Introduction
What Transfert is, and how it handles your files
Transfert is a local-first file toolbox: conversion, compression and cleanup tools that run entirely on your machine. Nothing is uploaded anywhere to get a file converted — no server round-trip, no account, no telemetry. If your computer can already do the job, Transfert just gives it a decent interface for doing it.
How it works
Every conversion decodes, re-encodes and then verifies its own output before handing it back:
- writes get re-read and re-hashed
- encodes get re-decoded and compared against the source
A corrupted or truncated result is caught and discarded instead of silently landing in your folder.
What's available today
Image Converter
Convert between PNG, JPG, WEBP, GIF, BMP, TIFF, AVIF, ICO and SVG

Document, audio, video conversion, PDF tools and OCR are planned — see the GitLab project for progress.
Platform
Transfert currently ships for Windows (10 1809+ or 11, x64). macOS support
is in progress — the app icon and .icns bundle asset already exist, but no
macOS build target is wired up yet. Linux isn't packaged either.
