That's why I always prefer an offline converter. Also if your upload a file somewhere the website can save it for their own purpose alhough they say they won't do it.

The website mentions that there are fake offline converters that push malware as well.

[–] MemmingenFan923@feddit.org 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes this can also happen. I should have written open source offline converter

What you recommend in terms of offline open-source converters?

[–] dreadbeef@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 weeks ago

Pandoc for documents, ffmpeg for video , imagemagick for images

What are you looking to convert?

Usually what i do is look for any converter and look for open source alternatives to it on alternativeto.net and hopefully one of the top 3 alternatives fits your use case

Psst the URL is: https://alternativeto.net/ I always stop here first to research what software options there are available and also learning what other people are using. Extremely useful and trustworthy site!

Thanks i dropped the "to"
