processing happens on your device and we don't hold accounts, there's very little data to request or delete. You can clear your browser's storage at any time to remove any saved preferences.

If you have a privacy question, contact us through the Contact page and we'll respond.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we'll revise the date at the top of this page.
