Thanks! I really appreciate the suggestion — that’s a great idea, and I’ll definitely consider using Web Workers/WASM for handling bulks. You clearly know your stuff — really professional feedback!


Awesome, sounds great. (I think img converter will not need these method, but audio, or video, or some a little heavy files probably need it.

Thanks for considering it!


Convert SVG->PNG Added,

now it support more From formats:

From format: "SVG, HEIC, AVIF, TIFF, GIF, JPEG, JPG, PNG or WebP" To format: "PNG, JPG, WEBP"


Not use other specific libraries, only the in browser canvas api.

I think a quick tool online is more convinient for common use cases, without install software. when-ever, where-ever a browser is ok.

however, for professional requirements and use cases, a professional software is a MUST choice.

different requirements, different service to met :)


It is easy to verify that:

One way to demonstrate that all processing is being done locally is to load the website, disconnect from the internet, and then use the site.


This is no proof that it doesn't send any data when used for conversions online.

It even could work offline, cache/store data and send it when back online.


No, it is not easy to verify without looking at the source code.


Hey, thanks a lot for the thoughtful feedback — really appreciate you taking the time to write this

Totally agree with you on the UX point. I also believe these tools should be almost invisible — just drag, drop, adjust a few settings, and done. I initially added more text to make the privacy aspect clear (since many users don’t realize it’s 100% local), but you’re right — that could be simplified and better communicated with a single line. I’m already working on a cleaner layout with fewer distractions and a clearer “drop zone.”

Good catch on the title too! I started with “PNG to JPG converter” for SEO reasons, but as the app expanded to support multiple formats (WebP, PNG, JPG.), that label became outdated. I really like your suggested phrasing — something like “ImageConverter — Convert images between formats, locally” is a lot clearer and more accurate.

And thanks for sharing Mazanoke — hadn’t seen that before! Love that it follows the same “everything local” approach. I’ll take a closer look; maybe I can learn a few UX tricks from it as well.

Appreciate your kind words and testing it out! If you have any other UX ideas or thoughts on layout simplification, I’d love to hear them


Great explanation!

Maybe I should not use the text ’upload’ to avoid the confusion


Oh, I see it there in your copy. Yes, I would use a different verb there, such as "pick" or "choose" or "select."


“open”


Good job!


Thanks for your advice, I’ll update some of the text to fix the issue
