No stoping power

Recently my brakes started acting up.

I have to step on the brake pedal really hard to get the car to stop. Pedal is firm/stiff. So far I've tried bleeding the system, looking for leaks and checking my brake fluid level(was good). Hand brake works fine btw.

Master cylinder or brake booster?
