What it does
UploadLess is a free collection of simple browser-based tools for common file tasks. Compress PDFs, compress videos, convert videos, extract text with OCR, and generate barcodes — all from one place. It’s built to be fast, lightweight, and easy to use, without unnecessary steps, account creation, or confusing settings.
Use free online tools for files, images, PDFs, videos, text, barcodes, and more — all directly in your browser. No uploads, no sign-up, and your data stays private.
Most online tools make you upload your files to their servers first — slow, risky, and often limited by file size or a required account. We do it differently: every tool on this site processes your files right on your device, no server involved. That means faster results, complete privacy, and no limits on how often you use them. Deep-dives, real-world tests, and technical experiments from our labs. Recently, I spent some time coding a small utility: a video conversion tool that runs entirely within the browser, powered by the FFmpeg core. To put its capabilities to the test, I grabbed my MacBook Air M3 (16GB RAM) to act as a guinea pig, running a conversion of an old AVI file to MP4…from uploadless.app

Homebrew 6.0.0▲1,481Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
