1. Agreement to Terms
By accessing and using Snap Tools (the "Site" or "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you are prohibited from using or accessing this site. The materials contained in this website are protected by applicable copyright and trademark law.
2. Description of Service & Local Processing
Snap Tools provides a suite of online digital utilities, including but not limited to:
- Image Tools: Resizing, compressing, cropping, format conversion (JPG, PNG, WEBP, SVG, HEIC), color extraction, background removal, and watermarking.
- PDF Tools: Merging, splitting, compressing, rotating, paginating, unlocking, protecting, and format conversion.
- Misc Tools: QR Code generation.
Crucial Distinction: Unlike traditional cloud-based SaaS products, Snap Tools operates entirely client-side. This means that the processing of your files occurs locally on your machine via your web browser's JavaScript and WebAssembly engines. We do not upload your files to our servers for processing.
3. User Data & Intellectual Property Rights
A. Your Ownership
You retain full ownership, copyright, and intellectual property rights to any original files you upload into the browser, as well as the processed output files generated by our tools. Because we do not upload or store your files, we do not claim any ownership, license, or distribution rights over your content.
B. Snap Tools Intellectual Property
The visual design, codebase, branding, logos, and written content on the Site are the exclusive intellectual property of Snap Tools. You may not duplicate, copy, or reuse any portion of the HTML/CSS/JS or visual design elements without express written permission from us.
4. Acceptable Use License
We grant you a revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited license to use the Site strictly in accordance with these Terms. Under this license, you agree NOT to:
- Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to extract the source code of the Website, its WASM modules, or proprietary algorithms.
- Use the Service to process illegal, non-consensual, explicit, or malicious content. While we cannot technically monitor your local browser activity, you assume 100% legal liability for the files you process and possess.
- Bypass, circumvent, or exploit any security measures or usage limitations.
- Employ automated systems (such as bots, scrapers, or headless browsers) that repeatedly hit our servers to download our client-side assets in a way that disrupts the Service for other users.
- Use the Service for any purpose that violates local, state, national, or international law.
5. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE MATERIALS AND TOOLS ON SNAP TOOLS ARE PROVIDED ON AN 'AS IS' AND 'AS AVAILABLE' BASIS. Snap Tools makes no warranties, expressed or implied, and hereby disclaims and negates all other warranties including, without limitation, implied warranties or conditions of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement of intellectual property or other violation of rights.
Furthermore, Snap Tools does not warrant or make any representations concerning the accuracy, likely results, or reliability of the use of the materials on its website. We do not guarantee that our tools will flawlessly process every corrupted or highly non-standard file you provide.
6. Limitations of Liability
IN NO EVENT SHALL SNAP TOOLS, ITS DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE. This includes, without limitation, damages for:
- Loss of data or permanent file corruption (always keep backups of your original files before processing).
- Loss of profit, revenue, or business interruption.
- Hardware failure or browser crashes resulting from heavy client-side processing (e.g., attempting to process a 5GB PDF on a low-memory device).
Because some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on implied warranties, or limitations of liability for consequential or incidental damages, these limitations may not apply to you.

Snap Tools does not warrant that any of the materials on its website are accurate, complete, or current. We may make changes to the materials contained on its website at any time without notice.

10. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution
