This looks amazing. Just one question: what are the privacy guarantees? Will images, metadata, etc. always stay local and never be sent to another machine?



No. For example if you open an image from a URL, the photopea server will download it and serve it to the client. Unfortunately, I think this is technically necessary for many URLs because of cross origin policy.


Okay, how about once the images are on the local machine? Will they ever be sent elsewhere?


The author says "Photopea runs completely at client-side, there is no server-side computation."
