Transmute is a self-hosted web application for converting and compressing files, supporting images, video, audio, JSON, Excel, PDF and more with over 3,000 conversion combinations. It is built with a Python FastAPI backend and a React frontend, deployable via Docker.

Use cases

  • convert images to different formats on my own server
  • compress videos without uploading to third-party sites
  • self-hosted file converter for audio files
  • convert excel files to
  • compress pdf documents privately
  • batch convert media files via a web ui

When to choose

  • you need a privacy-friendly, self-hosted alternative to online converters
  • you handle many file types and want one tool for 3,000+ conversions
  • you can deploy Docker services on your own infrastructure

When to avoid

  • you need a lightweight CLI-only converter without a web server
  • you cannot run Docker or a Python backend
  • you need extremely high-volume server-side transcoding pipelines better served by ffmpeg directly
