Collage Maker Guide

Private Collage Maker — architecture, not a retention promise

Privacy here is the absence of an upload. We do not ask you to believe a 24-hour deletion email. If the bytes never leave the device, there is nothing for us to delete.

How “on-device” is implemented

Object URLs instead of multipart POST

When you drop a file, the studio creates a blob URL and paints it in an image element. Export walks that DOM with html2canvas and triggers a download from the resulting blob. There is no collage API that accepts your JPEGs. Technical users can confirm in the Network panel: you should not see the photo payloads going to Convertify4u hosts as the board is built. Analytics or usage pings, if any elsewhere on the site, are not a substitute for “we stored your wedding album.” This spoke exists so that sentence is documented next to the tool, not buried in a legal footer.

What privacy is not

We cannot protect a laptop that is already malware-ridden, a shoulder-surfer, or a screenshot you later drop into Instagram (Instagram will then have the picture). Closing the tab drops the blob URLs; that is also not a secure-erase of your Downloads folder after you save. If the brief is HIPAA-grade document control, you still need organizational policy. What this page offers is narrower and real: Convertify4u is not an extra copy of the shoot.

Compare with “encrypted upload” marketing

Encrypted-in-transit still means a server holds a copy, even briefly. Auto-delete policies are promises about someone else’s disk. Local Canvas skips that class of risk. That is why journalists, clinics assembling a non-diagnostic photo grid, and families who simply do not want a new cloud account all land here. Pair it with the free spoke if the other fear was an email wall, and with the professional spoke if the other fear was a client portal.

How it works

  1. 1

    Work on a device you control

    A personal laptop beats a hotel kiosk. Privacy of the pipeline cannot fix a public machine.

  2. 2

    Add files from disk

    Prefer the file picker over a random messaging-app cache if the conversation is sensitive.

  3. 3

    Save, then close the tab

    The working copies live in memory. The lasting copy is whatever you downloaded — store that where your policy says.

Use cases

Family albums

Kids’ faces that you do not want sitting in a random collage SaaS.

Unreleased product

SKU photos before the embargo date.

Legal and claims support visuals

A grid of site photos for a PDF you will assemble yourself — the images never parked in our bucket.

Personal medical or home documentation

Non-diagnostic photo sets you would not casually upload. This is not a medical device.

Problems we solve

Policy PDFs instead of architecture

“We delete in 24 hours” still implies we had the file. We do not, on this path.

Account graphs

Login-required editors attach your album to an identity. No identity is required here.

Shared-link galleries

Some tools generate a URL for the collage. This one generates a file in Downloads.

Trust & technology

Inspectable

Network tools will show you whether image bytes are posted. We invite that check.

No collage retention story

There is no “your collages” library on a Convertify4u account for this tool.

Session ends with the tab

Refresh clears the working set. Save first if you still need the board.
