Two weeks ago, I posted on /r/AnalogCommunity and /r/photography about a simple tool I vibe-coded for something that was always annoying: padding my film scans for Instagram without cropping or get photoshop subscription. All the apps I found sucked, premium limitations, ads here and there, you know... I just wanted a minimal, no-login, batch-friendly tool. Not gonna explain, just try it: https://padsnap.app -------- - - - - - - - ----------- The reactions were amazing!! I got more than 1400 people visiting the website on the first 48 hours, and more than 400 upvotes and comments. Here are a few of my favorite real comments from kind Redditors who tried PadSnap: - “Holy hell, thanks man! Always did it in Photoshop, and it took way too much time… The batch mode is a lifesaver!” - “This is wicked. Thank you for doing this without bloating it with adds and subscriptions.” - “Omg I love you, now I don’t have to put every picture into Gimp anymore 😳” — u/ValerieIndahouse - “This is awesome! Thanks for sharing and making it free!!” — u/paul1808 - “I am going to keep this website as a pinned tab on my Chrome!” — u/phenomdark27 - “A free app, without ads or personal data needed, made by someone who just wants to make a good product and share it with the world. It even works offline. What the hell is this, 2005?” — u/effetk - “You are a good man to release this for free, thank you!” — u/ThatDoesntEven - “Can’t believe it took so long for a great tool like this to come out.” — u/calinet6 Someone event bought me my first ever online coffee 🤗 🙏 ☕️ -------- - - - - - - - ----------- So what is PadSnap? PadSnap is a simple web app that adds customizable padding to your photos so they fit Instagram’s/custom dimensions — no cropping, no quality loss. - Modern, intuitive interface with light & dark themes - One-click photo processing for Instagram-friendly dimensions - Customizable borders or blurred image backgrounds - Batch load and preview with ZIP download - Works entirely in your browser – no photos ever leave your device - Progressive Web App (PWA) support for installation on any device

PadSnap 1.9.1 -- What the HEIC - HEIC Support

----

Life is to short to convert image formats manually, right?

Everytime I airdropped some pictures to my laptop to post, I had to convert them to png to be able to make any use of them. I'd say life is to short to convert image formats, PadSnap now supports HEIC (Apple/iPhone picture format), no need to know if your image file is supported or not, just drag and drop them in.

PadSnap now supports more image formats than your browser alone (╯°□°）╯︵ 🎤

Native browser-supported formats:

  • JPEG/JPG - Most common image format

  • PNG - Lossless format with transparency

  • WebP - Modern format with better compression

  • GIF - Animated and static images

  • BMP - Bitmap images

  • SVG - Vector graphics

Additionally supported via conversion:

  • HEIC/HEIF - Apple's high-efficiency format (converted to JPEG before processing)

------

The app accepts image/* in the file input, which means any image format the browser can handle, plus explicit support for .heic/.HEIC files that get automatically converted to JPEG using the heic2any library.
