Today I did a small maintenance pass on my free browser-based tool sites.
The main tool I want to share today is LivePhotoKit:
It is a free HEIC and Live Photo converter that runs in the browser.
What it can do
- Convert HEIC to JPG, PNG, WebP, or PDF
- Open .livp Live Photo packages
- Extract still images from Live Photos
- Extract video from Live Photos
- Compress images in the browser
- Batch convert files
The key rule is simple: files are processed locally in the browser. No upload queue, no signup, no watermark.
Why I keep maintaining small tools
Small tools are boring, but boring is useful.
Most people do not need another dashboard. They need one page that solves one file problem fast.
That is why I am building these as static tools on Cloudflare Pages. The hosting cost is close to zero, the pages are easy to index, and every tool can target a specific search intent.
For LivePhotoKit, the search intent is clear:
- open HEIC on Windows
- convert HEIC to JPG
- open LIVP file
- turn Live Photo into GIF or MP4
- compress iPhone photos
I also checked the site today:
- Homepage is live
- robots.txt is live
- sitemap.xml is live
- ads.txt is live
- canonical URL is correct
- structured data exists
Try it here:
This is part of my experiment: use AI to build small free tools, then grow them with search traffic instead of ads.
