What it is

A web app that converts files between formats entirely in the browser, so nothing is uploaded to a server. It chains conversion tools together to cross media boundaries, such as turning a video into a PDF or an SVG into a raster image. People who need an odd conversion without trusting an upload site can use the public instance or run their own copy with Docker or any static web server.
