After 3 months of solo building from Calgary, RelahConvert is live on TinyLaunch today.
RelahConvert is a free file converter and editor. The goal was simple: build a tool you can just open and use without thinking about it.
What's inside right now:
Image tools — convert, compress, resize, crop, background removal, passport photos
PDF tools — merge, split, rotate, compress, reorder, extract pages, add page numbers, watermark, crop, protect, unlock, extract images
Office tools — Word, Excel, and PowerPoint to PDF, plus PDF back to all three (just shipped last week)
Everything supports bulk processing. Available in 25 languages.
Why I built it
The honest answer is I wanted to learn by building something real, not by following tutorials. File conversion felt like a useful problem space — most existing tools either lock features behind paywalls, require accounts for basic use, or feel slow.
I'm not a trained developer. I started with no team, no funding, and no roadmap beyond "build something people might actually use."
Where it stands
Three months in, ~1,400 pages indexed, growing slowly. Real visits are still small. The product is functional and shipping, but the marketing and distribution side is the part I'm learning in public.
Today is a milestone — first proper launch on a directory. I have no expectation of cracking the top 3. The point was to do the thing, not to win.

Feedback welcome. I'm especially curious what people think about the no-account-required default — that was a deliberate choice and I'd love to hear if it works for you or feels weird.
Happy to support other indie launches too — drop yours in the comments.
