Vert is a file converter that runs entirely on your device using WebAssembly, with no files uploaded to the cloud.
Vert solves the privacy and convenience problem of cloud-based file conversion by processing files locally in your browser. It uses WebAssembly to run conversion engines directly on your device, supporting over 250 file formats across images, audio, documents, and video. The tool provides a user-friendly interface built with Svelte and TypeScript, with configurable conversion settings for each file type.
Vert suits anyone who needs to convert files frequently and wants to avoid uploading sensitive data to external services. It works best for users with standard conversion needs across common formats. For video conversion specifically, the tool can operate fully locally through a self-hosted daemon, though the official instance also offers cloud-based video conversion as an alternative. There are no file size limits when running locally, making it practical for large files that would be impractical to upload elsewhere.
The project maintains active engagement with its user base, with nearly all open issues coming from outside users rather than the core team, demonstrating a substantial base of real-world adopters. Maintainers typically respond to new issues and pull requests within a day, indicating responsive and attentive development practices.
