Why I built a serverless WebP converter (Client-side WASM)

The Problem: I got tired of waiting for slow upload bars just to convert a 50KB WebP image. Plus, uploading private screenshots to a random server feels wrong.

The Solution: I built a "Zero-Server" tool. It runs entirely in the browser using JavaScript and Canvas processing.

No Uploads: Your file never leaves localhost.

No Limits: Batch process 100 files if you want.

The Tool: https://sheldons.it

It’s a simple tool for a simple problem. Hope it helps anyone else who hates "freemium" file converters, I'll be adding more converters soon!
