Stop sending files to sketchy servers and convert any file offline▲17
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…

PNG to PDF Conversion in the Browser▲77
Hi everyone, I build some "online" converters as a side project in the last weeks. The difference to existing conversion websites is, that my converters don't upload your files. Everything happens in your browser on your device (with the help of a lot of great Open Source Javascript libraries). I think privacy is an essential feature for a service like this, so my converters also don't use google analytics or any other form of tracking (in fact they use no external resources at all).

I built image converters site that run in the browser▲19
Hello HN, I've used a lot of image converter websites to run for my daily jobs, but they required uploading my assets on their servers which I didn't like.
