Terms and Conditions

The short version

The tools are free, you keep every right to your own images, you may use the output commercially, and you must not use the site to do anything illegal or to attack it. Because the service is free and processes files on your own device, we cannot accept liability for what the tools produce. The full wording follows.

1. Agreement to these terms

These terms are a legal agreement between you and ImgCruncher covering your use of https://imgcruncher.com and everything on it. By using the site you accept them. If you do not accept them, please do not use the site. There is no account to close, so stopping simply means leaving the site.

2. What the service is

ImgCruncher provides 23 browser-based image tools and a library of guides. The tools run on your own device using standard browser features. We do not receive, store or process your images on any server. The service is provided free of charge, with no account, no usage cap and no watermarking of your output.

3. Your images and your rights

You keep all rights to any image you use with these tools. We claim no licence, ownership or interest in your files, and we could not exercise one if we wanted to, because we never receive them. Anything the tools produce from your image is yours, and you may use it for personal or commercial purposes without restriction or attribution.

You are responsible for having the right to use the images you process. Do not use these tools on material you are not entitled to modify.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the site to:

• Break any applicable law, or infringe anyone's copyright, trademark, privacy or other rights
• Process images depicting child sexual abuse, or any other content that is illegal to possess or distribute
• Create material intended to deceive, defame, harass or impersonate
• Attack, overload, probe or disrupt the site or its infrastructure, including automated scraping that degrades the service for others
• Circumvent, disable or interfere with security-related features
• Reverse engineer the site in order to build a competing service from our code and assets

Because there are no accounts, enforcement is limited to blocking abusive traffic. We reserve the right to do so.

5. Automated access

Ordinary crawling that respects our robots.txt is welcome. Scripted or bulk use of the site that places an unreasonable load on it is not, and may be blocked. The tools are designed for people, and since processing happens in your browser, automating the site brings you no benefit over running the same operations locally.

6. Our intellectual property

The site's name, logo, design, written guides, original diagrams, measured test results, and the code behind the tools are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by copyright and other laws. You may read, share and link to our guides freely. You may not republish them wholesale, present them as your own, or use them to train a model for a competing product without permission. Quoting a passage with a link back is fine and welcome.

Third-party libraries used by some tools remain the property of their authors and are used under their own licences. Photographs illustrating our guides are used under the licence stated with each image.

7. No warranty

The service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error free, or that any result you obtain will be accurate or suitable for your purpose.

In plain terms: the tools work well and we test them, but they are free tools running inside your browser on hardware we know nothing about, and you should check the output before you rely on it.

8. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, revenue, business or goodwill, arising out of or connected with your use of the site, even if we have been advised that such damage is possible.

In particular, and because this is the realistic risk with image tools, we are not liable for loss or corruption of an image, for a result that did not meet your expectations, or for anything that follows from publishing an output file. Keep your originals. Every tool produces a new file rather than overwriting your source, but a backup is your responsibility, not ours.

Where liability cannot lawfully be excluded, it is limited to the amount you paid us to use the service, which is nothing.

Nothing in these terms excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot be excluded under the law that applies to you.

9. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify us against claims, losses and reasonable costs arising from your misuse of the site or your breach of these terms, including any claim that material you processed infringed someone else's rights.

10. Third-party links and advertising

The site links to external resources and displays advertising supplied by third parties. We do not control that content and are not responsible for it. A link is not an endorsement. Advertising is covered by our privacy policy and cookie policy.

11. Availability and changes to the service

We may add, change, suspend or remove any part of the site at any time, including individual tools. Notable changes are recorded in the changelog. We do not guarantee any level of uptime. Because processing happens in your browser, a page you already have open will usually keep working even if the site itself becomes unreachable.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. The date at the top shows when the wording genuinely last changed, and it is not generated automatically. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms. For a material change we will also note it in the changelog.

13. Severability and waiver

If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in force and the unenforceable provision is applied to the maximum extent permitted. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.

14. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws applicable at our principal place of business, and disputes are subject to the courts there, except where consumer protection law in your own country gives you the right to bring proceedings locally. Nothing here removes a right you have as a consumer that cannot be removed by agreement.

15. Copyright complaints

If you believe material on this site infringes your copyright, our DMCA and copyright page explains how to send a notice and what happens next.
