[macOS] [$9.99 โ Free Lifetime] Convert2Any: a local converter for images, video, audio, documents and more, plus PDF tools, OCR and offline speech-to-text
I'm the developer of Convert2Any, a file converter and toolkit for Apple Silicon Macs.
Problem
You have the right file in the wrong format. The usual fixes are uploading it to a converter website you've never heard of, or installing one more single-purpose app: one for video, one for PDFs, one for transcription. I wanted one app that handles all of it on my own Mac, without my files going anywhere.
What it does
Converts 151 source formats, with 5,088 conversion paths across images, audio, video, documents, e-books, spreadsheets, presentations, drawings, data files, subtitles and archives.
Batch conversion with quality settings, progress and cancel. Each file takes the most direct route, so it isn't re-encoded when it doesn't need to be.
32 built-in tools
- PDF: merge, split, reorder, extract pages, crop white margins, page numbers, watermark, compress, password-protect
- Media: resize, crop, rotate, trim, join videos or audio, compress, normalise audio, extract audio, make M4B audiobooks with chapters, and strip metadata (such as GPS location from photos)
- OCR in 100+ languages: searchable PDFs, image to text, image to Word
- Speech to text in 99 languages: audio or video โ SRT, WebVTT, TXT, Word or PDF, with an option to translate into English. It works offline.
Everything runs locally. The app only goes online to activate a license and to download converter packs. It's a 7.5 MB download, and the heavier converters (video, office documents, OCR languages, speech models) come as optional packs that it downloads only after you say yes.
Comparison
- vs CloudConvert (and other online converters): CloudConvert handles a huge range of formats, but your files go to their servers. The free plan is capped at 10 conversions a day and 1 GB per file, and after that you buy credits. Convert2Any works on your Mac with no uploads and no daily cap, and you buy it once.
- vs Permute 4: Permute is great for video, audio and images, and it does OCR and on-device transcription too. Convert2Any also covers office documents, spreadsheets and presentations (including Keynote, Numbers and Visio files), e-books, data files and archives. It adds a full set of PDF tools: merge, split, reorder, watermark, page numbers and passwords. Transcripts can be saved as SRT, WebVTT, TXT, Word or PDF. And it's US$9.99 instead of US$14.99, with the same 3-Mac license.

Feedback is very welcome, especially formats or tools you'd like to see and anything that breaks. I'll be around in the comments.
I would also like if you could upvote or write a comment on my launch post on macapps. It would help so much.
