Run converter from any directory:

converter --help

Default output

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

Supported formats

  • Video: AVI, MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, FLV, WMV, M4V
  • Image: JPEG, PNG, BMP, TIFF, WebP, GIF

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.
