Your Images Never Leave Your Device
MakeBW is fundamentally different from other online image tools. All our image processing happens locally in your browserβyour images are never uploaded to our servers.

How It Works Technically
MakeBW uses the HTML5 Canvas API to process images directly in your browser. When you select an image:
- The image loads into your browser's memory (not our servers)
- Our JavaScript code runs the conversion algorithm on your device
- The processed image downloads directly from your browser
- All data is automatically cleared when you close the page
Throughout this entire process, your images never leave your device. We can't even see what images you're processing.
What We Do Collect
Basic Analytics
We use anonymous analytics to understand site usage (like visit counts, popular features). This data contains no personally identifiable information and no data about images you process.
Essential Cookies
We use essential cookies to remember your language preference and theme settings. These cookies are stored only in your browser.
No Account Required
MakeBW's core features are completely free to use without creating an account. This means we don't collect your email, name, or any other personal information. You can use our service anonymously.
