Files from your device
When you upload a video, GIF or photo, it is opened and converted inside your browser. The finished sticker exists only on your device. Your last 12 stickers are kept in your browser’s own storage so you can copy them again later; nothing is sent to us, and Clear under “Your recent stickers” deletes them. Cutout (background removal) works the same way: the model runs in your browser and your picture never leaves it.
Video conversion
This is the one exception. If your browser can’t play a video (for example an iPhone video on an older Android phone), tosticker offers to convert it on our server. Only if you tap Convert it:
- the video is sent to our server over an encrypted connection;
- our server makes a smaller copy your browser can play (the first part of the video, at most two minutes, without sound) and sends it straight back;
- both files are deleted as soon as the copy is sent, and at the latest after 10 minutes if something goes wrong;
- nobody looks at it and no copy is kept. We only count conversions (format, size, time taken, success or not), with nothing that points to you or your video.
To stop one person from using up the converter, a scrambled (hashed) form of your IP address and the times of your conversions are kept for one hour, so each visitor gets a few conversions an hour. Your IP address also appears in the server logs described below, which are deleted within 14 days.
Links you paste
Some sites don’t let browsers download their files directly. When you paste a link from Tenor, Giphy or X, your browser sends that link to our server, which fetches the post or the file and passes it straight back to you. We don’t save the file, the sticker or the link.
Other links, such as a direct link to an .mp4 or .gif file, are downloaded by your browser without involving our server.
What our server keeps
- Standard web server logs: IP address, time, the page or file requested and your browser’s user agent. They help us keep the site running and are deleted within 14 days.
- To stop abuse, a scrambled (hashed) form of your IP address and the times of your recent link requests. These are discarded after 10 minutes.
- Daily totals, such as how many stickers were made as GIF or PNG, whether the clip came from a file or a link, and how many links from each site worked, and how many videos were converted. When a sticker is finished, your browser sends only its format and that file-or-link choice. These totals hold no IP address, no file, no link and nothing that tells visitors apart.
The links you paste are sent in the body of the request, so they don’t appear in those logs.
Cookies and tracking
tosticker’s own code sets no cookies. To keep the site free we use the Google services below, which run their own scripts from Google’s servers and set their own cookies.
Google Analytics
Google Analytics counts visits and shows which pages and features people use, for example that a sticker was made and whether it was a GIF or a PNG. It sets cookies such as _ga and sends Google your IP address, browser details and the pages you view. We never send it your files, the stickers or the links you paste. Visitors in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland are counted without cookies until they agree.
