From the sources
25 free PDF and image tools that run inside your browser. Compress, convert, merge, split and sign files without sending them to a processing server, creating an account or adding a watermark. The privacy claim is narrow and testable: the site uses normal network requests, but the file you select is not uploaded for processing.
Compress images, convert HEIC to JPG, merge and split PDFs — right in your browser. Your files never leave your device.
No matching tool. Try a file type, an action, or a phrase such as “make it smaller”. Favorites and recently used tool names stay in this browser and are never sent to us. Compress, convert and organize images and PDFs right in your browser. Nothing gets uploaded. Already JPG — converting to the same format changes nothing. Compress instead Pick a category, search by outcome, or star the tools you want to find instantly next time. Make photos smaller or a different size without touching a server. Move a file between formats with the real encoders, in your tab. Icons, vectors and encodings — the file work that sits next to the code. No tool matches that search. Try a format such as PDF, JPG,…from shrink.run

Clipto MCP▲655Hey 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…
