I recently launched my first side project: WASEVERIN Image Converter.
It is a lightweight online image converter that processes images entirely inside the browser.

Why I built it
Image conversion is a simple problem, but many existing tools require users to:
- Upload images to a remote server
- Create an account
- Wait for server-side processing
- Accept watermarks or usage limits
I wanted to build something simpler.
The goal was to let users open the website, choose an image, convert it, and download the result without installing software or uploading private files.
Privacy-first processing
The most important decision was to process images locally in the browser.
That means:
- Images are not uploaded to a server
- No account is required
- Files are not stored
- The conversion starts immediately on the user's device
For personal photos, documents, screenshots, and other sensitive images, local processing provides a better privacy experience.
Supported formats
The first version supports several common image formats:
- JPG
- PNG
- WebP
- HEIC
- GIF
- SVG
- BMP
- TIFF
The current limit is 10 MB or 40 megapixels per image.
I intentionally kept the first version focused. My main goal was to complete the full product process from idea to launch instead of endlessly adding features before anyone used it.
From idea to launch
This project helped me complete the entire workflow for an independent web product:
- Define a small and clear MVP
- Build the core conversion experience
- Test different image formats
- Deploy the website with Cloudflare Pages
- Configure a custom domain
- Set up Google Search Console
- Submit a sitemap and get the homepage indexed
- Start sharing the product publicly
The website is now live and already indexed by Google.
What I learned
The biggest lesson was that shipping matters more than endless polishing.
As developers, it is easy to keep improving layouts, animations, architecture, and small interactions based only on our own assumptions.
But without real users, many of those improvements are guesses.
Now that the first version is online, my next goal is to collect real feedback and understand:
- Which formats people use most often
- Whether the conversion flow is clear
- Which features are actually missing
- Whether users value local, private processing
What's next
Possible future improvements include:
- More conversion combinations
- Batch image conversion
- Better mobile support
- Additional format-specific options
- Dedicated pages for common conversions such as HEIC to JPG or PNG to WebP
But I do not want to build everything at once.
I would rather learn from actual usage and improve the product based on real needs.
Feedback welcome
I would love to hear your thoughts:
- Which image formats do you convert most often?
- Is browser-only processing important to you?
- What feature would make this tool more useful?
