Problem

Most “free” image‑resizing tools require users to upload sensitive documents (e.g., Aadhaar cards, marksheets) to a remote server just to crop them. This raises privacy concerns and risks data leakage.

Solution

I created PAHADIFY, a 100 % client‑side image toolkit that runs entirely in the browser. It:

  • Performs all processing locally—no server uploads.
  • Works offline.
  • Keeps user data private.
