The short version
- Your media files never leave your device for the standard, in-browser tools.
- We don't sell your data, ever.
- We collect only what's needed to run the service and understand which tools are used.
- You can use most tools without creating an account.
Files you edit
Every core tool runs client-side using FFmpeg.wasm, the Canvas API and pdf-lib. When you open a file, it is read into your browser's memory and processed on your own device. It is not transmitted to us, stored by us, or accessible to us. When you close or reload the page, that in-memory copy is gone.
Premium “server fallback” processing for very large files is the one exception: if you explicitly choose it, the file is uploaded to a processing worker, converted, and then deleted. We describe that flow at the point you use it.
Information we collect
- Anonymous usage events. When a tool runs we log a small record — which tool, approximate file size, and success or failure — with no file contents and no personal identifiers. This tells us which tools to improve.
- Account data. If you sign up, we store your email address and authentication details so you can log in and see your job history.
- Billing data. Payments are handled by Stripe. We never see or store your full card details — only a customer reference and subscription status.
- Technical logs. Standard server logs (IP address, browser type, timestamps) are kept briefly for security and abuse prevention.
Cookies
We use essential cookies to keep the site working and to remember your preferences, including your cookie-consent choice. With your consent we also use analytics and advertising cookies (see below). You can change or withdraw your consent at any time from the cookie banner, and control cookies in your browser settings.
Advertising & Google AdSense
On the free, ad-supported experience we use Google AdSense to display ads. Google and its partners use cookies — including the DoubleClick cookie — to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. This helps keep the core tools free.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your visits.
- Google's use of advertising cookies lets it and its partners serve ads to you based on your visits to our site and others.
- You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings (adssettings.google.com), or opt out of third-party vendors' cookies at aboutads.info.
- In the EEA, UK and Switzerland we ask for your consent before setting non-essential advertising and analytics cookies, and only serve personalised ads where you have consented.

Third-party services
We rely on a small number of providers to operate: Stripe for payments, an authentication provider for sign-in, and hosting/analytics vendors. Each processes only the limited data needed for its function and under its own privacy terms.
Data retention
Usage events are retained in aggregate. Account and billing records are kept for as long as your account is active and as required by law. You can delete your account at any time, which removes your personal data from our active systems.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export or delete your personal data. Because your files are never uploaded, there is nothing on our side to request for them — but for account data you can contact us to exercise these rights.
Children
Dexta Studio is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the product evolves. Material changes will be reflected in the “last updated” date above and, where appropriate, communicated to registered users.
