CamoConvert

⨳ Local File Conversion ⨳

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

The Problem

Online file converters store and log your data

Media and documents contain confidential hidden EXIF and metadata

"Free" web tools risk data exposure and malicious links

Our Solution

Convert files fully locally

Outputs are re-encoded and metadata-scrubbed by default

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

1

Load

Drag a file or load a folder full of files

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 clean, metadata-free images.

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 with confusing ads and download links.

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

Maximally compliant and air-gapped.

No telemetry, no background services.

Batch Mode

Per-file table with output options, sequential processing, and conflict handling.

Runs on a normal laptop with per-file progress bars and cancel buttons.

Headless CLI

Bundled with the GUI — recursive folder runs, parallel workers, conflict policies.

Great for folder watchers, token-efficient agent workflows, and 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.

What hardware requirements are there?

CamoConvert Pro is available for Windows and macOS. Suggested hardware requirements are 4GB of RAM and 2GB of free disk space; the app is lightweight and runs well on consumer-grade hardware.

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.
