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.</p> <p>The process was repetitive and took more time than it should.</p> <p>I wanted a simpler solution.</p> <p>What UploadEze Does</p> <p>UploadEze helps prepare your files before you upload them.</p> <p>Current features include:</p> <p>Resize images in a few clicks</p> <p>Convert files to PDF</p> <p>Reduce the time spent preparing files</p> <p>Make file uploads faster and easier</p> <p>The goal is to remove unnecessary steps from the upload process.</p> <p>Building the First Version</p> <p>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.</p> <p>Building a Chrome extension taught me a lot about browser APIs, user experience, and creating a simple workflow that people can use every day.</p> <p>There is still a lot to improve, and I plan to keep adding new features based on user feedback.</p> <p>What's Next</p> <p>Some ideas I am exploring include:</p> <p>Better support for different image formats</p> <p>More PDF editing features</p> <p>Smarter file optimization</p> <p>Automatic detection of upload requirements on supported websites</p> <p>My goal is to make UploadEze a complete file preparation tool for anyone who uploads documents or images regularly.</p> <p>I Would Love Your Feedback</p> <p>If you have a few minutes, please try UploadEze and let me know what you think.</p> <p>Your feedback will help me improve the extension and decide what to build next.</p> <p>Chrome Web Store:<a href="https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/cclcgjdnmcfkcigdkidabonclifgoihg" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/cclcgjdnmcfkcigdkidabonclifgoihg</a></p> <p>Thank you for reading.</p> productivity showdev sideprojects webdev
