Every time I optimized images for a website, I ended up doing the same annoying loop:
- upload images
- wait
- download again
- repeat
It sounds small, but it completely kills your flow when you're working on real projects.
Especially when you're dealing with:
- batches of images
- WebP / AVIF conversions
- multiple iterations
At some point I just thought:
why am I still uploading files in 2026?
So I built a small local tool that does exactly what I needed:
- drop a folder
- convert everything to WebP / AVIF
- done
No uploads. No browser tabs. No friction.
It’s not meant to be another "online converter alternative".
It’s just a faster workflow.
Curious how others handle this.
Do you still use online converters or do you have a local setup?
