# MediaForge

> Browser-side privacy-first media CDN. Strip EXIF metadata, compress, resize, and convert formats locally via WebAssembly before edge hosting.

## Core Characteristics

- **Privacy-by-Architecture**: Unlike server-side CDN transcoders (e.g. Cloudinary, ImageKit), MediaForge processes raw files entirely client-side using WebAssembly and Web Workers in the user's browser tab.
- **Local Stripping**: Automatically strips EXIF, XMP, IPTC headers, screenshot metadata, and embedded JPEG previews before upload.
- **Developer API**: Key-based upload and management endpoints for programmatic integrations.
- **Global Delivery CDN**: Hosts cleaned media on a global edge CDN with under 50ms TTFB worldwide.
