title: html/javascript page that files can be loaded to
body: <p>I want to write a html file that can access files on my computer with gui like this one:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://smallpdf.com/pdf-to-jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://smallpdf.com/pdf-to-jpg</a></p>
  
  <p>In the yellow box it says "choose file". you can click that and choose a file from your computers file system. I would like to do something similar and then be able to use the files in the html.</p>
  
  <p>In particular I want the user to be able to choose a png and then convert it to a html canvas and then do stuff with that canvas. I want everything to be local, so nothing should be uploaded like the website i linked to does.</p>
  
  <p>How does one do this?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
  
  <p>Sorry this wasn't clear, I want to have all the file processing handled by the html page not by some php on a server. I don't want there to be a server side component to this. If that is not possible please let me know, thanks again.</p>
  
  <p>I want everything to be able to work off line so you could just have the html page, open it, and use it.</p>
