A desktop app for converting between common video/audio/image/PDF/DOCX formats, OCR'ing scanned documents to text, plus a QR code generator. Your files, converted locally — nothing uploaded anywhere.
Windows: free, ready to run — no Python needed. Linux: free Python source — you'll need Python and a couple minutes to install dependencies (steps in the README).
Pull the audio out of any video file.
Swap formats without a full re-record.
Convert one at a time, or select several and merge them into a single PDF.
Automatically falls back to OCR if the PDF is a scanned image with no text layer.
Pull out all the text (including tables), or convert to PDF.
Turn a photo of a page or a scanned document into a real text file.
Type anything, generate, save — fully offline.
No install, no Python. SmartScreen may flag it as unrecognized since it isn't code-signed — "More info" → "Run anyway."
Python 3.11+, then pip install the packages listed in the README, and run python file_converter.py.
None are bundled — each only gates one feature (video/audio, OCR, and DOCX→PDF on Linux respectively). Everything else works without them, with a clear warning shown for what's missing.
Python environments trip people up more than the app itself does.
