- titaphraz 2y agoIt's not clear to me why that's a problem?
- barbs 2y agoI feel this is easier than those solutions in a lot of cases - mainly because you don't need to install anything. Just open website, drag and drop a file, pick target format, done.
- graemep 2y agoWhich is only true if you are not interested in the “self-hostable” part and you installing an app is a significant difficulty. Once an app is installed locally it is more convenient to use - that is why it is so common for apps to replicate (or just wrap) websites. If you are not interested in the self-hostable part there are lots of online converters.
- barbs 2y agoRight, but those online ones are also usually covered in ads, don't run locally, and run the risk of infecting the output with malware.
