Client-side vs Server-side image processing: When to use what? (Based on 2 years of building Kreotar)

1. 1Determine the average file size of images your application will handle to decide between client-side and server-side processing
2. 2Evaluate the computational resources available on the client-side vs server-side to inform your decision
3. 3Consider the security and privacy implications of processing sensitive images on the client-side vs server-side
4. 4Test and compare the performance of client-side and server-side image processing for your specific use case
5. 5Choose the approach that balances performance, security, and resource utilization based on your application's requirements

Developers and engineers working on image-intensive applications can benefit from understanding the trade-offs between client-side and server-side image processing to make informed decisions

💡 Client-side image processing is not always better, especially when dealing with large files, and server-side processing can be more efficient and secure in certain scenarios
