Product guide
Picmu is built so audio stays local: file input, preview, decode, waveform analysis, offline rendering, and export all happen in the browser. This guide explains which pieces rely on native browser APIs, what workers are doing behind the scenes, and where browser limits are still part of the truth.

Benefits
A guide to Picmu's browser audio pipeline, local file handling, waveform analysis, and export constraints.
The guide makes it clear why Picmu can talk about privacy in grounded terms rather than cloud-style marketing language.
It shows why waveform analysis, offline rendering, and export badges appear the way they do on the actual pages.
The guide describes what the product can do locally without implying the browser is a universal audio workstation.
Tradeoffs
Picmu can keep the file local and still be limited by what the browser can decode cleanly.
Workers are used for heavy peaks and encoding tasks where they help, not as a fake signal that every operation is magically universal.
When the browser does not confirm a compressed export target, the product falls back to safer native outputs instead of hiding the limitation.
