The Challenge

Converting a video or image online usually means navigating through a minefield of pop-up ads, fake "Download Here" buttons, and artificial file size limits. Most importantly, it requires uploading sensitive personal or client files to an unknown third-party server, which poses a massive privacy and security risk for professional creators.

The Solution

I built PixelBrake to bring desktop-level media processing directly into the browser. By leveraging FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly (WASM), the application uses the raw computing power of the user's own device to encode media.

▹ Zero Server Uploads: Files never leave the computer. The entire conversion process happens locally in the browser memory, ensuring 100% data privacy.
▹ Ad-Free & Uncapped: A clean, premium UI with no paywalls, annoying advertisements, or artificial constraints on file sizes.
▹ Multi-Format Power: Seamlessly transcodes complex video codecs (MP4, WebM, MOV), extracts audio, and compresses next-gen images (WebP) effortlessly.
