Agreement
Araluma (araluma.com, “the service”) is a set of free online image tools. Using any page or tool of the service means you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, please do not use Araluma.
Your pictures remain yours
We claim no ownership or license over the files you open, and none over what the tools produce. You may use the results for any lawful purpose, private or commercial, without paying us anything. Exports carry no watermark and we add no identifying metadata to them. Whatever rights you held over the original, you hold over the result.
Where a picture is processed depends on the tool. Circle Crop, Crop Image and Resize work inside your browser. Compress, Background Remover, Upscale, conversions to AVIF, batch conversions and PDFs made from several images send your files to our servers and providers, which is why those tools need a connection. The privacy policy names each route, each provider and how long anything is kept. In short, files sent to us are used only to produce your result, are deleted automatically, and are never used to train models.
Fair use of the service
You agree not to:
- process pictures you have no right to use. If the image belongs to someone else, get their permission first.
- produce material that is unlawful where you live or where the people shown live, such as sexual content involving minors, defamation or copyright infringement.
- attack or overload the service, for example by scraping at a pace that slows it for others, dodging rate limits or security controls, or probing for vulnerabilities outside responsible disclosure (report those to support@araluma.com).
- go around the file-size caps and daily per-connection limits that the server-backed tools apply. The limits are what keeps those tools free for everyone.
- present Araluma, its design or its code as your own product.
A free service, provided as it is
Araluma costs nothing and comes with no warranty, express or implied. That includes, as far as the law allows, any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy or non-infringement. We work to keep every tool running and correct, yet we cannot promise that a given result will suit your purpose, that every browser will be supported, or that the service will be free of errors or interruptions.
Changes to the service
Tools may be added, changed or withdrawn, page addresses may move, and the service may pause for maintenance. The providers behind the server-backed tools may also be replaced by equivalent ones, in which case the privacy policy is updated at the same moment. We avoid removing features people depend on, but no tool, format or endpoint is guaranteed to exist forever.
If these terms change in a meaningful way, this page is updated, and larger changes are announced on the home page.
Paid plans
Every tool on Araluma is free today. If an optional paid plan is ever introduced, its billing, refund and license conditions will be published on this page before it starts. Tools that are free now will stay free. A paid plan could only add new capabilities on top.
Advertising
Araluma shows ads served by Google AdSense on its tool pages, while the home page and the legal pages carry none. How advertising cookies work and how to refuse them is explained in the privacy policy. We do not choose individual ads. An ad you think breaks Google’s rules can be reported through Google’s own controls.
Intellectual property
The Araluma name, design, text, illustrations and source code belong to the project, and the source code is not public. Names such as Discord, Instagram, LinkedIn, iPhone, HEIC, Cloudflare or ImageKit are trademarks of their owners and appear only to describe what a tool does or which provider it relies on.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, neither Araluma nor its operator is liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages resulting from use of the service, such as lost data, lost profit or interrupted business, even if warned that such damage was possible. Our total liability under these terms is capped at USD 100.
Indemnity
If a claim is brought against us because you used the service in breach of these terms (for example by processing pictures you had no right to use, or for an unlawful purpose), you agree to cover the resulting damages and costs, including reasonable legal fees.
Applicable law
Brazilian law governs these terms, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Disputes that cannot be settled informally go to the courts of São Paulo, Brazil, which have exclusive jurisdiction, except where consumer protection law in your country entitles you to sue locally.
