ffmpeg is the best file converter

I'm using ConvertX and I've liked it. How is this one better?

I’m running this. There are a few things I don’t like about it. The biggest issue for me is that it touts itself as a privacy-centric file converter, but then it makes requests to Google Fonts and Cloudflare. I’ve blocked loading of those scripts in my browser, but I don’t understand why you would add those things to a service that’s supposed to be focused on privacy.

The other issue I had is that the default video conversion server URL is baked into the Docker image. Whereas normally I would configure something like this by simply passing an env var through to the container, here I have to build my own image which makes updating the container more of a hassle.

Seems to be fine as a file converter though.

Interesting! It can convert images, audio, docs, video. Normally I would just use CLIs for this type of thing, but actually I could see this being handy for non-techies in the household.

Why do you need to convert files so often?

Oh hell yes I need this
