Show HN: Facefork – A tree interface to AI edit photos for fun

Developer aravindhsampath released Facefork, a free static web app that lets users AI-edit photos through a tree interface where each prompt creates a leaf node that can be shared individually or as a whole tree. Facefork routes image-model calls through OpenRouter using the user's own API key, requires no accounts or sign-ups, and states that photos and keys never reach the web host or any third party other than OpenRouter. The source code is available on GitHub at github.com/aravindhsampath/facefork, and the project was posted to Hacker News as a Show HN with 1 point and 0 comments.

Hello HN.

I made this as a fun project with AI. No accounts, sign-ups, or any strings attached.

The idea: Prompt your way into having AI modifying your photos in a tree-like interface. Every edit/prompt creates a leaf node. Share the whole tree or any single picture.

Uses Openrouter as a singular way to access AI image models. Bring your own key.

The whole project is served as a privacy-respecting static web app. No tracking. Your photos or API key never reach the web host or any third party other than Openrouter (obviously for the AI call).

Code is here: https://github.com/aravindhsampath/facefork Ask your LLM to clone, review and run it locally if you’d rather not trust/use the hosted version.

Fun PRs welcome.
