About the author
Aniket Nigam is the solo developer behind FileCurve. He designs, writes, tests, and ships every tool on the site, from the browser-side image compressor to the PDF merge flow powered by pdf-lib. He has spent the past decade building web products, and started FileCurve after hitting one too many file tools that wanted an email address before returning a 200 KB JPG.
Privacy is the product
FileCurve is privacy-first by design. Image resizing, image compression, format conversion, passport-photo cropping, meme generation, EXIF removal, and most PDF operations all run inside your browser using Canvas, WebAssembly, and pdf-lib. Nothing is uploaded. When a task genuinely needs server compute, such as large video transcoding or OCR, the file is processed in a short-lived Vercel function and deleted within one hour.
What he knows about
Aniket writes about file format conversion, image processing pipelines, PDF standards, and the browser APIs that make privacy-first tools possible. His technical work on FileCurve touches canvas-based encoding, ImageBitmap resampling, WebP and AVIF quality tuning, pdf-lib page manipulation, FFmpeg.wasm transcoding for short clips, and Web Audio trimming. He writes plain-language guides that explain why a 4 MB photo becomes a 180 KB photo without visible quality loss.
Editorial standards
Every tool ships with a written how-to guide, a short FAQ, and a list of limits so you know what to expect before you drop a file on the page. When a guide references a file format spec, the relevant RFC or W3C recommendation is linked. When a tool uses a particular library, such as pdf-lib or browser-image-compression, the library is named on the tool page.
