August 29, 2026 Launching FileHugger: Free, unlimited, browser-side file converter 🫂

Hey Indie Hackers! 👋

I just published the product page for FileHugger!

What is FileHugger? A free multimedia file converter that runs 100% client-side inside your browser.

Why I built it: Most online converters force you to upload private documents/media to external servers, enforce strict file size caps, or hide basic conversions behind paywalls. FileHugger solves this by processing conversions (WebM to MP4, HEIC to JPG, PDFs, data formatting, etc.) directly in your browser.

Current Stats & Features:

  • 120+ conversion tools built-in.

  • Zero cloud storage costs (meaning it stays free forever).

  • Completely private — files never leave your device.

I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback on the UI or performance! What formats should I prioritize next on the roadmap? 🚀
