I built a 100% Privacy-First Image Converter using Alpine.js & Tailwind

As developers, we often need to convert images or optimize them for performance. But I always hated uploading my private project images to some random cloud server just to convert them to WebP or PNG.
I wanted a tool that:
Runs locally: No backend, no storage, no uploads.
Privacy-First: Everything happens inside the browser.
Fast: No server lag or network latency.
So, I built WebPConvert.pro.
It uses standard browser APIs to handle image processing. No heavy libraries or backend infrastructure needed. It’s been a great exercise in understanding how much we can actually do on the client-side without relying on a server.
If you’re a developer who values privacy and site speed, check it out and let me know what you think! Would love some feedback on how to improve the compression engine.
