Hey HN, I’m Anton, and I’m building ishotaphoto.com (https://ishotaphoto.com) — essentially a free photobooth in your pocket. Just pick the type of document you need a photo for (Green Card lottery, Japan visa, China visa, etc.) — the app already knows all the current requirements. Then upload a selfie (or snap one with the iOS/Android app) and the app takes care of the rest: • Aligns your face • Removes the background • Ensures the correct head-to-photo ratio • Prepares the image with the correct size, dimensions, and format • Gives suggestions on expressions, smiles,…

Hey HN! I made How to Convert. Here's the problem I had and the solution I thought of: Problem When you search "How to convert PNG to ICO" on Google, you get a bunch of shady looking "free" results that send your data to unknown servers. The same is true for almost any conversion you are trying to do. So what do I want? I want something I can trust completely. AKA locally running, doesn't send my files or data anywhere and built by an independent developer building in public. Solution How to Convert Privacy-first: Files stay on your device and it works offline. Wide compatibility: Works with…

Picture Kit▲10I’ve been working on a side project for a while and wanted to share it with the HN community to get feedback. The idea started simple: I wanted to do batch image processing entirely in the browser without uploading anything to a server. Most existing tools were either cloud-based (privacy concerns, slow for large batches) or desktop apps that were hard to automate and combine into workflows. A big source of inspiration was macOS Automator. I really liked how you could chain small actions into repeatable workflows, and I wanted something similar for image processing on the web. At first it…

Smallimg▲7Hi HN, I built a free image compression tool called Smallimg.cc that runs entirely in the browser. The main motivation was privacy. I was never comfortable uploading potentially sensitive images to a third-party server just for compression. This tool solves that by using JavaScript and WebAssembly to perform all the processing on the client-side. Your files are never transferred over the network. Key features: Total Privacy: Your images never leave your computer. Incredible Speed: No upload/download time, just instant processing. Full Control: You can adjust quality, resize, and convert…

fileGOD▲3Just got tired of uploading passports, tax forms, and business contracts to iLovePDF and others after I've read they all store data. That made me built fileGOD. PDF compress, merge, split, and image conversion that runs entirely in the browser. There is no server endpoint that accepts file uploads. The processing pipeline uses WASM and runs on your device. We've ended up with full platform with 30+ pdf, image and utility tools. Would love feedback on quality of the tools you use and overall UX.

Hi HN, I built https://mergejpg.me – a client-side image merging tool that combines multiple JPG images directly in your browser without any server uploads. The Problem: Most image editing tools require uploading your photos to remote servers, which raises privacy concerns for sensitive documents, business presentations, or personal images. The Solution: Complete client-side processing using modern browser APIs. Your images never leave your device. Technical Details: - Built with Next.js 15 and TypeScript - Uses HTML5 Canvas API for image manipulation - Progressive loading for…
