Pasteup is a browser-based cutting mat for making collages, scrapbook pages and dedications. There is no account or backend. Everything runs client-side, and your project autosaves to the browser via IndexedDB so a refresh never loses work.

You add images by uploading them, pasting from the clipboard or searching Wikimedia Commons and Openverse. Then you cut them out with a freehand or rectangular snip, arrange them across multiple pages, and export a page as a PNG.

It is built with React, TypeScript, and Vite, using Konva for the canvas and Zustand for state. The image sources are pluggable, so new connectors can drop straight into the sidebar.
