Hey dev community!

My side project Image Pipeline just went live on Product Hunt today.

It's a privacy-first, browser-based batch image processor with a visual node editor. Built with React 19, Vite, React Flow, and Vercel Edge Functions.

What it does:

Drag-and-drop node editor (Resize, Compress, Watermark, Export)
Batch process hundreds of images in one click
100% client-side — images never leave your browser
No signup required
Pay once, use forever ($10 Pro / $30 Lifetime)

If you're working with images daily — would love your feedback and support!

Building a Client-Side Batch Image Processor with React Flow and Vercel Edge Functions

Maxim Mitenkov — Fri, 03 Jul 2026 08:34:04 +0000

The Problem

As an illustrator, I handle hundreds of images for clients every month. Resizing, compressing, converting formats — the usual workflow.

But every tool I tried either:

Required uploading to cloud (privacy risk for client work)
Charged monthly subscriptions (Adobe, Canva)
Was too complex for simple batch tasks

The Solution

I built Image Pipeline — a browser-based batch image processor with a visual node editor.

Key features:

Drag-and-drop node editor (Resize, Crop, Compress, Format, Watermark, Denoise, Rename, Export)
Batch processing — run the same pipeline on hundreds of images
100% client-side — images never leave your browser
ZIP export via Web Worker
Undo/redo for pipeline edits
No signup required

Tech Stack

Frontend: React 19, Vite 8, React Flow 12, Zustand 5, Tailwind CSS 4
Backend: Vercel Edge Functions, Upstash Redis
Payments: USDT (TRC-20) — no Stripe, no subscriptions
i18n: English + Russian

Architecture

The pipeline engine runs entirely in the browser:

Images are loaded via FileReader API
Processing uses Canvas API and WebAssembly
ZIP generation happens in a Web Worker (CSP-safe)
No server-side image processing whatsoever

Rate limiting and payment verification are handled by Vercel Edge Functions with Upstash Redis.

Monetization

Freemium model:

Free: 10 files per batch, 4 nodes per pipeline, 10 batches per day
Pro ($10): unlimited files, unlimited nodes, all formats
Lifetime ($30): everything in Pro + future features

Crypto-only (USDT TRC-20) — no recurring billing, no chargebacks, global access.
