File Converter is a minimalist open‑source tool (GPL‑3.0) that lets users convert and compress one or multiple files directly via the Windows Explorer context menu. It integrates with powerful back-end utilities—FFmpeg, ImageMagick, Ghostscript—to handle a broad range of media and document transformations. File Converter is a personal open source project started in 2014. I have put hundreds of hours adding, refining and tuning File Converter with the goal of making the conversion and compression of files an easy task for everyone. File Converter is a very simple tool which allows you to convert and compress one or several file(s) using the context menu of windows explorer.

Features

  • Convert or compress files directly from Explorer context menu
  • Supports diverse formats: audio, video, images, documents (e.g., MP4, GIF, HEIC, PDF)
  • Uses FFmpeg, ImageMagick, Ghostscript under the hood for conversions
  • Lightweight and user‑friendly interface
  • Local and privacy‑respectful—no ads or data collection
  • Multi‑language localization support
