In plain words

This tool converts webpages into bitmap HTML, creating image-based versions of web content. Designed by a developer focused on building fast, high-quality software with attention to detail, it serves users who need to preserve webpage layouts as static images. The resulting files are notably large in size, making this useful for archival purposes or creating pixel-perfect webpage snapshots.

    Hey HN I built ResizeImage.dev that runs 100% client-side — nothing gets uploaded, and it’s instant. What it does Resize, crop, and optimize images directly in your browser Supports JPG, PNG, WebP Works offline (PWA-ready) No tracking, no server, no data collection How it works It uses the Canvas API and WebAssembly codecs to process everything locally. All transformations happen in-memory, so no files ever leave your machine. Why I built it I needed a simple, no-BS way to resize images for web and social media — something fast, private. Try it https://resizeimage.dev Feedback…
