OnlyBrowsers processes all file operations directly in your browser, without requiring any server uploads. This approach prioritizes user privacy while taking advantage of modern browser capabilities to deliver powerful file processing tools.
Client-Side Processing: A Privacy-First Architecture
The core principle behind OnlyBrowsers is straightforward: user files never leave their device. Whether it's cropping GIFs, trimming videos, processing images, or converting file formats, all computations occur directly in the user's browser. This architecture provides inherent privacy protection that server-based solutions simply cannot match.
Technical Implementation
OnlyBrowsers utilizes cutting-edge web technologies to enable sophisticated file processing:
- WebAssembly-powered FFmpeg for video and audio processing
- Canvas API for image manipulation
- File System Access API for seamless file handling
- Web Workers for performance optimization
These technologies enable desktop-class performance without the traditional server infrastructure.
