Pixgan is operated by an independent individual developer based in Ontario, Canada ("the Developer", "we"). By installing or using Pixgan ("the App"), or by signing up on pixgan.com, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
The App is not directed to children. You must be at least the age of digital consent in your country (13–16 depending on jurisdiction) to use the App, and at least 18 to participate in the invite-only test program.
Pixgan is a young product (initially distributed through an invite-only test program, later generally). It may contain errors, features may change or be removed, and the App or any program you access it through may be updated, paused, or discontinued at any time without notice. Use it accordingly — try it with unimportant copies of photos first, and never make it the only home of anything you care about. Pixgan is not designed or offered for archival, evidentiary, medical, or other critical purposes.
You are granted a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App on devices you own or control, for personal, non-commercial use.
Pixgan compresses your photos and reconstructs them, entirely on your device, using AI. It analyzes each image and picks the right approach automatically, across three quality levels (shown in the App under "Quality"):
To protect readability, Pixgan never aggressively downscales text or high-detail content — those areas are kept full-resolution.
You can compress photos one at a time, or choose folders and compress them as a background batch that continues with your screen off. All of this runs entirely on your device.
We claim no rights whatsoever over your photos. They are processed entirely on your device and are never transmitted to, seen by, or stored by the Developer.
The App — including its code, AI models, name, and artwork — belongs to the Developer and is protected by intellectual-property law; no rights are granted to you other than the license above. If you send feedback or suggestions, you agree we may use them without restriction or compensation.
You agree not to: copy, redistribute, sell, rent, or sublicense the App; reverse engineer, decompile, or extract its models or source code except to the extent a law expressly permits it despite this term; use the App to process images you have no right to process; or use it in violation of applicable law.
THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the App will be error-free or that any compressed or restored image will meet your expectations.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE DEVELOPER WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PHOTOS, PROFITS, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE APP — even if advised of the possibility. Where liability cannot be excluded or fully limited, the Developer's total liability is limited to the greater of (a) the amounts you paid for the App in the 12 months before the claim and (b) CAD $50.
You are responsible for maintaining your own backups of important photos, and for ensuring you have the right to process the images you use with the App and that doing so complies with any laws applicable to you.
Batch compression runs intensive AI processing on your device and can use significant battery and generate heat, especially over large photo libraries. The App monitors your device's temperature and battery and will pause and later resume to help protect your device; it is best run while charging. You choose when to run it and do so at your discretion. To the extent permitted by law, the Developer is not responsible for normal battery consumption, heat, or device wear arising from on-device processing.
If you choose to use "Delete originals", you do so at your own risk: you confirm you understand that the deletion is permanent, that the remaining compressed copy is an AI-restorable version and not an identical copy of the original, and that you — not the Developer — are responsible for that choice.
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify the Developer against claims by third parties arising from your content, your misuse of the App, or your violation of these terms.
We may suspend or end the license (including your access to the test program) at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive — including the warranty disclaimer, limitation of liability, indemnity, and governing law — survive termination.
The App includes third-party open-source software under permissive licenses; see the Open-Source Licenses notice in the App for details and attributions.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits any rights you have as a consumer that cannot be excluded or limited under the law of your country (for example, mandatory rights under EU consumer law, the UK Consumer Rights Act 2015, the Australian Consumer Law, or similar). Where such mandatory law conflicts with these terms, that law prevails to the extent of the conflict.
The App is distributed through Google Play. Google is not a party to these terms, has no obligations to you in respect of the App, and is not responsible for it or for any claims relating to it.
Talk to us first: email hello@pixgan.com with the issue, and we will try in good faith to resolve it within 30 days. If we can't, disputes will be resolved in the courts of the Province of Ontario, Canada — except that if the mandatory consumer law of your country of residence gives you the right to bring proceedings in your local courts, these terms do not take that right away.
These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein — without depriving you of the mandatory consumer protections of your country of residence.
If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. These terms (together with the Privacy Policy) are the entire agreement between you and the Developer about the App. A failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it.
We may update these terms; the "Last updated" date will change and the version you accepted is recorded. Continued use after a material change, or re-accepting when asked, means you agree to the updated terms.
