The Problem I Solved

We've all been there – you need to quickly compress an image, resize it, or convert formats, but every web tool you find is cluttered with ads that pop up right when you're trying to work. I wanted to create something different: a clean, professional tool that just works, without distractions.

Core Features

TransPic offers four main image processing capabilities, each designed with user experience in mind:

🗜️ Smart Image Compression

The compression feature uses advanced algorithms to reduce file size while maintaining visual quality. You have full control over the compression process.

The Development Journey

Building TransPic was an exercise in creating something truly useful. The biggest challenge was implementing reliable image processing in the browser while maintaining performance. I chose to process everything client-side to ensure privacy – your images never leave your device.

The PDF processing feature was particularly interesting to implement, requiring careful integration with PDF.js to handle various PDF formats and page selections.

TransPic proves that powerful tools don't need to be complicated or cluttered – sometimes, clean and simple is exactly what users need.
