README excerpt
A free, open-source file converter you use by dragging. Hold a key ( Ctrl , Option on macOS), drag files and drop them on a format in the donut that opens at your cursor. Website · Download · Install · Command line · Development English · 한국어 · 简体中文 Right at your cursor No app window to open. The formats appear where you already are, only the ones that make sense for the files you drag. 255 formats, no other software Images, PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, HWP, e-books, archives, fonts, CAD, 3D models and geospatial data work without Office, Hancom Office or LibreOffice. Stays on your computer Nothing is uploaded. Filee works offline and saves the result next to the original. ## See it in action Watch the 27-second video and try the interactive demo on filee.sh ## Install Download from Releases. - **Windows 10/11**: run `Filee- -win-Setup.exe`, or unzip the `win-Portable.zip` and run `Filee.exe`. Setup is Filee's own installer, in Filee's languages, and needs nothing else on the PC. It can add the Explorer menu, start at sign-in, the `filee` command and optional engines; silent installs take Inno Setup's switches (`/VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES`). - **macOS 14+** (preview): unpack the `osx-arm64` or `osx-x64` package and run `./install.sh`. The build isn't notarized yet, so allow the first start in System Settings → Privacy & Security → **Open Anyway**. - **Linux x64/ARM64** (preview, Ubuntu 22.04+): unpack the package and run `./install.sh` (no root, needs Python 3). Drag gestures need X11. On Wayland, use the drop zone and the file manager's right-click menu. Filee shows new releases in its menu and updates itself, keeping your settings and engines. ## Features - **A donut at the cursor**: hold a key, drag files and drop them on a format. Only formats that fit the files appear. - **Straight from the browser**: drag a picture, a link to a file or a download out of Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari the same way. Filee saves it to your Downloads folder (or keeps only the converted file) and converts it. Links are downloaded without your browser's sign-in. - **One toolbar per file type**, arranged by drag and drop, with presets for quality, size, DPI, PDF pages and compression, video and audio, output folder and file names. - **Two sides to every donut**: press Tab or turn the mouse wheel while it is open to flip it over to less common formats and tools. - **Many files at once**, in parallel. Routes with several steps (HWP → HWPX → DOCX) are found automatically. - **Watch folders** convert every file that lands in them. - **Other ways in**: the right-click menu, a keyboard shortcut, the drop zone and the `filee` command. - Light and dark themes, in English, Español, 日本語, 한국어, 简体中文, Polski, हिन्दी and Русский. ## Screenshots Arrange the donut by drag and drop, one profile per file type Home: drop zone and recent conversions ## Formats | From | To | |---|---| | **Images**: JPG, PNG, WEBP, AVIF, TIFF, BMP, GIF, APNG, ICO, ICN
