What it does

Most RAW converters upload your file to a server. Rawnd doesn't — the decoder is WebAssembly inside the page, so photos never leave your machine. Works offline as a PWA — nothing to install to try it, open a sample RAW from the landing page. Built with a Rust decoder compiled to wasm32, one WebGL2 shader for tone and color, and a GPU pass that measures chromatic aberration before any color processing touches the sensor data. Sort and develop a shoot, then export XMP sidecars into Lightroom.

Open, rate and develop CR3, NEF, ARW and twelve other RAW formats on a Chromebook, Linux or any computer with a browser. Nothing to install, and your photos never go anywhere.

A Chromebook, Linux, a work laptop, a borrowed machine: if it has a browser, it opens your CR3, NEF and ARW files. Keep the frames that work, develop them, and leave with JPEGs or files ready for Lightroom. Free to cull, no account, nothing to install — and your photographs never leave the computer. Rawnd runs on a desktop browser — it needs access to the folder your RAW files are in. Open this page on your computer. Or view and convert them on this phone → Your browser will ask permission to open the folder. Nothing leaves it — Rawnd has no server to send it to. Sent. Open it on your computer and you are two clicks from culling. We only send this once per address — check your spam folder…from rawnd.app

  • Clipto MCP▲655

    Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  • Simple algorithm and color space to generate diverse skin tones▲627

    Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
