Hi everyone! π
I was getting really frustrated with "free" PDF and image formatting tools that either put a massive watermark on your files, hit you with a paywall after two uses, or worseβforce you to upload your highly sensitive documents to their remote servers.
So, I decided to build my own solution: NanoFormatZero.
It's a completely free, serverless utility suite that runs entirely in your browser.
π How it works
Instead of relying on a backend server, NanoFormatZero uses WebAssembly (WASM) and Web Workers to do all the heavy lifting locally in your device's RAM.
Your files literally never leave your computer.
β¨ What it can do:
- PDF Tools: Compress PDFs by up to 50% without quality loss, merge/split documents, and use an AI-assisted redaction tool to permanently black out sensitive text.
- Media Rescue: Convert Apple's HEIC photos to JPG seamlessly, compress WebP, and run local background removal.
- Privacy Shield: Completely wipe hidden EXIF data and GPS coordinates from your photos before uploading them anywhere online.
There are no subscriptions, no data collection, and absolutely no limits. I built this to solve my own problems, and I'm hoping it can help some of you too.
I'd love for you to try it out and destroy some PDFs or images! Let me know what you think, any feedback on the UI or performance would be massively appreciated! π
