Original Summary

Going to some shady website for file conversions was really annoying me because I had to hope whatever I gave them wasn&#x27;t saved, and whatever I got back wasn&#x27;t something &quot;unexpected.&quot; So I made convkit, a CLI that does file conversions 100% locally. Run<p><pre><code> conv in.mp4 out.gif </code></pre> and you get your GIF from the right tool (ffmpeg, ImageMagick, etc.) using settings tuned for good output. For example, a GIF&#x27;s 256 colors are picked from the clip itself instead of ffmpeg&#x27;s generic palette.<p>And if you&#x27;ve ever had an issue uploading a file that is too large, you can use the --max-size flag:<p><pre><code> conv clip.mp4 --max-size 10mb </code></pre> It trades resolution, frame rate and bitrate against each other, so you get the best-looking version that still fits.<p>Notes<p>- In early stages (0.3.x) so some issues pop up<p>- You only need the tools for the conversions you use, so video and GIFs only need ffmpeg; LibreOffice, pandoc and Typst are only for documents; Image to Image needs ImageMagick.<p>- Not all features are listed. If you are interested go to the github page! <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;shdwfruit&#x2F;convkit" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;shdwfruit&#x2F;convkit</a><p>- If you want any specific conversions, let me know!<p>Thanks for reading!
