What it converts
FileConverter routes each file to the right engine automatically — ffmpeg, pandoc, ImageMagick, and LibreOffice — all running locally.
Full-fidelity conversion between all major document formats.
Raster, vector, RAW — convert and re-encode with ImageMagick.
Re-encode or extract audio from any video file with ffmpeg.
Lossless and compressed transcoding between all audio formats.
Transform data files with pandas. Multi-sheet XLSX aware.
Privacy first
Most online converters upload your files to a server and store them — sometimes indefinitely. FileConverter does the opposite.
No telemetry, no analytics, no pinging home. Works identically with Wi-Fi off. Contracts, health records, financials — nothing leaves your disk.
No sign-up, no licence key, no email. FileConverter doesn't know who you are or what you convert. It's a tool, not a service.
Powered by ffmpeg, pandoc, ImageMagick, and LibreOffice — audited by millions of developers. No proprietary black box processes your data.
How it works
Install once, forget about it. FileConverter lives in your menu bar and is always one right-click away.
Open FileConverter and it settles into your menu bar. It registers as a Login Item so it's ready on every restart — automatically.
In Finder, right-click any supported file. "Convert to…" appears in the context menu. Hover to see every valid output format.
A spinning badge appears on the file while it converts. A green checkmark confirms success. The new file lands right next to the original.
Conversions run through locally installed tools — ffmpeg, pandoc, ImageMagick. No network request is ever made.
