Why it exists
Darkroom was born from the annoyance of uploading a private photo just to resize it. It insists the whole darkroom fits inside your browser — your files never leave the table they arrived on.

Behind the piece
Darkroom, in three sittings.
What it listens to
It takes its name seriously: trays of developer, tongs, the slow reveal of a print. Edits here behave like chemistry — layered, patient, reversible — rather than filters slapped on top.
How it is composed
The signature is the stack: every edit a translucent layer you can revisit, reorder, or lift away. The interface stays out of the way — one image, its stack, and an export button that feels like hanging a print to dry.
