Description
Drop any file and pick what it becomes. ToAny detects the type from the file's contents and converts it on your own device with WebAssembly: images, video, audio, PDFs, documents, spreadsheets, archives, fonts and 3D models. 177 formats, 1,123 pairs. Browser conversions never upload your file. The few formats a browser can't handle run on a server, clearly labelled and only with your consent. Free, no sign-up, batch convert and download as a ZIP.

Could you build this?
Partial A generic file converter UI is easy, but compiling, porting, and orchestrating stable WebAssembly builds across 177 distinct media, 3D, document, font, and archive formats directly in the browser is an enormous low-level systems engineering effort.
What it would actually take: Building this requires compiling dozens of separate C/C++ libraries (FFmpeg, LibreOffice/uno, Assimp, FreeType, ImageMagick, libarchive) to WebAssembly via Emscripten with memory-efficient streaming. The hardest challenges are browser memory constraints (SharedArrayBuffer and WASM heap limits), format sniffers for obscure types, and optimizing heavyweight conversions so they don't crash mobile or low-spec browsers.
