FileForgeThe file forge.

Hammered out on dedicated metal. A self-hosted file converter for images, audio, video, documents, and archives.

How it works

  1. Upload — pick a file from your computer. We presign a direct upload to our object storage; the API never sees the bytes.
  2. Choose — select a target format and quality preset. Presets are server-validated — no arbitrary flags.
  3. Convert — the job goes into a per-format queue and is picked up by a sandboxed worker (sharp, ffmpeg, LibreOffice, 7z, or pandoc).
  4. Download — poll the status, grab the result. Outputs auto-expire after your retention window.
