YOUR PHOTOS. A LITTLE CONTEXT.

Privacy, plainly.

This explains what happens when you use AI Photo Styler at aiphotostyler.com. The tool does not require an account, payment information, or an email address.

When you choose a photo

Your browser checks and resizes your photo before generation. The normalized image is a JPEG with a maximum long edge of 1024 pixels. Canvas conversion removes the original file’s metadata from the image sent for processing. Selecting a file alone does not send it to the image-generation provider.

When you generate a style

After you select “Make it eighties,” our server uploads the normalized photo to temporary fal.ai storage and shares its retrieval link with SeeAPI for an automated content safety check. If the check passes, fal.ai generates your chosen style. SeeAPI also checks the generated photo before it is shown or made available for download. If either check flags the photo or cannot finish, we stop that request and return your personal free-photo slot. Cloudflare provides hosting and, when enabled, a Turnstile check to limit automated abuse.

Both processing providers receive access to images needed for their services. We request a one-hour lifetime for the temporary fal.ai upload, but this is not a guarantee that all provider copies or logs are deleted after one hour. SeeAPI’s retention of moderation inputs is not controlled by our retrieval window. Please review fal.ai’s privacy policy , SeeAPI’s privacy policy and Cloudflare’s privacy policy before uploading sensitive images.

What our server keeps

Your input image is not saved in our application database. The database stores a generation identifier, selected style, status, hashes used to associate a job with its anonymous session and network allowance, and a provider result reference while retrieval remains available.

Completed images can be retrieved through this site for one hour. Private result references expire after that window. Limited, pseudonymous usage records may be retained for up to 35 days to enforce daily and monthly limits, prevent repeated submissions, and investigate technical errors. These records are not a public photo gallery. Infrastructure providers may also process connection and security logs under their own policies.

Your browser collection

The latest 10 completed photos and their original comparison images can be stored using IndexedDB in this browser. You can favorite, download or delete each photo. Favorites still belong to the latest-10 collection; they do not provide permanent storage.

The active generation is also saved locally so a refresh can check the same request. These records are not synchronized across devices or browsers. Clearing site data, using some private-browsing modes, or the browser freeing storage may remove them. Download any photo you want to keep. Deleting a browser photo removes the local copy; it does not issue a deletion request to fal.ai or SeeAPI or remove already retained usage records.

Cookies and the free allowance

An anonymous, essential session cookie lets the server return a result to the browser that requested it. A keyed hash of your network address helps enforce the free allowance. People sharing a network can therefore share a limit. The address is not displayed in the app or saved as plain text in the usage database. No account is created.

Turnstile, when enabled, processes information needed to verify legitimate use. Browser storage and the session cookie are needed for the editor’s core functions. We do not use advertising cookies or third-party analytics scripts.

Usage statistics: your choice

Basic statistics count visible public page openings and real button activations. A random first-party browser cookie lets us count browsers across pages for up to 30 days. This identifier is independent of optional usage statistics and is never linked to accounts, photos, generation tasks or payments. We record fixed event names, retry-deduplication keys, time, observed source category, coarse country and device type. We exclude identifiable bots, an explicit opt-out, Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track. The basic total is independent of optional page events: changing your optional choice does not count the same page twice. Browsers are not verified people; different devices and cleared site data affect the count.

You can allow optional detailed usage statistics using the choice in the studio footer. There is no popup and this option starts off. If you allow it, a separate random token associates visits with photo selection, style choice, server-confirmed generation, viewed results, comparison use, download requests, favorites and deletion. Neither basic nor optional statistics collect photos, prompts, filenames, full page or referrer URLs, email addresses, raw IP addresses, raw user-agent strings, advertising click identifiers or device fingerprints.

The basic browser cookie expires after 30 days. Basic browser associations are removed after 30 days; event deduplication records remain for 90 days and daily aggregates for 395 days. The optional preference and browser token expire after 30 days; optional statistics use sessionStorage and start a new visit after 30 minutes without activity. Optional visit and event associations are retained for 90 days and generation attribution for 35 days. The private report shows aggregate counts, not individual identifiers. Downloads mean a browser requested saving, not confirmed storage on your device. This free product has no paid checkout.

Choose “Keep statistics off” or “Turn statistics off” in the studio footer to stop both basic and optional collection. This clears the basic cookie and its event associations, removes optional browser storage and visits, and unlinks optional event and generation records. Previously aggregated counts and unlinked retry-deduplication keys remain. We honor Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track. Core processing and quota protection remain necessary to run the editor. Hosting providers may process security logs separately under their policies.

Choose photos thoughtfully

Upload photos you own or have permission to use. Get permission from other people shown in a photo, particularly when uploading a child’s image. Avoid identity documents, financial information, medical records, private intimate images, or other sensitive material. AI results can change faces and other details.
