Solution
GDPR-friendly image compression without image uploads
Sending employee or client images to a third-party cloud API creates data processing questions. ConV avoids this entirely: the compression pipeline runs in your browser — your images never reach ConV servers.
There is no server-side image processing to audit. The architecture supports GDPR data minimization: image bytes are not transferred, not stored, and not processed outside your device.
ConV does not certify GDPR compliance and does not provide legal advice. We provide a zero-upload architecture that simplifies the data-processing question for image compression.
Key benefits
- Zero-upload: images never transmitted to any server
- Supports GDPR data minimization architecture principles
- No third-party image API processing agreements needed
- EXIF and GPS stripped on re-encode
Common use cases
- GDPR compliance teams reviewing cloud tool usage
- European agencies replacing TinyPNG or CloudConvert
- Teams in regulated industries (healthcare, legal, finance)
- Public sector teams with strict data processing controls
How it works
- 01
Images are processed exclusively in browser memory
- 02
WASM codecs compress without transmitting data
- 03
No EU personal data enters any third-party processing pipeline
- 04
Download compressed files from your device
Limitations and realistic expectations
ConV does not constitute legal advice and does not certify GDPR or DSGVO compliance. The zero-upload architecture supports data minimization principles, but your specific obligations depend on your use case, data types, and applicable regulations. Consult qualified legal counsel.
Frequently asked questions
Does ConV guarantee GDPR compliance?
No. ConV provides a zero-upload architecture. Whether this satisfies your specific GDPR obligations depends on your use case. Consult a qualified legal professional.
Do I need a DPA with ConV for image compression?
Because ConV does not process images on its servers, a standard DPA for image processing may not be required. Verify with your legal team.
Is ConV GDPR-certified?
No. ConV is not certified and does not claim certification. We provide a local processing architecture.
Can I use ConV to process images containing personal data?
The zero-upload architecture means image content does not reach our servers. You remain responsible for your compliance obligations under applicable law.

Remove EXIF and GPS metadata before publishing images
Images taken with smartphones and cameras embed metadata including GPS coordinates, device model, serial numbers, and timestamps. Publishing images without stripping this data can expose personal or sensitive information.
Image optimization for European compliance contexts
EU hosting helps — but you only avoid uploads if image bytes are never transferred. Local WASM pipelines are the strongest lever for data minimization.
A no-upload TinyPNG alternative for European teams
TinyPNG uploads your images to their API. For many use cases that is fine — but for teams handling confidential imagery, client photos, or regulated content, a local alternative is preferable.
