At GridPDF and Grid Photo (accessible via gridpdf.com and gridpdf.com/image-tools/), the privacy and confidentiality of our visitors and users are our absolute highest priorities. This Privacy Policy outlines how our tools handle your documents and images.
Unlike traditional online tools that require you to upload your sensitive files to a remote cloud server, GridPDF and Grid Photo utilize advanced browser-based technologies (HTML5 Canvas, JavaScript libraries, WebAssembly, and Mozilla PDF.js). This means:
To provide high-performance editing and conversion, our suites load specific scripts into your browser. Below is how our tools operate regarding internet connectivity and processing:
| Tool Category | Tool Names | Operational Mode & Libraries |
|---|---|---|
| 100% Offline / Client-Side | mergepdf, split pdf, removepages, extract pages, organize pdf, compress pdf (light), pdf to jpg, jpg to pdf, watermark, sign pdf, rotate pdf, unlock pdf, protect pdf, pagenumbers, comparepdf, delete pages | Runs completely inside your browser using client-side JavaScript libraries (e.g., pdf-lib, PDF.js). Once the page loads, no internet connection is required to process files. |
| Hybrid / Internet-Assisted Libraries | ai-reader, pdf to word, pdf to excel, pdf to ppt, pdf to text, pdf to pdfa, word to pdf, excel to pdf, ppt to pdf, html to pdf, translatepdf, edit pdf, ocr pdf, repair pdf, make cv | May require downloading specialized parsing or rendering libraries (such as Tesseract.js for OCR or translation/AI APIs) over the internet during execution to handle complex structural formatting. |
| Tool Category | Tool Names | Operational Mode & Libraries |
|---|---|---|
| 100% Offline / Client-Side | passport maker, qr code generator, id card generator, compress image, image resizer, rotate image, smart crop, blur tool, brightness control, invert colors, grayscale, collage maker, photo editor, meme generator, add watermark, text overlay, sticker maker, image to pdf, pdf to image, heic to jpg, webp converter, gif maker, exif metadata cleaner, color picker, bulk resize, favicon generator, mirror image, photo frames and badges | Runs entirely on your device via HTML5 Canvas and browser image processing APIs. Completely private and offline-capable after the initial page cache. |
| Internet-Assisted / External Services | ai background remover, ai image enhancer, ai colorizer, ai face retouching, ai object eraser, html to image converter, website screenshot | These advanced AI enhancement tools or server-rendering web capture utilities may securely route specific requests through lightweight processing endpoints or high-speed APIs. |
We collect minimal, non-personally identifiable technical telemetry to maintain service performance, such as browser type, device type, language preference, and basic error logs.
We use basic session cookies to manage user preferences (such as language switching between English and Swahili) and optimize your browsing experience.
Third-party ad networks (including Google AdSense) use cookies, JavaScript, or web beacons to display personalized advertisements based on your prior visits to our websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our sites and/or other sites on the Internet.

Katika GridPDF na Grid Photo (zinazopatikana kupitia gridpdf.com and gridpdf.com/image-tools/), faragha na usiri wa wageni na watumiaji wetu ni kipaumbele chetu kikuu. Sera hii ya Faragha inaeleza jinsi zana zetu zinavyoshughulikia nyaraka na picha zako.
Tofauti na zana za nyingi za mtandaoni zinazohitaji upakie faili zako nyeti kwenye seva ya wingu (cloud server), GridPDF na Grid Photo zinatumia teknolojia za kisasa za vivinjari (HTML5 Canvas, maktaba za JavaScript, WebAssembly, na Mozilla PDF.js). Hii inamaanisha:
Ili kutoa huduma za haraka na za kiwango cha juu, mifumo yetu hupakia maandiko (scripts) maalum kwenye kivinjari chako. Hapa chini ni jinsi zana zetu zinavyofanya kazi kiteknolojia:
| Aina ya Zana | Majina ya Zana | Mfumo wa Uendeshaji na Maktaba |
|---|---|---|
| 100% Offline / Ndani ya Kifaa | mergepdf, split pdf, removepages, extract pages, organize pdf, compress pdf (light), pdf to jpg, jpg to pdf, watermark, sign pdf, rotate pdf, unlock pdf, protect pdf, pagenumbers, comparepdf, delete pages | Inafanya kazi kabisa ndani ya kivinjari chako kwa kutumia maktaba za JavaScript za upande wa mteja (mfano: pdf-lib, PDF.js). Ukurasa ukishapakiwa, huhitaji intaneti kuchakata faili. |
| Mseto / Inayohitaji Intaneti kwa Ajili ya Maktaba | ai-reader, pdf to word, pdf to excel, pdf to ppt, pdf to text, pdf to pdfa, word to pdf, excel to pdf, ppt to pdf, html to pdf, translatepdf, edit pdf, ocr pdf, repair pdf, make cv | Inaweza kuhitaji kupakua maktaba maalum za kusoma au kuchakata (kama Tesseract.js kwa ajili ya OCR au API za kutafsiri/AI) kupitia mtandao wakati wa utekelezaji. |
| Aina ya Zana | Majina ya Zana | Mfumo wa Uendeshaji na Maktaba |
|---|---|---|
| 100% Offline / Ndani ya Kifaa | passport maker, qr code generator, id card generator, compress image, image resizer, rotate image, smart crop, blur tool, brightness control, invert colors, grayscale, collage maker, photo editor, meme generator, add watermark, text overlay, sticker maker, image to pdf, pdf to image, heic to jpg, webp converter, gif maker, exif metadata cleaner, color picker, bulk resize, favicon generator, mirror image, photo frames and badges | Inafanya kazi nzima kwenye kifaa chako kupitia HTML5 Canvas na API za usindikaji wa picha za kivinjari. Ina faragha kamili na inafanya kazi bila intaneti baada ya kufunguliwa mara ya kwanza. |
| Mseto / Inayohitaji Intaneti kwa Ajili ya Maktaba | ai background remover, ai image enhancer, ai colorizer, ai face retouching, ai object eraser, html to image converter, website screenshot | Zana hizi za juu za AI au mifumo ya kuchukua picha za skrini (screenshots) inaweza kupeleka maombi maalum kwa usalama kupitia miundombinu ya haraka ya mtandao. |
Tunakusanya taarifa ndogo za kiufundi zisizomtambulisha mtu binafsi ili kudumisha utendaji wa huduma, kama vile aina ya kivinjari, aina ya kifaa, lugha unayopendelea, na kumbukumbu za makosa (error logs).
Tunatumia vidakuzi vya msingi vya kipindi (session cookies) kusimamia mapendeleo ya mtumiaji (kama kubadilisha lugha kati ya Kiingereza na Kiswahili) na kuboresha uzoefu wako wa kuvinjari.
Mitandao ya matangazo ya wahusika wengine (ikiwemo Google AdSense) inatumia vidakuzi, JavaScript, au web beacons kuonyesha matangazo maalum kulingana na ziara zako za hapa nyuma kwenye tovuti zetu. Matumizi ya Google ya vidakuzi vya matangazo huwezesha yenyewe na washirika wake kuonyesha matangazo kulingana na ziara zako kwenye tovuti zetu na/au tovuti zingine kwenye mtandao.
Sera yetu ya Faragha haihusu watangazaji wa wahusika wengine au tovuti za nje zilizounganishwa ndani ya mfumo wetu. Tunakuhimiza kupitia sera zao za faragha.
Ikiwa una maswali yoyote au mashaka kuhusu Sera hii ya Faragha au mfumo wetu wa uchakataji ndani ya kifaa chako, tafadhali wasiliana nasi kupitia [email protected].
