File Converter is a very simple tool which allows you to convert and compress one or several file(s) using the context menu of windows explorer.
You can download it here: file-converter.io.
You can find more information about what's in File converter and how to use it on the wiki.
File Converter is a personal open source project started in 2014. I have put hundreds of hours adding, refining and tuning File Converter with the goal of making the conversion and compression of files an easy task for everyone.
You can help me by contributing to the project, by making a donation or just by saying thanks :).
