Built a web-tool to batch convert image without cloud - would love feedback from professional photographers/graphics

Hey everyone,

I’m working on a small tool that help batch convert image format without sending your image to cloud as most of the computation in done on your local side it’s built with WASM and RUST. It’s aimed at making life easier for professional photographers/ graphic designers

Right now:

  • Batch processing is supported
  • Supported all RASTER file conversions
  • Working on support for RAW, and the Batch for Resize, and Compression

The website works well, but I’ll be honest it’s not so perfect yet. May failed super large file if on uploading mobile phone.

Would love to know

  • what are the biggest pain points you face with batch processing photos
  • what features would you love to see in a tool to handle these tasks efficiently?
  • Any feedback anyone wanted features? What kind of format do you need with Batch Processing?

Thanks in advance

Hi and welcome! This community is focused on Free and Open Source Software. I couldn’t fine a license or link to the source code, and am troubled that the site mentions “free to use but advanced features might require a subscription.”

Is this software freely licensed? If so, can you please link to your source repository? Otherwise I’ll have to remove this post as our community is not interested in doing product development or testing proprietary software. Thanks!

Which probably ends the matter here. But…

I don’t want to disparage anybody’s work, but I have never felt the need for any online tool to do either single or multiple image conversion. One can hardly cross the room without bumping into numerous tools to run on one’s own machine.

Seeing a possibility of a subscription for a single-purpose tool, the advanced features of which I might need maybe once a month if I’m lucky – sorry, no thanks.

Everything these days leans towards a subscription service and I hate it. It makes sense somewhere – and it’s understandable that it might be costly for you to run such services, but I’ll rather do it locally.
