Free Online Image Conversion & Manipulation Tool

Q: What is iaza?

A: iaza is an image conversion web service for digital cameras. To this end, iaza provides a number of image conversion tools for transforming and manipulating images of various kinds.

Q: Why was iaza created?

A: To make the conversion and manipulation of digital images as easy as possible. Image conversion usually requires that these images first be downloaded and then manipulated by a PC application. However, image conversion and manipulation should be like searching - always available online, simple, direct and free. Hence iaza.

Q: How much does it cost to use iaza?

A: iaza is free.

Q: Are there limitations to iaza?

A: Yes. Given that iaza is free, size constraints are imposed on files. These constraints are generous and should pose no problem for the vast majority of conversions.

Q: How does iaza handle file privacy and security?

A: iaza is an absolutely anonymous and confidential service. Uploaded files are given codes unique to your session and thus are not visible to anyone else on the internet. All temporary files are purged and iaza never retains any information related to your use of the site. iaza does not require your email address or any personal information. Thus, there is no possibility of ever being spammed or having iaza itself annoy you in any way.

Convert Text into an Image

Hidetext.net lets you convert text to an image. This means you can hide passwords, personal messages, pieces of code, or any kind of private information on forums, blogposts, emails, irc, msn-aim chats,....
The created image can be linked to, or you can download the image and delete it directly from the server.


Search Engines

Google, Yahoo are great at indexing sites (actually we're Google fans ourselves). Forum owners, as any other site owner do everything possible to get their site spidered and indexed as good as possible. And that's great, but sometimes you want a little privacy too.

A simple scenario: you're the network administrator or run your own company and need to ask some questions on a forum, but on the other hand, you don't want the whole world to know what your problems are. They may sound stupid, they might contain some sensitive information: actually, you just don't want to look like an ass if someone googles you. Well, throw in your question with all necessary details in HideText and post it.
And only the people really that need to read it - the forum readers that might help you out - will read it.

MSN/AIM

Unlike skype, every letter with msn/aim is sent s done as plain text. Someone sniffing and logging the right ports can easily pickup the whole conversation. Well sometimes you need to send a password, or login information to someone - the phrase "don't send passwords via MSN!" may sound familiar (as it's often said even by Microsoft themselves). Just throw it in HideText and send the recipient the image.

There are more solid and better ways, to secure your data-traffic (but those mostly involve keys, programs to be installed, plugins etc).

HideText doesn't pretend to be much more then a little tool to obfuscate your text and that may just help you out from time to time to hide things. Improve your privacy a little bit. Nothing more nothing less.

Quick FAQ:

• How long will my files be stores?
  Forever, at least if they're accessed once per year.
• Are there any limits of how much text can I throw in?
  We threw in some some complete books from the gutenberg project, and they work out just fine.
  
• This is all swell, but how do I know if you guys are not peeping into my stuff?!
  We've got better things to do, really. We're just not interested.
• Why did you make this site?
  We made it for ourselves and figured it could be useful for everyone.
• Is anything logged here? Are the files really deleted?
  Yes, they're just deleted and nothing is logged here.
• Why am I reading this?
  Well if you don't even know, how could we?
