LocalFlow: your image workflow studio in the browser

Automate batch processing: one visual production chain, no heavy software.

LocalFlow links your imaging actions into one sequence. Files never leave your machine.

Open LocalFlowSee linked building blocks

LocalFlow is not another editor: it is the interface that links compress, convert, crop and upscale into one local sequence. Batches and folders stay on your machine; output can hand off to a FileVert transfer.

The journey in 5 bubbles

From batch import to output: a visual local chain, with no re-drop between steps.

01Local import

Drop your batch

Drag a folder or a series of photos. Folder structure is preserved as soon as you enter the studio.

  • Batches and subfolders accepted
  • No upload to a server
  • Ready for the sequence
A
B
C
02Visual chain

Stack the bubbles

Build your horizontal chain: compress, convert, crop, upscale, rename, watermark… for the real need.

  • Interconnected blocks
  • Rename: prefix, counter, date
  • Watermark: position and opacity
03Execution

Run the sequence

One global run processes the whole batch locally. Progress stays readable, including on mobile.

  • Browser-side processing
  • Device budget under control
  • No cloud queue
04Automation

Save the sequence

Freeze the chain to replay in one click, e.g. resize → watermark → rename with numbering (FileVert plan).

  • Example: resize → watermark → numbered names
  • Settings remembered
  • Custom studio
FileVert
05Outputs

Exit your way

Local folder, structured ZIP, or handoff to a FileVert transfer. You keep control of the output.

  • Folders kept (only files can be renamed)
  • Optional ZIP archive
  • FileVert transfer handoff

What isolated tools force today

For every action you switch tabs, drop the batch again, overload mental load in vertical forms, then wait on an opaque server. Chaining several operations on the same batch means repeating that cycle, or handing data to a captive cloud.

Without LocalFlow

  • •One tool, one action, one re-download
  • •Batches and folders rebuilt at every step
  • •Opaque processing on third-party servers
  • •Mental load: options scattered across tabs

With LocalFlow

  • One sequence: step 1 → step 2 → step 3
  • Batches, folders and settings follow the flow
  • Local execution in your browser’s memory
  • Clean workspace designed for chaining

A modular visual production chain

LocalFlow turns your process workflow into horizontal action bubbles: an agile alternative to heavy workflow software, assembled for the real need.

Cognitive clarity

See the full processing path for your files at a glance.

Technical agility

Add, reorder or configure each block before running the whole sequence.

Preserved focus

Dark, calm UI with no ads: built to chain without distraction.

Intent persistence and folder structure respect

When you switch to sequence mode from a tool, your batches, complex folders and settings follow. Moving from one block to the next is continuous, with no tedious re-drop. Renaming applies to files only; folder structure stays intact.

Ultra-fast ephemeral storage

LocalFlow uses a private, secure workspace built into your browser’s memory (via OPFS technology). Files are processed in sequence at high speed, with no exchange to the outside.

Local execution

No network upload or server queue: compute runs on your machine.

Data stays put

Confidential visuals and business data remain on your workstation during active production.

Sobriety by design

No remote infrastructure for transient processing: sobriety comes from the architecture.

Inclusive performance, including in the field

Bounded decoding respects the device budget. UI and progress stay smooth, even on phones with large files.

One chain, adapted exits

Once the sequence is done, you keep full control of the output.

  • Immediate local save: folders kept, files optionally renamed
  • Structured ZIP archive
  • Handoff to FileVert transfer to share the result responsibly

Frequently asked questions

Automate a local image workflow, without heavy software

How is LocalFlow different from classic online editors?

Traditional platforms work in silos: edit, download, then send to another app. LocalFlow is a workflow studio. It links your existing tools in one flow UI. Files move through the full chain once, in the browser, with no intermediate network hops.

Why is LocalFlow a more agile alternative to traditional workflow software or a workflow engine?

Classic workflow software or engines often mean heavy installs, servers and a steep learning curve. LocalFlow is a lightweight process infrastructure: the chain runs in the browser, on your machine, without deploying a software plant. You compose the flow, run the batch, and keep local control.

Can LocalFlow be used as an alternative to Photoshop scripts and Droplets?

Yes. In heavy software, automating a recurring job on a series of images often means a script or Droplet: batch rename, apply a watermark, then export. LocalFlow brings that power into the browser. You stack rename, watermark and the other blocks graphically, and “Save sequence” freezes your automation studio locally, ready without a software licence. Saving sequences requires a FileVert plan; running the local chain needs no install.

How does this process workflow show up graphically?

LocalFlow shows your chain as horizontal, interconnected action bubbles (step 1 → step 2 → step 3). You see the batch path at a glance, then add or reorder blocks before running. It is the opposite of isolated-tab chaos.

How can I automate batch image processing without installing heavy software?

That is what “Save sequence” is for. It stores your bubbles and settings so recurring jobs run in one click. Saving and sharing flows require a FileVert plan; running the local chain needs no install.

What is the advantage of an online image workflow versus classic tools?

Classic tools handle one action at a time. LocalFlow builds a continuous production chain. Your folders and processing intent travel from step to step without interruption, directly in the browser.

Why does 100% local (client-side) image processing protect against data leaks?

IBM’s Cost of a Data Breach report cites an average global breach cost of USD 4.99 million. By processing corporate visuals in a secure sandbox inside the browser’s memory (OPFS), no file crosses a public network during processing. Your images stay clear of third-party server exposure and transit leak risks.

How is batch persistence kept without cloud storage?

That is the strength of our local architecture. Modern browsers can create a secure, temporary sandbox in your device’s memory (technically called OPFS). LocalFlow uses that ultra-fast space to move folders from bubble to bubble without ever needing an external server.

Does LocalFlow require installing software?

No. The whole chain runs with no install and no mandatory signup. The engine adapts compute load to the device (desktop or phone) with fragmented, bounded processing.

How does external sharing work after the flow?

LocalFlow includes a gateway to FileVert transfer. Finished files move to a sovereign stack designed for temporary, responsible storage. Transfer limits follow your FileVert plan.
