What it does

FileForge is built by me, a 17 year old student just by vibe-coding on Lovable! Its main use is to compress your files so that you can easily upload them to websites which require uploads below a certain maximum limit. It supports Images, PDFs, Audio and Video files!

Compress and convert images, PDFs, video and audio for free. Everything runs in your browser — your files never leave your device, and your first file needs no signup.

Image, video, audio and PDF processing all run locally in your browser via WebAssembly. No uploads, no servers, no waitingfrom fileforge.biz

    I am a developer. I have been building stuff for the last 13 years. One common challenge in all my projects is compressing assets to make them as small as possible. I used to end up using online compressors, but this has a lot of privacy concerns. So, I finally set down for couple of weeks and built this simple app. I can just drag and drop assets in it and it shrinks them. It currently supports around 25 file types. I built a lot of iOS apps but this is the first time building a macOS app, so any feedback is welcome.

    Hope this sparks some conversation. Interested to get the community's take on an app we use internally to find files and provide targeted file content to chatbots. Biggest gains in search are for windows users but I am interested to get feedback from the spotlight users. With the AI export we originally used and MCP connector but when back to drag and drop export of file content due to security and universal applicability. No worries about your file security. Everything runs on-device and works offline. One click download at fileforge.com. Open to any feedback. Brent

  • Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  • Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
