- People uploading images to portals with strict file limits
- Worth noticing
- The page says image processing uses WebAssembly in the browser and can work offline after installation.
Field notes
The page walks through a three-step workflow: read upload limits, adjust the image, then replace the selected file for submission. Its sample contrasts a 4.2 MB, 3840 × 2160 photo with a 1.4 MB, 1920 × 1080 result. The site says processing uses WebAssembly and removes GPS, camera, and timestamp metadata locally, but the extracted homepage does not independently verify those claims or document its reported testing across thousands of forms.
