Description
Frame is a fast, native, and privacy-friendly media conversion application built on top of FFmpeg, designed for users who want full control over video and audio encoding without touching the command line.
It uses a Rust-powered backend for high-performance task execution and a modern Svelte 5 interface for clean configuration, progress tracking, and preset management.
It runs entirely on your system, performs conversions locally, and provides a smooth desktop experience across Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Use Cases
- Convert videos and audio files without learning FFmpeg commands
- Encode media using modern codecs like H.265, AV1, VP9, or ProRes
- Batch-convert files with controlled quality and bitrate
- Use hardware acceleration where available
- Monitor progress and logs in real time
- Create reusable presets for repeated workflows
