Video and Image Converter

Command-line tool to convert videos and images between formats (FFmpeg for video, Pillow for images, rawpy for Canon CR2 RAW).

Developed by L3CHUGU1T4

Install (PyPI)

Requires Python 3.8+ and FFmpeg (for video conversion; images work without it).

pip install video-converter-cli

Requirements

• Python 3.8+
• FFmpeg (for video conversion)
• Pillow and rawpy (included via pip; rawpy may need LibRaw on your system if wheels are unavailable)

Usage

Run converter from any directory:

converter --help

Arguments and options

Default output

• Videos: <name>.mp4 in the same directory.
• Images: JPEG/JPG → <name>.png; others (including CR2) → <name>.jpg.

Supported formats

• Video: AVI, MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, FLV, WMV, M4V
• Image: JPEG, PNG, BMP, TIFF, WebP, GIF, CR2 (Canon RAW)

Examples

converter video.avi
converter video.avi -o output.mov
converter image.jpg
converter image.png -o output.jpg
converter video.avi --quality slow --crf 18
converter file1.avi file2.jpg file3.png
converter canon.cr2
converter canon.cr2 -o developed.png

Building an executable locally (optional)

If you want a standalone executable (no pip) on your machine:

pip install -r requirements.txt
python build_exe.py
python install.py

Or manually:

pip install pyinstaller
pyinstaller --onefile --name converter Converter.py

The executable will be in dist/converter (or dist/converter.exe on Windows).

Publishing to PyPI

To publish or update the package on PyPI:

pip install build twine
python -m build
twine upload dist/*.whl dist/*.tar.gz

(Use build_exe.py only for building the standalone executable; use python -m build for the PyPI package.)

Users can then install with: pip install video-converter-cli and run converter.
