Post Description

Every time I needed to convert images, I had to upload them somewhere. Slow, annoying, and not great for privacy.

So I built a simple Windows tool that does everything locally.

Drag & drop folders

Batch convert to WebP & AVIF

No uploads, no cloud

Fast and minimal UI

Would love feedback.
