Show HN: Edit images in the browser using GPT-3 and WebAssembly

Hi HN! A little while ago I had to do an image edit that was fairly simple but too complex for Preview. As someone who isn't great at Photoshop, I turned to ImageMagick. But then I had to figure out the correct ImageMagick command and get ImageMagick installed on my laptop. In total, a simple image edit took about 30 minutes.

I made ImageCalc to make that easier. It uses GPT-3 to turn a plain text description into an ImageMagick command, and then WASM[1] to run ImageMagick in the browser (so your image never leaves your device). Here's a quick demo of what it can do: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0u3sXqgh3A8

It doesn't work 100% of the time, but it's so quick to try that I've already found myself reaching for ImageCalc before anything else. It's especially helpful if you want to figure out the right command for a web service or batch command.

Hope you find it useful! https://imagecalc.com
