ZeroCloud — Privacy-First Image Suite
Project Overview: ZeroCloud is a high-performance, browser-based image utility designed for users who prioritize privacy. It allows for bulk image compression and optimization without ever sending a single byte of data to a server, keeping sensitive visual assets strictly local.
The Challenge (Problem): Most online image compressors require users to upload their files to a remote server. This poses a significant security risk for sensitive documents or private photos. Additionally, server-side processing often introduces latency and dependency on internet stability.
The Solution (Engineering & Privacy):
Web Workers Integration: Offloaded heavy image processing tasks to Web Workers. This ensures the main UI thread remains responsive (no freezing) even when compressing multiple high-resolution images simultaneously.
Client-Side Processing: Leveraged browser APIs to handle all computations locally. The “Zero” in ZeroCloud stands for Zero Server Interaction.
Reactive Flow: Built with Nuxt 3, utilizing its reactive state management to provide real-time feedback on compression ratios and file size savings.
