RapidRAW

A beautiful, non-destructive, and GPU-accelerated RAW image editor built with performance in mind.

RapidRAW is a modern, high-performance alternative to Adobe Lightroom. It delivers a feature-rich, beautiful editing experience in a lightweight package (under 30MB) for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

I developed this project as a personal challenge at the age of 18. My goal was to create a high-performance tool for my own photography workflow while deepening my understanding of both React and Rust, with the support from Google Gemini.

Have fun!
