Why does this exist?

Honestly? I got tired of shady file converter sites. You know the ones — buried behind 47 ads, asking you to sign up for newsletters you don't want, watermarking your files, or just straight up not working.

I just wanted to convert a PNG to JPG without jumping through hoops. Is that too much to ask?

So I built Shift. It's dead simple: drag your files in, pick a format, done. No accounts, no watermarks, no sketchy upload servers. Everything happens right in your browser using FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly.

What makes this different?

• Actually free — no "premium tier" hiding the features you need
• Private — your files never leave your computer
• Fast — no uploading to remote servers
• Works offline — once it's loaded, you don't even need internet

Who made this?

Hi, I'm @blazfxx. I make random tools when something annoys me enough. This was one of those times.

The code is open source on GitHub if you want to poke around or suggest improvements. Or just use it and never think about it again — that's cool too.
