App summary

Convert audio and video directly on the device using FFmpeg http://ffmpeg.org/

FFmpeg is a set of open source libraries that allow you to record, convert digital audio and video recordings in various formats. It includes libavcodec, a library for encoding and decoding audio and video, and libavformat, a library for multiplexing and demultiplexing into a media container. The name comes from the name of the MPEG and FF expert group, meaning fast forward.
FFmpeg is already built into the program and does not require downloading additional codecs.
The conversion takes place directly on the device (the Internet is not required), and the conversion speed depends on the processor speed of the device.

Supports: MPEG4, h265, h264, mp3, 3gp, aac, ogg (vorbis and theora), opus, vp8, vp9 and many other formats (you will find the list in the app).

Requirements: Android 4.4 and the availability of the processor ARMv7, ARMv8, x86, x86_64.

FFmpeg with x264, x265, ogg, vorbis, theora, opus, vp8, vp9, mp3lame, libxvid, libfdk_aac, libvo_amrwbenc, libopencore-amr, speex, libsox, libwavpack, libwebp, librtmp

More options can be found in the help pages for FFmpeg.

For Android 11 users: New rules require the application to use more confidential methods of working with files on your device. You will have to copy/move the input files to a shared folder, such as DCIM, Movie, Music, Download. Sorry for the inconvenience

I enjoyed using this app for 2 years with no issues, but since this recent update, I have been unable to get access anymore to the videos files, and only access to audio files is working. I hope you guys can fix this issue

Was great but recently stopped working. Nothing happens when I press the play button. I didn't change the code or options. No idea what happened. But I hadn't used it for a while so maybe some update messed things up. 😔

Doesn't work. For some reason this app is incapable of seeing any files on my device, only folders, can't convert anything it can't see so it's worthless. Probably a permissions issue but since it never requests any permissions there is nothing I can do, either that or it has the worst file extension support ever.
