Every popular file converter - CloudConvert, Convertio, online-convert - uploads your files to their servers. Your photos, videos, documents sit on someone else's machine, even if briefly.
ZenConvert works differently:
Images processed via HTML5 Canvas API
Videos processed by FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly - runs entirely in your browser tab
Nothing touches a server. Ever.
What that means practically:
Convert sensitive documents without worry
Works offline once loaded
50+ image formats, 50+ video formats
Batch conversions, DPI settings, EXIF stripping, video trimming
Advanced Mode unlocks formats most people have never heard of -NASA FITS, Amiga IFF, Kodak Cineon, PlayStation STR. Formats spanning 1981 to 2024.
Pro plan starts at $5/month for unlimited conversions and larger file sizes.
Would love feedback, especially from anyone who's worked with WASM or FFmpeg in the browser before.
