AEBack processes data needed to provide and maintain the service. We do not sell data or use project file content to train models. Website interaction analytics are provided by Microsoft Clarity, as described below.
What we process
The two product lines handle files in different places. After Effects conversions run entirely in your browser, so the project file is not uploaded to a server. Premiere Pro conversions are performed server-side by this site calling the downgrade engine, so the uploaded .prproj file must be received temporarily. Beyond what is required for that conversion, we do not intentionally collect project content.
- Project file content — used for this conversion only, not retained afterwards.
- File size and conversion time — used for troubleshooting and aggregate success rates, never linked to a person.
- Target version and outcome — used to track success rates per target, without looking at project content.
Retention and deletion
After Effects files remain on your device. Premiere Pro files are handled temporarily during conversion and deleted after the conversion completes, fails, or the download link expires. We do not place project files into a long-term media library, training set, or manual review queue.
What we do not do
- We do not sell, rent or trade any of your data.
- We do not analyse the creative content of your projects or train models on it.
- We do not require an account to use the beta.
- No ads are currently displayed. The site uses Microsoft Clarity to analyse page usage, as described below.
Browser and log data
To operate the site, servers may create ordinary access logs such as request time, path, browser type, error status and IP address for security, abuse prevention and troubleshooting. This site also uses Microsoft Clarity to understand page usage. Clarity may collect page views, clicks, scrolling, pointer interactions, device and browser details, page errors, and page-structure data used for session playback so we can find issues and improve the experience. Clarity data handling and retention are subject to Microsoft’s documentation and settings. Please do not submit passwords, payment details or unnecessary sensitive personal information through site forms.
Self-hosting
The engine can run fully offline. In that setup your project never leaves your network, and we have no technical means of reaching it.
Third parties and Adobe
This site is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Adobe Inc. The site loads Microsoft Clarity for page-usage analytics; this is separate from project conversion. After Effects conversion runs in your browser and does not send project files to external services.
Your choices
You can choose not to upload a file, use the local browser-based After Effects conversion, or self-host the Premiere downgrade engine on your own machine or network. In every case, keep a backup of the original project before converting.
