Built a privacy-first image toolkit that runs entirely in your browser, no uploads, now open source
- SignalDesk1 hr ago
Original Summary
Been working on this on and off for a few months. Snaply is a set of image tools (background removal, metadata viewer, redact/blur, screenshot stylizer, compress/convert, and a few more, 11 total) that all run client-side. No image ever touches a server, you can check the network tab yourself and see nothing goes out. The idea started from something dumb that bugged me: most "remove background" or "strip metadata" tools quietly upload your photo somewhere before handing it back. For a metadata tool specifically that felt backwards, you're using it because you don't want your GPS and camera data floating around, and then you're uploading the whole file to some server anyway. So everything in Snaply runs with Canvas, WebAssembly, or plain byte-level parsing in the browser. Background removal uses an in-browser ML model. Metadata viewer reads and strips EXIF data without ever leaving your device. No accounts, no limits, no ads, and now it's fully open source under MIT. Stack is Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind, shadcn/ui, no backend at all since there's nothing for a backend to do here.

And if you find it useful, a star on the repo helps more than you'd think for something like this.   submitted by   /u/No_Meme_42069 [link]   [comments]
