Is Chisel safe?

What runs on your phone

These tools process your photo on the phone. Chisel doesn't upload, store or see these photos:

• Body detection (pose and body outline), which runs on-device with Google ML Kit.
• The Shoulders, Waist, Abs, Muscle and Height sliders.
• The background remover, object eraser, Relight presets, Smooth filter, presets and collage.

Saved photos go to your phone's gallery, or to the app you share them to.

What leaves your phone

What	When	Sent to
The photo you picked, plus a random install ID that counts your free uses	Only when you tap AI Transform, after a one-time notice you have to accept	Chisel's server, which passes it to a third-party cloud AI provider and returns the result. The server handles the photo in memory and doesn't save it.
Usage and crash reports (which screens and tools are used, errors). These contain no photos.	While you use the app	Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics (Google)
Ad requests, including the advertising ID. Where the law requires consent, this happens only after you agree.	In the free version	Google AdMob
Purchases and subscriptions	When you buy or restore Pro	Google Play billing
Install and purchase measurement (which link led to the install; trials and purchases). These contain no photos.	While you use the app	Chisel's own measurement service

The privacy policy says AI Transform photos are used only to make your result, are deleted after processing and are not used to train AI models. See the Privacy Policy for the details.

Permissions

On Android, the only permission Chisel asks you to grant is access to your photos, so it can show your gallery. On Android 12 and lower this is the storage permission. If you take a new photo, Chisel opens your phone's camera app; it doesn't ask for camera permission itself. It doesn't ask for your location or your contacts.

No account, no face edits

• No account. There is no sign-up or login, and the app doesn't ask for your email.
• No face edits. Chisel edits the body, not the face. AI Transform tells the AI model to keep your face, identity, hair and pose the same.

Honest labels and age

• AI-edited label. Chisel labels AI edits as “AI-edited” and writes that label into the saved file's metadata, so an edited photo isn't passed off as untouched.
• Adults only (18+). On first launch, the app asks you to confirm that you're 18 or older.
• Ads and consent. The free version shows Google AdMob ads. Where the law requires it, Chisel asks for your consent first, using Google's consent form. You can decline and still use the app.

Deleting your data

Your edits are stored on your phone, so deleting the app removes them along with the app's local data. To delete analytics or purchase data, email erevo.studio@gmail.com.

FAQ

Does Chisel upload my photos?

Not for the sliders and photo tools: they run on your phone. Only the optional AI Transform sends a photo off your phone. When you tap it, Chisel asks first, then sends that one photo over an encrypted connection to a third-party cloud AI provider to generate the result.

Do I need an account to use Chisel?

No. There is no sign-up or login. AI Transform counts its free uses with a random ID created on your phone the first time you use it. That ID is not an advertising ID.

Does Chisel show ads?

Yes, the free version shows Google AdMob ads. In regions that need it, Chisel shows Google's consent form before any ads load. Chisel Pro removes the ads.

Is Chisel for teenagers?

No. Chisel is for adults (18+). On first launch the app asks you to confirm that you are 18 or older.

Can Chisel change my face?

No. Chisel has no face edits. AI Transform tells the AI model to keep your face, head, hair and pose the same.
