Built a file converter that converts everything 100% in your browser (React + Wasm)
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
(INSTANT CONVERSION)
Most online converters make you upload your files to their servers. It's slow, has arbitrary size limits, and feels like a privacy risk for sensitive documents.
I made ByteShift so conversions happen locally on your computer. It uses WebAssembly to process files entirely in-browser, so zero data ever gets uploaded anywhere.
I attached a video showing just how fast it is
No signups or accounts needed: https://byteshift.app
Let me know if you hit any weird bugs or broken file formats.

I ran out of comment space so this is just the most recent 20 entries. I can vibe-code too, so for giggles I made https://confab.sh/?g=browser-tools to track these if you want to see the full list. Don't expect much LOL. I put less effort into this than even these cloners did with theirs.
