Local Converter is an independent local file conversion application. Its browser interface connects to installed tools on the same computer.
What makes the local workflow different?
The installed app uses libraries and conversion executables on your computer. It does not rely on a remote conversion provider, a login or a cloud-storage account. Different engines preserve different features, so the guides explain supported inputs and practical limitations.
Common questions
Do files leave my computer?
In the installed local app, the browser sends selected files to its local server at 127.0.0.1 on the same computer. No external conversion API is used. The optional browser processing modes run supported operations inside the browser instead.
Can I convert files without internet access?
After installing the app, required engines and local runtime assets, conversions can run offline. Initial setup and dependency downloads need internet access. A public guide page alone does not install or run the local conversion engines.
How long can I download completed results?
Temporary local job copies normally expire after about 30 minutes of inactivity. Downloading a result refreshes its lifetime. Clearing jobs or restarting the server can remove working copies earlier. A download you have already saved is independent of that temporary storage.
