Zero Upload Privacy Architecture
PixelLocal operates entirely within your browser memory. When you select a photo, your browser decodes and processes the pixel data locally using HTML5 Canvas and WebAssembly. Your files are never transmitted over the internet, logged, or stored on remote servers.
Troubleshooting & Known Limitations

- ⚠️Older browser versions without WebAssembly support may fail; use modern Chrome, Firefox, or Safari.
- ⚠️Large multi-burst HEIC files process sequentially to prevent browser RAM exhaustion.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are my iPhone HEIC photos uploaded to any external server?
No. PixelLocal decodes and converts HEIC images 100% locally inside your browser RAM using WebAssembly. Your photos never leave your device.
Why does Windows or Android fail to open HEIC files?
HEIC is an Apple High Efficiency Image Container. Converting to standard JPG restores universal compatibility across all operating systems and photo viewers.
What happens to transparency in HEIC images?
JPEG does not support alpha transparency channels. Any transparent regions are automatically composited onto a solid white background.
