What is SwapFile?

SwapFile is a file conversion tool that runs entirely offline on your device, meaning your files never leave your computer or are sent to external servers. It handles conversion between common file formats, from documents and images to audio and video files. The offline approach makes it useful for anyone working with sensitive documents, those with unreliable internet, or simply people who prefer not to upload files to cloud-based converters. It's designed to be straightforward, without unnecessary features or complicated workflows.
