Privacy Policy
Last updated: 9 August 2026
PrintReal does not collect your images, does not use cookies, does not run analytics and has no accounts. This page explains what that means in practice, and what does get stored.
Your images never leave your device
Every image operation in PrintReal — measuring, laying out, splitting into poster tiles, generating the PDF, AI upscaling — runs inside your browser, on your own hardware. The files you open are never transmitted to PrintReal or to anyone else.
This is a property of how the site is built rather than a promise about how we behave: there is no server that receives images, no storage bucket, and no account to attach them to. When you close the tab, the images are gone from the page along with it.
What is stored on your device
A few small things are saved locally, in your own browser, so the tools behave sensibly between visits. None of it is sent anywhere.
- Language preference: the language you pick in the switcher, so the site opens in it next time.
- Interface preferences: small settings such as the cut-line thickness in the Real size tool.
- Language suggestion dismissals: a record that you said "no" to the "switch language?" card, so it stops asking.
- Hand-off storage: when you send an image from Upscale to Real size or Poster, the image is held briefly in your browser's local database (IndexedDB) so the next page can pick it up. It stays on your device.
- Offline cache: a service worker stores the site's own HTML, CSS, JavaScript and fonts so the tools keep working without a connection. It caches the site, not your files.
Cookies and analytics
PrintReal sets no cookies. There is no analytics service, no tracking pixel, no advertising script and no third-party session recording. We do not build a profile of you, because we collect nothing to build one from.
The local storage described above is not a cookie and is not transmitted with requests — it is read only by the page itself, on your device.
Third parties that do see something
Two unavoidable ones, and it would be dishonest not to name them.
- Hosting: the site is served by Vercel, which — like any web host — processes the technical request data needed to deliver a page, such as your IP address, and keeps standard server logs. We do not add anything to those logs and do not use them to identify anyone.
- Google Fonts: the interface typeface is loaded from Google's font servers, which means your browser makes a request to them and they see your IP address. No PrintReal data is attached to it.
Children
PrintReal is a general-purpose utility with no account system and no data collection, so there is nothing for a child to sign up to or hand over. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, of any age.
Your rights
Rights such as access, correction, deletion and portability exist to give you control over data an organisation holds about you. We hold none: no account, no images, no analytics, no contact record beyond an email you chose to send. There is accordingly nothing to export or erase on our side, and everything stored on your side can be cleared by you at any moment.
If you have emailed me, that email exists in an inbox like any other. Ask and I will delete it.
Changes to this policy
If PrintReal ever adds something that changes this picture — advertising, analytics, or any feature that involves a server — this page will be updated before that change goes live, and the date at the top will say so.
