So what is it?

Earthpages Image is a lightweight, browser based image editor built for everyday users such as hobbyists and bloggers who want a simple way to edit photos without installing any software. The entire application lives inside a single HTML and JavaScript file that you open directly in your web browser: no download manager, no installer, no account required. The key design principle is privacy. When you load an image into the editor, all processing happens inside your computer's temporary memory (RAM). Nothing is uploaded to a server, and the images and filenames you work with never leave your machine. The code contains no network calls, meaning there is no fetch, XMLHttpRequest, or analytics tracking built into the app, so it works entirely offline once the file is open. You would reach for Earthpages Image when you want to make quick edits to photos for a blog post or personal project and do not want a heavyweight tool or a cloud service that might store your images. Because it runs entirely in the browser from a local file, it also works in situations where you have no internet connection. One note from the README: some browsers, including Chrome and Edge, may report the local file path of any HTML file you open to the browser's manufacturer if usage statistics are enabled. This is browser behavior, not something the app does. Users who are concerned about this can run the app from a generically named folder to avoid revealing anything meaningful in that path. The tech stack is HTML and JavaScript.
