"Too many headaches with traditional file converters"
first thing I try gives me an error
"File conversion failed: undefined"
try again with different format as the target
"File conversion failed: undefined"
Trying again, but this time with a JPEG to PNG.
"File conversion failed: undefined"
TIFF? error. BMP? error. WEBP? error. ICO? error. m4a to mp3? error.
I don't have a weird setup or browser or anything like that, just regular chrome.

Problem
When you search "How to convert PNG to ICO" on Google, you get a bunch of shady looking "free" results that send your data to unknown servers. The same is true for almost any conversion you are trying to do.
So what do I want? I want something I can trust completely. AKA locally running, doesn't send my files or data anywhere and built by an independent developer building in public.
