formats
supported files
images include PNG, JPG, WEBP, BMP, ICO, GIF, TIFF, TGA, AVIF, HEIC, and HEIF. audio and video conversion uses FFmpeg. archives support ZIP, 7Z, TAR, TAR.GZ, TGZ, and GZ.
archives
files and folders
create an archive from multiple files or one folder. drag and drop can combine files and folders. one existing archive can be converted to another archive format.
automatic behavior
animation and stream copying
animation is kept when the selected image format supports it. compatible media streams are copied directly. FFmpeg performs a normal conversion when direct copying is not compatible.
setup
how to install it
- download the latest ZIP
- extract the folder
- run
Installer.bat - open
File Converter.pyw
the ZIP contains only the installer and app. setup creates a private .venv and downloads verified FFmpeg tools into a private .runtime folder. each setup run records its checks in setup.log.
privacy
no uploads
the app has no accounts, telemetry, analytics, uploads, or usage tracking. files stay on your device.
removal
delete the folder
close the app and delete its folder to remove the app and private components. a user-scoped Python install may remain if setup had to install Python.
script swaps
extension changes
BAT and CMD or PY and PYW swaps change only the extension. they do not translate the script or change its contents.
backend
what it uses
conversion uses PySide6, Pillow, pillow-heif, py7zr, FFmpeg, and Python.
