OpenConvert puts a file-conversion workbench on your desktop

Editorial interest 86/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An open-source desktop converter for images, audio, video, and documents, with 260 routes across 50 formats and optional on-device AI.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-12 issue.

Field notes

The interface separates conversion routes from operational controls: users can choose output locations, preserve or remove metadata, reuse sandbox workers, and set naming templates. It also exposes local model footprints—8.3 MB for audio cleanup and 77.6 MB for transcription—and identifies a weekly engine revocation list as the program's only network call. The page offers Windows, macOS, and Linux downloads, while some browser examples are visibly limited compared with the desktop application.
