CamoConvert

⨳ Local File Conversion ⨳

Convert images, video, audio, and documents on your device.
No uploads, no cloud, no telemetry.

The Problem

Online converters require uploading your files to a stranger's server

HEIC photos, private documents, and personal video carry EXIF and metadata that travels with them

"Free" web tools retain, log, or train on your data — and break the moment you go offline

Our Solution

Convert files fully on your device with bundled local engines

Image, video, and audio outputs are re-encoded and metadata-scrubbed by default

No internet, no API keys, no accounts. Files never leave your machine

1

Drop

Drag a file or folder into the app

2

Convert

Pick an output format and convert locally

3

Save

Choose where the clean output lands



HEIC & EXIF

Convert iPhone HEIC photos to JPG, PNG, or WEBP — and strip EXIF tags in the process.

Photographers, journalists, and legal professionals get a fresh, metadata-free image without sending anything to a website.

Audio from Video

Pull MP3, M4A, AAC, WAV, FLAC, or OGG straight out of any MP4, MOV, MKV, or WEBM.

No uploading to sketchy "extractor" sites that can inject malware into your download — runs entirely on your laptop.

Docs to Markdown

Turn PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, and more into Markdown, HTML, or plaintext.

Perfect for preparing documents for lightweight, metadata-free AI context.

100% Offline

Fully bundled stack — no internet access required at runtime.

Air-gapped friendly. No telemetry, no licensing pings, no background services.

Batch Mode

Drop a folder, get a per-file table with its own format picker, progress bar, and cancel button.

Sequential processing and conflict handling, operating on a normal laptop.

Headless CLI

camoconvert-cli ships alongside the GUI — same engines, scriptable.

JSON output, recursive folder runs, parallel workers, dry-run, conflict policies for folder watchers, agent workflows, or build pipelines.

FAQ

Does CamoConvert send my files anywhere?

No. CamoConvert performs every conversion on your device using bundled local engines and a local document stack. It does not initiate or accept network connections, and it works in air-gapped environments. Verifiable with any packet-capture tool.

How is this different from an online HEIC or PDF converter?

Online converters require uploading your file to a third-party server, where it may be cached, logged, or used to train models, and presents opportunities for malware injection. With CamoConvert, your file never leaves your machine, and image/video/audio outputs are re-encoded with EXIF and embedded metadata stripped.

Can I extract audio from video without uploading to YouTube or an online tool?

Yes. Use any MP4, WEBM, MOV, MKV, AVI, M4V, or WMV as the input, and pick MP3, M4A, AAC, WAV, FLAC, or OGG as the output. The app performs the extraction locally.

Does CamoConvert remove EXIF and document metadata?

Yes. Image conversions are written as fresh saves with all EXIF tags removed. Video and audio outputs drop embedded metadata and chapters. Same-format re-encoding is supported specifically for metadata scrubbing.

Can I use CamoConvert from the command line or in scripts?

Yes. The Pro app ships with camoconvert-cli, a headless CLI with JSON output, recursive batch mode, parallel workers, dry-run, and conflict policies — well-suited for folder watchers, build pipelines, and AI agent workflows. See the CLI section of the User Guide.

Is there a macOS version?

The first release is Windows-only. A macOS build is in progress and will share the same offline runtime model and pinned dependency set.

Why convert documents to Markdown for AI?

Modern LLMs ingest plain text and Markdown more reliably than binary PDFs or DOCX, and Markdown is dense and cheap on tokens. CamoConvert extracts the text content locally so you can paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, or any model without ever uploading the source document.
