Effects SDK helps developers add production-ready AI video and audio effects to web, desktop, and mobile apps. Add background blur, virtual backgrounds, smart framing, lighting correction, beautification, overlays, avatars, and real-time noise suppression — all running client-side, without sending video or audio to our servers.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I’m Max, founder of Effects SDK.
Most users now expect every video app to look and sound as polished as Zoom or Google Meet. But building real-time video and audio processing in-house is hard — segmentation, rendering, browser quirks, native platforms, audio processing, performance, and edge cases add up quickly.
That’s why we built Effects SDK.
It helps developers add AI video effects and real-time audio noise suppression directly into their own apps — background blur, virtual backgrounds, smart framing, lighting correction, beautification, overlays, avatars, and clean audio.
Everything runs client-side on the user’s device, and the SDK works with existing video stacks like WebRTC, LiveKit, Twilio, Agora, Zoom Web SDK, or your own pipeline.
We’re also offering 3 months of free access for Product Hunt makers building real-time video or audio products.
Would love your feedback, questions, and ideas 🙌
client-side effects with no video leaving the device is the right call 👏 congrats on #1
Congrats on the launch! Real-time AI experiences can be tricky to keep consistent across different scenarios. Curious if you have automated testing or evaluation workflows for AI-powered features?
Background blur and noise suppression running fully client-side is a nice setup, and the API looked straightforward when I dropped it into a quick test build.
how does the client-side performance hold up on lower-end mobile devices, especially when stacking multiple effects like background blur and beautification at the same time?
Ran a quick test in a browser and the background blur held up nicely even when I moved around, no server upload is a big plus for privacy. Curious how it handles older mobile devices though.
The background blur and noise suppression running entirely client-side is a huge win for privacy. It was surprisingly quick to drop into my web app without laggy performance.
The client-side approach is huge for privacy and latency, and the noise suppression actually held up well in a noisy room. Wish I had this a year ago for a browser-based video tool I was building.
How does the client-side processing hold up on lower-end mobile devices, especially for the more demanding effects like virtual backgrounds or smart framing — is there a recommended minimum spec or a way to gracefully fall back when performance dips?
How does the SDK handle performance on lower-end mobile devices, especially with real-time noise suppression and background blur running at the same time?
How does the client-side processing actually hold up on lower-end mobile devices, especially with multiple effects like background blur and noise suppression running together? Curious about performance tradeoffs there.
Does the client-side processing still hit performance hard on mid-range mobile devices, especially when stacking effects like background blur plus noise suppression at the same time?
The client-side approach is genuinely impressive, especially the real-time noise suppression running smoothly in the browser without any server round-trips. Curious how it holds up on lower-end mobile devices.
finally dropped in a smart framing call over lunch and it ran smooth as butter on my laptop without any server hits. super impressed it handles noise suppression client-side too, my mic has never sounded cleaner.
The client-side approach is a big plus, keeps user data private without sacrificing quality. Background blur and noise suppression worked smoothly on my laptop without noticeable lag.
How does the SDK handle different device hardware since everything runs client-side, and is there a fallback or quality adjustment when the device can't keep up?
running everything client-side without sacrificing that polish is impressive. the smart framing and lighting correction combo feels really thoughtfully tuned for video calls.
How does this hold up on lower-end mobile devices in terms of latency and battery drain when running multiple effects like background blur plus noise suppression at the same time?
How does it hold up on lower-end mobile devices when running multiple effects like background blur and noise suppression at the same time?
How does the client-side performance hold up on lower-end mobile devices when you have several of these effects like blur plus beautification plus noise suppression running simultaneously?
