Frequently Asked Questions

Here are the most common questions teachers ask about Classroom Photo Wheel, along with clear answers to help you get started quickly and safely.

1. Is my data safe?

Yes. Nothing you load into the wheel — names, photos, or lists — is ever uploaded. All processing happens inside your browser only. No external servers are involved.

2. Do you store student photos?

No. Classroom Photo Wheel does not store or transfer any images. The files you upload are held only in your device’s memory until you close or refresh the page.

3. Why does my school block the site?

Some NSW public schools automatically block new websites until they are reviewed. This is normal and does not mean your site is unsafe. Your IT team can request a category review through their filtering system.

4. Can I use this with a class list?

Yes. You can paste in a list of names, drag and drop student items, or manually add names and photos. The tool supports individual student photos and creates a visual wheel automatically.

5. Can I save my wheel?

You can rebuild the wheel quickly by keeping a copy of your class list and re-importing it when needed. No data is stored on any server, so saving works locally only.

6. Does this work on school devices?

Yes. It works on laptops, Chromebooks, desktops, and tablets. The tool uses standard browser features and should function even in restricted school environments (except where newly created domains are blocked).

7. Does this tool work offline?

Partially. If the page is already loaded, you can continue using the wheel offline as long as images are already in memory. Loading a new image requires an internet-free path to your local files.

8. Can I use photos of my students?

Yes — safely. Because the tool never uploads or stores anything, the photos remain solely on your device. This aligns well with Australian school privacy expectations.

9. Is this really free?

Yes. Classroom Photo Wheel is free to use. We may display optional ads in the future to support hosting costs, but the tool will remain free.
