Pixel Art Conversion Service: PixelMe Last updated: October 7, 2026 Operator: PixelMe / @sato_neet
This Privacy Policy (hereinafter "this Policy") describes how PixelMe (hereinafter "the Service") handles user information.
Pixel Art Conversion on the Website
Pixel art conversion on pixel-me.tokyo handles your photo as follows. These terms take precedence over the mobile-app descriptions below when they differ.
Data sent: When you choose a photo, the photo (which may show a face) and the pet mode setting are sent for conversion. A notice under the photo button links to this policy.
Processing location: The photo passes through Cloudflare's network to PixelMe's servers on Google Cloud in Tokyo, Japan, where it is converted. It is not sent to external AI services.
No storage: Neither the photo nor the result is stored or made public. The result is sent once to your browser; unless you save it, it is gone when you reload or leave the page.
Abuse prevention: To limit how often conversions can be requested, Cloudflare uses your IP address as a rate-limit key for about one minute. It is not stored for this purpose.
