HEIC decode fallbacks
01 / The problem
Most "free" online image and PDF tools upload every file to a server, even for a plain crop or compress — unnecessary exposure for anything even slightly private.
02 / The approach
Built a dual-mode engine: WASM-powered processing (mupdf, jSquash, libheif) runs entirely in the browser by default, escalating to the FastAPI backend only for the handful of operations — LibreOffice conversions, GPU-based AI models — that have no viable browser equivalent.
03 / The catch
Some formats need real fallback chains, not just a toggle: HEIC decoding alone runs three stages — native createImageBitmap, then libheif-js WASM for 10-bit/HDR, then heic2any — before giving up.
Professional-grade media processing suite with a React frontend and FastAPI backend. Handles image manipulation, PDF tools, AI-powered upscaling via Real-ESRGAN, and background removal via Rembg — all processed with cloud GPU via the Replicate API. Includes a companion React Native mobile app. Features an AMOLED dark theme with custom Tailwind tokens.
