Privacy policy

Last updated on July 14, 2026

The short version. Open Screenshot Generator was built so that your work never has to leave your computer. The editor has no accounts, no backend, and no analytics. Your projects, screenshots, and recordings are stored in your own browser and are never uploaded to us. We could not look at your designs even if we wanted to, because there is no server for them to reach

Who we are

Open Screenshot Generator is a free project with its source code public on GitHub. This policy covers the marketing website at openscrgen.app, the editor at editor.openscrgen.app, and the desktop app. If you have any question about it, open an issue on GitHub

What the editor stores, and where

• Projects you create are saved in your browser's IndexedDB storage, on your machine
• Screenshots and screen recordings you upload are stored in the same local database. They are never transmitted anywhere
• PNG and MP4 exports are rendered locally in your browser and downloaded straight to your disk
• A few preferences, such as panel layout, are kept in your browser's localStorage
• Clearing your browser's site data removes all of it. We keep no copy, because we never had one

The AI features are optional and direct

The AI agent only runs when you ask it to, and it talks directly to the provider you choose. There is no middle server operated by us

• If you bring your own API key, requests go from your browser straight to Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google. Your key is kept in memory, and it is only written to localStorage if you tick the remember option
• If you use your own account with a provider such as Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini, the app drives the session you already have with that provider. Your login stays between you and them
• Whatever you send to a provider, such as screenshots or instructions, is handled under that provider's own privacy policy. Choose a provider you trust

This website

The site you are reading is a set of static pages. It sets no cookies and runs no analytics or tracking scripts. Like any website, it is delivered by servers that may keep standard technical logs

• This website is hosted by Vercel, which may log requests, including IP addresses, under the Vercel privacy policy
• The editor is hosted by GitHub Pages, which may log requests in the same way, under the GitHub privacy statement
• Fonts load from Google Fonts on both this website and the editor, so your browser requests font files from Google under the Google privacy policy
• The three.js and GSAP libraries load from the jsDelivr content delivery network under the jsDelivr privacy policy

The desktop app

The desktop app works the same way as the browser version. Your projects and media stay on your device. It only reaches the network for things you explicitly ask for, such as loading templates and fonts, checking a provider you selected, or running the AI agent

Children

The service does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children, because it does not collect personal information at all

Changes to this policy

If the way the project handles data ever changes, this page will be updated and the date at the top will move. Significant changes will also be noted in the project's release notes on GitHub
