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 🤗 🙏 ☕️

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.
