Introducing UploadEze: A Chrome Extension That Makes File Uploads Faster

Today, I'm happy to share my first Chrome extension, UploadEze, which is now available on the Chrome Web Store.

Why I Built It

Many websites have different file upload requirements. Some require a specific image size, while others ask for PDFs with certain limits. Because of this, I often had to open another website or application just to resize an image or convert a file before uploading it.

The process was repetitive and took more time than it should.

I wanted a simpler solution.

What UploadEze Does

UploadEze helps prepare your files before you upload them.

Current features include:

Resize images in a few clicks

Convert files to PDF

Reduce the time spent preparing files

Make file uploads faster and easier

The goal is to remove unnecessary steps from the upload process.

Building the First Version

This is the first public release of UploadEze. Like many side projects, it started with a simple idea: solve a problem that I faced regularly.

Building a Chrome extension taught me a lot about browser APIs, user experience, and creating a simple workflow that people can use every day.

There is still a lot to improve, and I plan to keep adding new features based on user feedback.

What's Next

Some ideas I am exploring include:

Better support for different image formats

More PDF editing features

Smarter file optimization

Automatic detection of upload requirements on supported websites

My goal is to make UploadEze a complete file preparation tool for anyone who uploads documents or images regularly.

I Would Love Your Feedback

If you have a few minutes, please try UploadEze and let me know what you think.

Your feedback will help me improve the extension and decide what to build next.
