Image Converter

Have you ever needed to convert a bunch of images to a different format — say, from PNG to JPEG — and found yourself uploading files to some sketchy website or juggling heavy desktop tools? We’ve all been there.

That’s exactly why I created Image Converter, a lightweight, privacy-friendly Chrome extension that lets you batch convert images instantly inside your browser, with zero uploads.

🚀 What Is Image Converter?

Image Converter is a simple Chrome extension that lets you:

✅ Convert multiple images at once
✅ Choose from PNG, JPEG, WebP, or BMP formats
✅ Drag and drop or select files manually
✅ Automatically adapts to light and dark mode
✅ Works entirely offline — no internet or uploads required
✅ Fully open-source on GitHub

👉 Install it from GitHub:

🖼️ Why Another Image Converter?

Most online image converters:

• ❌ Require uploading your private files

• ❌ Have annoying ads or paywalls

• ❌ Don’t support batch processing

• ❌ Can’t work offline

With Image Converter, you stay in control:

• No file leaves your computer

• No server processing

• No tracking or analytics

• It just works — fast and clean.

💡 Use Cases

• 🧑‍💻 Developers converting design assets

• 🖌️ Designers preparing previews in different formats

• 📸 Photographers exporting JPEGs for web

• 🧍‍♀️ Everyday users who need to shrink PNGs to JPGs

🔧 How It Works

1. Install the extension in developer mode:

   • Clone the GitHub repo

   • Go to chrome://extensions/

   • Enable Developer mode

   • Click Load unpacked and select the folder

2. Open the extension

3. Drag in or select image files

4. Pick a format (PNG, JPEG, WebP, BMP)

5. Click "Convert & Download ZIP"

6. 🎉 Done! Your converted files are zipped and downloaded.

⚙️ Supported Formats

🕶️ Looks Great in Dark Mode Too

The UI adapts to your system theme — whether you’re rocking light or dark mode, the extension blends right in.
