PAIN POINTS
Creative professionals and everyday users needed access to powerful AI-driven image and video tools, but existing solutions were either too complex, scattered across multiple platforms, or too expensive to justify. There was no single, well-designed destination where users could enhance portraits, upscale images, and generate video content without a steep learning curve or a bloated workflow.
SOLUTIONS
We designed and developed FixMyFoto as a unified AI-powered creative platform, bringing portrait enhancement, video generation, and image upscaling together under one clean, intuitive interface. The platform was built to feel approachable for casual users while being powerful enough for professionals, with a smooth onboarding experience, fast processing, and a visually immersive design that reflects the quality of the output it produces.

SERVICES
We delivered a complete end-to-end digital solution for Loopers, covering product strategy, design, and development to support scalable ride-hailing operations.
Our Decision
FixMyFoto could have been three separate tools — one each for portrait retouching, video generation and image upscaling. We decided against that early on. Not because it would be technically simpler, but because the platform's value lies in the interplay: a user who comes for portrait retouching should intuitively discover image upscaling too. That requires a shared design system, shared components and an architecture that unifies three different AI backends under a single interface. The shared component library is not a technical detail — it is the decision that makes FixMyFoto scalable.

UX/UI Design
We mapped user flows for each tool, built a consistent component library, and designed a dark-themed interface in Figma that puts the user's creative output front and center. Every screen was intentional before a single line of code was written.
UI Components
Landing Page
A bold, immersive hero section draws users in immediately, followed by clear tool showcases and strong calls to action. The dark aesthetic with vibrant accents builds confidence and communicates quality before a user even signs up.
Web View
The dashboard brings all tools together in a clean, friction-free interface. Consistent design patterns across every module keep the experience cohesive, with the dark UI keeping focus on the media being created.

Video Generation
Users can transform images or prompts into short AI-generated video clips. The UX manages processing wait times with clear progress indicators and a results screen that makes previewing, downloading, or regenerating content effortless.
Image Upscale
A minimal, fast upload-process-download flow that requires no technical knowledge. The output screen is designed to make the resolution improvement immediately visible and satisfying for the user.
Screens Overview
DEVELOPMENT
Built on React JS, TypeScript, Node JS, and Express, with each AI tool module running independently to protect overall platform performance. Media is handled through AWS S3 and the application is hosted on EC2, structured for stability and future growth
Performance Metrics (KPIs)
Built to handle media-heavy operations without compromising speed or user experience across any part of the platform.
Page Load Performance
Reduced LCP from 4.2s to 1.3s, achieving a 69% faster load time.
Responsives Design
Fixed 16 image-scaling issues to reach 100% usability on all devices.
SEO Optimization
Boosted SEO score from 61 to 95 and increased keyword rankings by 134%.
System Reliability
Optimized AWS delivery to maintain 99.97% uptime during peak edit requests.
Lead Growth
Realized a 28.1% MoM growth in qualified leads and tripled CTA clicks.
Key Development Challenges & Solutions
Problem:AI operations on large images/videos can slow down the interface.
Solution:Asynchronous processing with real-time status updates keeps the interface responsive.
Problem:Portrait Studio, Video Generation, and Image Upscale have different inputs/outputs.
Solution:Shared component library and standardized page structure ensure visual and interaction consistency.
Problem:Personal portraits and media require privacy, access control, and data integrity.
Solution:Use AWS S3 signed URLs with server validation and access control.

React JS & TypeScript
Delivering a type-safe, maintainable frontend with a fast and structured user interface.
Node JS & Express
Powering a lightweight backend API that handles requests and communicates with AI services reliably
AWS EC2
Hosting the application with the stability needed for a media-intensive platform in production
AWS S3
Managing all file storage with secure access controls and reliable delivery built in from day one
Conclusion
There are many AI tools for creative tasks. Most require technical knowledge, a steep learning curve or a subscription model that makes no sense for occasional users. FixMyFoto was built from the beginning with a different premise: professional results must be reachable in two clicks — regardless of the user's technical background.
The technical complexity — asynchronous AI pipelines, AWS infrastructure, three separate backends under one design system — is invisible. That is intentional. Someone using FixMyFoto does not think about Node.js or S3 buckets. They think about the fact that their image looks better in 30 seconds.
FixMyFoto is proof that AI products don't need to feel complex to be complex. For companies looking to integrate AI features into their own products: this is the benchmark for a good user experience in an AI platform.
