Cover image for I built a privacy-first image toolkit — all processing happens in your browser, zero server uploads

Every image tool I’ve used online uploads files to their servers for processing. I wanted something that doesn’t.

NullUpload processes images entirely in your browser using the Canvas API and WebAssembly. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is tracked, and no accounts are needed.

Website:

Tools

  • Image compression
  • Format conversion (JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF)
  • Resizing
  • EXIF metadata stripping (shows GPS warnings)

Source code:

Looking for feedback on the tools and UX.
