Comment on photopea.com now locks out users blocking ads
percent@infosec.pub 9 hours agoThe image processing happens locally in the web browser.
Not to imply that hosting the static assets to power that (JS and WebAssembly binaries) is free, but it’s definitely much cheaper than the compute resources that would be required to do the heavy lifting server-side.
(Still worth paying for or allowing ads though. Photopea clearly took a lot of work to build)

The completely insane claim was “The only infrastructure I’m using is the bit of Javascript and HTML”, meaning one could just save the page and run it fully locally.
This is of course BS.
