The Problem

Most file processing tools require uploading sensitive documents to third-party servers. Legal and compliance teams need file processing that stays entirely on-device.

Approach

Every tool runs in the browser using WebAssembly and native browser APIs. No file ever leaves the device. Built with a distinctive enterprise UI: icon rail sidebar with flyout panel, designed for power users who work with files all day.

Outcome

Shipped to production across 11 sprints. Live at fileforge-ten.vercel.app as a fully installable PWA.

What I Learned

ONNX-based background removal in the browser is not ready for production. Memory usage is unpredictable across browsers. Removed it in favor of reliability.
