## What it is
VERT is an open-source web-based file converter that converts images, audio, documents, and video between 250+ formats. Non-video conversions run fully on-device via WebAssembly (using FFmpeg, ImageMagick, and Pandoc), while video conversion uses a self-hostable daemon.

## Use cases
- convert images to different formats without uploading them
- convert audio files locally in the browser
- convert documents between formats like pdf and docx
- convert video files online without ads
- self-host a private file conversion service
- convert large files with no size limit

## When to choose
- you need privacy-focused, on-device file conversion
- you want a free converter with no file size limits or ads
- you want to self-host a conversion service with Docker

## When to avoid
- you need fully local video conversion without running the daemon yourself
- you need batch or scripted CLI conversion rather than a web UI
