Privacy Policy

Who we are

PhotoToGIF (phototogif.com) is the data controller for personal data processed by the Service. This Privacy Policy covers the website at https://phototogif.com. “PhotoToGIF”, “we”, “us” and “our” mean that operator. PhotoToGIF is operated under the laws of the People's Republic of China (mainland China).

Privacy questions and data requests go to support@phototogif.com.

Purchases are processed by our merchant of record, Waffo Pancake (Waffo.com Limited), which acts as an independent controller for payment, billing and tax data under its own Privacy Policy: https://www.waffo.ai/privacy. We receive order details such as product, amount, currency, status and the account the credits were delivered to, so we can add credits and support refunds, but never your full card number. Those order records are not deleted on the 24-hour or 30-day media schedule below.

Photos, GIFs, and accounts

The free converter processes source photos in your browser. Downloading a GIF keeps the file on your device. If you explicitly save a finished multi-photo GIF to your account, that file is uploaded to private cloud storage and deleted within 30 days, or sooner if you delete it. Those original photos stay on your device. Photos are not scanned.

If you sign in, we store account details such as your name, email address, and the sign-in provider, along with session information. A saved GIF is associated with your account. We keep its dimensions, file size, creation time, and a storage reference so you can see and delete it.

We use session cookies to keep you signed in. We do not sell your personal information. Card numbers are handled by the payment provider during checkout. PhotoToGIF does not store card numbers.

AI photos and results

When you start an AI GIF job, the source image and the motion prompt are sent to fal.ai, a third-party AI processor, which runs the TBC Mischief 1 image-to-video model (API model identifier: tbc/mischief-1/image-to-video). fal processes that data under its own privacy policy: https://fal.ai/privacy.

A source image uploaded for generation is deleted within 24 hours. The generated result, including the video and the GIF made from it, is deleted within 30 days unless you delete it sooner. AI results are private. They are not published, and they are not used as public examples.

The motion prompt is stored with the job record. Deleting the source image or the result does not, by itself, erase that prompt text from the job record.

PhotoToGIF does not keep backup copies of uploaded photos, saved GIFs, or AI results. When a file is deleted, or when the 24-hour or 30-day time above is reached, the file is removed from cloud storage. It cannot be restored. Order records are not deleted on this schedule.

The photo is not scanned. Nothing in the service inspects an image for nudity or for a real face. Before an AI job is sent to the model, the server compares the motion description with a blocklist.

The free editor still handles photos in your browser unless you choose to save a finished GIF.

Other providers

Cloudflare provides hosting, the database, file storage, and security checks. Google processes Google sign-in when you choose that option. These providers receive only what they need to perform that work. Cloudflare and fal may process data in countries other than your own.

Your requests

You can email support@phototogif.com to ask for access to, correction of, or deletion of your account and the personal data we hold. Deleting a saved GIF removes its cloud file. Deleting an AI result removes the private video and GIF. We may update this policy. The date at the top of this page changes when we do.

Children

PhotoToGIF is not intended for anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
