Challenge

Developing Instasize required creating a modern Image/Video Editing SDK capable of handling complex tasks such as cropping, resizing, and applying filters and adjustments. This involved writing efficient vertex and fragment shaders for detailed image and video editing, and ensuring seamless integration with existing systems to enhance functionality and user experience.

Results

By leveraging OpenGL/ES for image and video processing, the development team successfully built a robust editing SDK that improved the app’s performance and user engagement. The integration of this new SDK provided users with a powerful set of editing tools, making Instasize a go-to choice for enhancing photos and videos.
