About this tag
The file converter tag on WindowsForum.com gathers discussion of tools that turn one file format into another, usually from inside Windows itself. Recent coverage centers on File Converter 2.2, a free, GPLv3-licensed open-source utility that adds conversion and compression commands to File Explorer's right-click menu, supports single files and batches, and now handles AVIF images alongside fixes for batch presets.

Expect format support, batch workflows, and Explorer integration to be the recurring themes here.
