What is it?

VERT is a file conversion web app that uses WebAssembly to convert files on the user's device rather than on a remote server. It is built with Svelte and TypeScript and offers a user-friendly interface for converting between a wide range of formats, with the project citing support for over 250 file formats.

Conversion covers images, audio, documents and video. Local conversion runs in the browser, while some video conversions may require server-side processing. The official instance provides server video conversion, and the separate vertd daemon can be self-hosted to keep video processing private and fully local.

The project places no file or file size limits on conversions and includes adjustable conversion settings. It is licensed under AGPL-3.0 and can also be run with Docker.
