PixelFlare - AI Image Editor
Pixel Flare - AI-Powered Image Editor is a modern SaaS-based image editing platform that leverages artificial intelligence to deliver professional-grade tools for users of all levels, from casual editors to creative professionals.
Project Overview
Pixel Flare - AI-Powered Image Editor is a modern SaaS-based image editing platform that leverages artificial intelligence to deliver professional-grade tools for users of all levels, from casual editors to creative professionals. Built on the MERN stack with TypeScript, it integrates powerful services like Cloudinary for secure image storage and AI-driven processing, Clerk for seamless authentication, and Stripe for a robust subscription and payment system. Its core features include AI-powered image restoration to revive old or low-quality photos, generative fill to intelligently complete or modify parts of an image, and real-time editing for instant results, all while supporting multiple image formats. With a clean, user-friendly interface and reliable cloud-based infrastructure, Pixel Flare removes the complexity of traditional image editing by automating advanced processes, ensuring users can focus on creativity rather than technical hurdles. Whether enhancing memories, refining professional projects, or experimenting with AI-generated modifications, Pixel Flare provides a secure, accessible, and cutting-edge editing experience directly from the browser.
