What selecting a file means
Selecting a vector gives the running editor access to that file so it can read the geometry on your device. The selected artwork is not submitted to an online conversion queue. Your file’s shapes and model coordinates are processed by code running in the browser. A page view and a conversion event are separate from the artwork itself: they describe use of the tool rather than transmitting the design that you are working on.
This distinction also applies when you use the sample artwork. Analytics can record that the sample was used, but it does not need a copy of an uploaded design to count conversions. If you open a project in the sheet-metal workspace, the project contents are read to restore its editable state. Keep control of the original files and any downloaded copies through your device’s own file-management and backup settings.
Files you choose to download or share
The converter creates downloadable models on your device. The sheet-metal workspace also lets you save an editable project file locally. Downloaded files remain wherever your browser saves them until you move or delete them. They are not removed by closing TinyJig. If your Downloads folder is synchronized by another service, that service operates according to your own device and account settings.
Uploading a resulting STEP, STL, DXF, or other file to a fabricator is a separate action you take outside this converter. The receiving platform then handles the information under its own practices. TinyJig’s local conversion does not control what a third-party CAD service, cloud drive, slicer, or fabrication website does with a file you deliberately give it. Review the destination before sharing confidential designs.
How usage measurements are grouped
Page views help the owner understand which public tools people visit. Conversion outcomes and format pairs help distinguish, for example, an SVG-to-STL workflow from an Illustrator-to-STEP workflow. Browser User Agent information helps identify compatibility patterns. These records are intended for product reporting and troubleshooting; they do not contain the vector contours, generated mesh, original filename, or a stored copy of the artwork.
The browser-tab session identifier is a random value used to group related events. It is not an account login and is not used as an advertising identity. Browser session-storage behavior determines its lifetime in the tab. The analytics database does not store your IP address, although the hosting provider still receives network requests needed to serve the site. Local processing of geometry does not mean that visiting a website produces no hosting requests.
Ratings and optional written feedback
After an export, the tool may ask for a simple satisfaction rating. You can answer or dismiss that prompt. A negative rating can include optional written feedback describing what did not work. That text is provided by you, so avoid entering names, contact details, customer information, confidential part specifications, or other sensitive material. A short description of the problem is usually more useful than private project details.
Ratings are linked to the conversion being reviewed so the owner can understand outcomes by workflow. The owner’s reporting interface is authenticated. Daily Slack reporting summarizes activity and the spread of ratings for the designated owner destination. The feedback prompt does not upload the source artwork as an attachment. If a model needs separate inspection, sharing that file would be a distinct decision rather than an automatic consequence of leaving a review.
Understand links and future changes
Help pages and supplier references may link to external websites. Following a link creates requests to the destination website, whose policies and services are separate from TinyJig. Supplier names in a preset do not give those suppliers automatic access to the design open in your browser. A linked manufacturing guide and an actual file upload to that supplier are different actions.
The current tool does not require a customer subscription to perform conversions. If account, payment, or advertising features are introduced, their data handling will need to be described alongside those features. This page describes the current local artwork processing and product analytics. You can consult the usage terms for the practical limits of the converter and the help guide for instructions on retaining or deleting your own local downloads.
