I made an app that converts almost any file to any other file locally.
Just crossed my 1304th user!
I built howtoconvert.co, a universal file converter that runs everything locally on your device.
Most file conversion sites send your data to their servers, which always felt unnecessary and a bit risky. I wanted something that respected privacy, worked offline, and was simple enough that anyone could drag-and-drop files without memorizing command-line tools.
Behind the scenes, it can make use of a wide range of existing conversion engines depending on the format, but the point is that you don’t need to know, or care, what’s powering it. You just get fast, private, no-upload conversions in one place as an app.
