🛠️ Features That Make It Awesome

⚡ Zero Login, Zero Signup

No account creation. No email verification. No password to remember. Open the app, upload, and go.

🔒 100% Private – Client-Side Processing

All image processing happens directly in your browser using HTML Canvas technology. Your photos never upload to any server, so your privacy is completely protected.

🖼️ Professional Branded Designs

Every graphic is carefully crafted to match the Hacker House Goa 2026 aesthetic. You get high-quality, pixel-perfect frames that look great on any device.

🚀 Blazing Fast Performance

Built with Next.js 15 and TypeScript, this app loads instantly and processes images in real-time. No waiting, no loading spinners – just instant results.

📱 Mobile-First Design

Use it on your phone, tablet, or desktop. The interface adapts perfectly to any screen size, so you can create your profile picture on the go.

🎨 HEIC Support

Apple users rejoice – HEIC photo format is fully supported. Your iPhone photos work directly without any conversion steps.

🌐 Open Graph Ready

Perfectly optimized for social sharing. When you post your new profile picture, it looks fantastic across all platforms.

🧩 Tailwind CSS Styling

Clean, modern, and responsive – the interface is as beautiful as the frames it creates.


💡 Tips for the Perfect Profile Picture

  • Use a well-lit photo with your face centered and visible.
  • Avoid busy backgrounds – solid colors work best inside the frame.
  • Upload a square photo (1:1 ratio) for optimal results.
  • The frame adds around 20% more space, so keep your head within the central 80% of the original image.
  • For the Builder ID card, prepare your name and role (e.g., "Alice – Frontend Developer") beforehand so you can type it quickly.

🧪 Troubleshooting Common Issues

My photo won't upload. Make sure the file is under 10MB. Supported formats: JPG, PNG, WEBP, and HEIC. If you are on Safari, try using Chrome or Firefox.

The frame looks blurry. Use a photo that is at least 800×800 pixels for best quality. Low-resolution images will appear pixelated inside the frame.

The app appears frozen after uploading. Large files (5MB+) can take a few seconds to process. Wait 5–10 seconds and the preview will appear.

The download button does nothing. Allow pop-ups for this site in your browser settings. Some browsers block automatic downloads.

I want a different color frame. The current version ships with the official Hacker House Goa 2026 design. Custom colors are planned for a future update.

💖 Why We Built This

Hacker House Goa is all about building together, shipping fast, and having fun. We wanted every attendee to have a professional, recognizable profile picture that shows they are part of this movement. The old way – manually adding frames in Photoshop – was slow, annoying, and excluded people without design tools. This app removes every barrier. Now anyone can create a stunning branded identity in seconds.
