Your Images Stay Completely Private
Graviton uses server-side streaming to process images entirely in memory. Your files never touch disk storage, are never retained, and are discarded the instant compression is complete.
Why Privacy Matters for Image Compression
Most online image compression tools require you to upload your files to their servers, where images may be stored temporarily — or sometimes indefinitely. Some services retain uploaded images for caching, analytics, or model training purposes. For businesses handling product photos, client deliverables, or any proprietary visual content, this creates a real data exposure risk.
Graviton takes a fundamentally different approach. Images are processed using server-side streaming, meaning your file data flows through memory and is compressed on the fly. Nothing is written to disk. The compressed result is streamed back to you, and the original data is discarded from memory immediately. There is no file system storage, no database of uploaded images, and no way for anyone — including Graviton — to access your files after processing.
Server-Side Streaming
Your image data is processed as a stream that flows through the server's memory. The compression happens in-flight — data enters, gets compressed, and exits without ever being written to disk or any persistent storage.
In-Memory Processing Only
All image processing occurs entirely in RAM. No temporary files are created, no disk caches are used, and no file system artifacts remain. When processing completes, the memory is released and your data is gone.
Immediate Data Discard
The moment your compressed image is delivered, all associated data — the original upload, intermediate processing buffers, and any metadata — is discarded from memory. There is zero data retention.
No Data Retention
Graviton does not maintain a database of uploaded images, does not log file contents, and does not use your images for any secondary purpose. The only data Graviton stores is your account information and compression history metadata.
How Secure Processing Works
Your images are processed and discarded in a single secure flow.
Upload Securely
Your image is uploaded over an encrypted HTTPS connection. The data stream is directed to the compression engine in memory — it is never written to a file on the server.
Processed in Memory
The compression algorithm processes your image data entirely in RAM using server-side streaming. No temporary files, no disk I/O, no persistent storage at any point.
Compressed Result Returned
The compressed image is streamed back to your browser over the same encrypted HTTPS connection. You download the result directly to your device.
Original Discarded Instantly
As soon as the compressed result is delivered, all data associated with your image — original, buffers, metadata — is released from memory. Nothing remains on the server.
Privacy and Security Benefits
Designed from the ground up to protect your image data.
No Image Storage
Your images are never saved to disk or any persistent storage. Server-side streaming means data exists only in memory during processing.
Server-Side Only
Processing happens on secure servers — not in third-party browser plugins or unknown infrastructure. You control the upload; Graviton handles the rest in memory.
GDPR Compliant
With no image data retention, Graviton's processing model aligns with GDPR data minimization principles. Your image data is not collected or stored.
No Third-Party Access
Graviton does not share, sell, or provide your image data to any third party. No analytics services, no CDN caches, and no training datasets have access to your files.
Encrypted Transfer
All uploads and downloads use HTTPS encryption. Your image data is protected in transit between your browser and Graviton's servers.
No Data Retention
There is no retention period because there is no retention. Data is discarded from memory immediately after processing completes. There is nothing to delete later.
Frequently Asked Questions
Your images are uploaded over HTTPS to Graviton's servers, where they are processed entirely in memory using server-side streaming. The image data flows through the compression engine as a stream — it is never written to disk, saved to a database, or stored in any persistent form.
They are not stored at all. Graviton uses in-memory processing with server-side streaming. Your image data exists in RAM only for the duration of the compression operation. The moment the compressed result is sent back to you, all data is released from memory.
Nobody. Because images are processed in memory and discarded immediately, there is no stored copy for anyone to access — not Graviton employees, not third-party services, and not other users. The only record is metadata about the compression (file size, format, reduction ratio) stored in your account history.
Graviton's in-memory processing model aligns with GDPR data minimization principles because image data is not collected or stored. Account data (email, usage statistics) is managed through Clerk authentication with appropriate data protection measures. Graviton does not retain, process, or share your image content beyond the immediate compression operation.
Yes. All data transfer between your browser and Graviton's servers uses HTTPS (TLS) encryption. This protects your image data from interception while it is in transit. On the server side, data is processed in memory and never written to unencrypted storage.
