Hey everyone! 👋 I built BrowserConvert because I was tired of "sketchy" online converters that require you to upload private files to their servers. Even if they claim to delete them, that feeling of anxiety always stuck with me. So, I fell into the classic developer trap: I spent months building my own solution that runs entirely on the client side. 🛠️ How it works: Local Processing: It uses FFmpeg and ImageMagick compiled to WebAssembly (WASM). Your files stay in your browser's RAM and never touch a backend. Speed: No upload or download wait times, which is a game-changer for large video files. Privacy: No accounts, no tracking of your file content, and it literally works offline. I’d love your feedback on: UI/UX: Does it feel intuitive that nothing is being uploaded? Feature Requests: What formats should I add next? I'll be here all day to answer your technical questions! 🚀

Congrats on the launch well done

Curious how you’re thinking about building early user reviews and long-term trust now that the Product Hunt traffic is rolling in?

@meenah1939 Currently just trying to get feedback from users(reddit and PH), also thinking about how to convince users that conversion is done only locally, seems like the description isn't enough.

This is cool!

I was having a similar need, for a local file conversion, recently. I ended up having an "alpha" state browser extension after 1-2 hours of coding with the help of AI. It would integrate the conversion to the right-click menu, for saving an .mp4 as .gif. It ended up needing around 30MB to execute ffmpeg in a hidden browser tab and needed several minutes to complete. I guess you solved these issues ... Maybe some inspiration for features in the future though :)

@phil_j1 May you describe your use case in more detail? Yep, currently I can process video files up to 2gb in output, for speed 1 gb video - to - video conversion done under 10 min.
