Private & Client-Side Image Processing
Your images stay safely in your browser. Here is how our architecture protects you:
Image processing is performed locally in your browser memory for all supported tools, so your selected files never need to be uploaded to an external processing server.
No storage or file harvesting. Because operations occur client-side, we never copy, view, or retain your personal photographs or documents.
Instant speed and zero bandwidth costs. With local Canvas and WebAssembly execution, files are processed at full device speed without cloud upload lag.
