You have 200 HEIC photos from a weekend trip that need to be JPG before you can upload them to a client gallery. Or maybe you recorded 30 interview clips in MOV format and every single one needs to be MP4 before your editor will touch them. Perhaps your company just migrated systems and there are 500 PDFs that need to become editable Word documents by Friday. Whatever the scenario, you are staring at a mountain of files that all need the same conversion — and doing them one at a time is not an option.
Manual file conversion is one of the biggest hidden time sinks in modern work. Converting a single file takes 30 seconds to a minute. That sounds trivial until you multiply it by 50, 200, or 1,000 files. Suddenly you have lost an entire afternoon to repetitive clicking, uploading, downloading, and renaming. Batch conversion eliminates that pain entirely. Instead of converting files one by one, you process them all at once — often in less time than it would take to manually convert five files individually.
This guide covers every practical method for batch converting files in 2026: online tools that handle bulk uploads, command-line utilities that process thousands of files in minutes, desktop software for power users, and automation techniques that let you set up conversion pipelines that run without any human intervention at all.
Quick Overview: Batch Conversion Methods Compared
Before diving into the details, here is a side-by-side comparison of the three main approaches to batch file conversion. The right method depends on your file types, volume, and technical comfort level.
| Method | Best For | File Types | Max Volume | Technical Skill | Cost | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | Online converter (ConvertIntoMP4) | Quick batch jobs, any device | Images, video, audio, documents | 50–100 files per batch | Beginner | Free | | Command-line tools (FFmpeg, ImageMagick, LibreOffice) | Large volumes, automation, scripting | All file types | Unlimited | Intermediate–Advanced | Free (open source) | | Desktop software (HandBrake, XnConvert, Adobe) | Regular workflow integration, GUI preference | Varies by tool | Hundreds to thousands | Beginner–Intermediate | Free to paid |
Each method has clear strengths and tradeoffs. Online converters win on convenience and accessibility — no installation, works on any device, minimal learning curve. Command-line tools win on raw power, scalability, and automation potential. Desktop software lands in the middle, offering a graphical interface with more horsepower than a browser-based tool.
Pro Tip: You do not have to pick just one method. Many professionals use an online converter for quick one-off batches during the day and run command-line scripts overnight for large-volume jobs. Match the tool to the task.

What Is Batch File Conversion?
Batch file conversion is the process of converting multiple files from one format to another in a single operation, rather than processing each file individually. Instead of opening a converter, uploading one file, downloading the result, and repeating that cycle hundreds of times, you feed an entire collection of files into a tool and let it process everything at once.
How It Works
The underlying mechanics are straightforward regardless of which tool you use. A batch converter takes a set of input files, applies the same conversion settings to all of them, and outputs the results in the target format. Most tools allow you to specify parameters like output quality, resolution, codec, and naming conventions once, and those settings are applied uniformly to every file in the batch.
At the software level, batch conversion is usually implemented as a loop: the tool opens each source file, decodes it, re-encodes it in the target format with your chosen settings, and writes the output file. The efficiency gain comes from eliminating the human bottleneck — the tool can start processing the next file the instant the previous one finishes, without waiting for you to click anything.
Common Use Cases
Batch conversion shows up in virtually every industry and workflow where digital files are involved:
- Photography: Converting hundreds of HEIC or RAW images to JPG or WebP for web galleries, client delivery, or print labs
- Video production: Transcoding rushes from MOV or MKV to MP4 for editing, review, or distribution
- Podcasting and audio: Converting FLAC or WAV masters to MP3 or AAC for distribution across podcast platforms
- Office and legal: Converting batches of PDF documents to Word for editing, or Word documents to PDF for distribution
- Web development: Converting PNG and JPG image assets to WebP or AVIF for website optimization
- Archival and migration: Converting legacy formats to modern ones during system migrations or digital preservation projects
If you have ever spent more than 10 minutes converting files one at a time, batch conversion will change your workflow for the better.
Method 1: Online Batch Converters
The fastest way to batch convert files without installing any software is to use a browser-based converter. ConvertIntoMP4 supports bulk uploads across all major file types — images, video, audio, and documents — and processes them directly in your browser or on its servers.
Batch Converting Files with ConvertIntoMP4
The process is nearly identical regardless of which file type you are working with:
Step 1 — Choose the right converter. Navigate to the converter that matches your file type:
- For images: image converter
- For video: video converter
- For audio: audio converter
- For documents: document converter
Step 2 — Upload your files in bulk. Click the upload area or drag and drop multiple files at once. Most modern browsers support selecting multiple files from your file picker — hold Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac) while clicking to select several files, or Ctrl+A / Command+A to select all files in a folder.
Step 3 — Select your target format. Choose the output format from the dropdown. The converter remembers your selection across all files in the batch, so you only need to set it once.
Step 4 — Adjust settings if needed. For most conversions, the default settings produce excellent results. If you need to tweak quality, resolution, or codec settings, adjust them before clicking convert — the same settings apply to every file in the batch.
Step 5 — Convert and download. Click convert and let the tool process your files. Once complete, download individual files or grab everything as a ZIP archive.
When to Use Online Batch Conversion
Online converters are ideal when you need to process a moderate number of files (up to about 50–100) without installing anything. They work on any device — including Chromebooks, tablets, and phones — and require zero technical knowledge. The tradeoff is that very large batches (500+ files) or very large individual files (multi-gigabyte videos) may be better suited to a local tool that does not depend on upload and download speeds.
Pro Tip: If you regularly convert the same type of files, bookmark the specific converter page. For example, if you frequently convert iPhone photos, bookmarking the HEIC to JPG conversion guide gives you a one-click path to both the conversion tool and detailed instructions for your exact use case.

Method 2: Command-Line Tools
For large-volume batch conversion, scripting, and automation, command-line tools are unmatched. They can process thousands of files unattended, integrate into automated pipelines, and give you granular control over every conversion parameter. The three workhorses are FFmpeg for video and audio, ImageMagick for images, and LibreOffice for documents.
FFmpeg for Video and Audio Batch Conversion
FFmpeg is the industry-standard tool for video and audio processing. It powers most video software on the planet and can convert virtually any media format to any other format. If you are working with video or audio files at any scale, FFmpeg is worth learning.
Installation:
# macOS (via Homebrew)
brew install ffmpeg
# Ubuntu/Debian
sudo apt install ffmpeg
# Windows (via Chocolatey)
choco install ffmpeg
Batch convert all MOV files to MP4:
for f in *.mov; do
ffmpeg -i "$f" -c:v libx264 -crf 23 -preset medium -c:a aac -b:a 128k "${f%.mov}.mp4"
done
Batch convert all FLAC files to MP3:
for f in *.flac; do
ffmpeg -i "$f" -codec:a libmp3lame -qscale:a 2 "${f%.flac}.mp3"
done
Batch convert all WAV files to AAC:
for f in *.wav; do
ffmpeg -i "$f" -c:a aac -b:a 192k "${f%.wav}.m4a"
done
Batch compress all MP4 files in a directory:
mkdir -p compressed
for f in *.mp4; do
ffmpeg -i "$f" -c:v libx264 -crf 28 -preset slow -c:a aac -b:a 128k "compressed/$f"
done
The -crf flag controls quality (lower is better, 18 is near-lossless, 28 is aggressively compressed), and -preset controls encoding speed versus compression efficiency. For a deeper dive into video compression settings, the guide on how to compress video online covers bitrate, resolution, and codec choices in detail.
ImageMagick for Image Batch Conversion
ImageMagick is the Swiss-army knife of image processing. It supports over 200 image formats and can convert, resize, compress, and transform images in bulk with a single command.
Installation:
# macOS
brew install imagemagick
# Ubuntu/Debian
sudo apt install imagemagick
# Windows (via Chocolatey)
choco install imagemagick
Batch convert PNG to WebP:
mogrify -format webp -quality 80 *.png
Batch convert HEIC to JPG with quality control:
mogrify -format jpg -quality 90 *.heic
Batch convert and resize images to a maximum width of 1920px:
mogrify -format webp -quality 80 -resize 1920x1920\> *.jpg
Output converted files to a separate directory (preserving originals):
mkdir -p converted
mogrify -format webp -quality 80 -path converted *.png
The mogrify command is ImageMagick's batch processing tool — it applies the same operation to every file matching the pattern. The \> flag after the resize dimensions means "only shrink, never enlarge," which prevents small images from being unnecessarily upscaled.
For web developers optimizing site assets, combining ImageMagick batch conversion with the techniques in our website image optimization guide produces dramatic page speed improvements.
LibreOffice for Document Batch Conversion
LibreOffice is the best free tool for batch converting documents — PDF to Word, Word to PDF, spreadsheets, presentations, and more. Its headless mode lets you run conversions from the command line without opening a GUI.
Installation:
# macOS
brew install --cask libreoffice
# Ubuntu/Debian
sudo apt install libreoffice
# Windows
# Download from libreoffice.org
Batch convert all DOCX files to PDF:
libreoffice --headless --convert-to pdf *.docx
Batch convert all PDF files to DOCX:
libreoffice --headless --convert-to docx *.pdf
Batch convert all XLSX files to CSV:
libreoffice --headless --convert-to csv *.xlsx
Convert to a specific output directory:
libreoffice --headless --convert-to pdf --outdir /path/to/output *.docx
LibreOffice's PDF-to-Word conversion is surprisingly capable for a free tool. For a detailed comparison of conversion quality and tips for preserving formatting, the PDF to Word conversion guide covers every edge case.
Command-Line Tools Reference Table
| Tool | File Types | Key Commands | Parallel Processing | Platform |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FFmpeg | Video, audio | ffmpeg -i input output | Via xargs or parallel | Windows, Mac, Linux |
| ImageMagick | Images (200+ formats) | mogrify -format, convert | Built-in (via mogrify) | Windows, Mac, Linux |
| LibreOffice | Documents, spreadsheets, presentations | --headless --convert-to | Via scripting | Windows, Mac, Linux |
| cwebp | Images to WebP | cwebp input -o output | Via xargs or parallel | Windows, Mac, Linux |
| sips (Mac only) | Images | sips -s format | Via shell loop | Mac only |
| Pandoc | Markdown, EPUB, HTML, DOCX, PDF | pandoc input -o output | Via scripting | Windows, Mac, Linux |
Method 3: Desktop Software
If you prefer a graphical interface but need more power than an online tool offers, desktop batch conversion software is the middle ground. These applications let you queue up hundreds of files, configure output settings visually, and process everything locally without uploading anything.
HandBrake (Video)
HandBrake is the best free desktop tool for batch video conversion. Its queue system lets you add multiple files, configure each one individually or apply the same settings to all, and process the entire batch sequentially. Open HandBrake, click "Open Source" to add a file, configure your settings (the "Fast 1080p30" preset is excellent for most purposes), click "Add to Queue," and repeat. When your queue is full, click "Start Queue" and walk away.
XnConvert (Images)
XnConvert is a free, cross-platform batch image converter that supports over 500 image formats. It has a clean drag-and-drop interface, lets you apply actions like resize, crop, rotate, and watermark in addition to format conversion, and can process thousands of images in a single batch. It is particularly useful for photographers who need to prepare large image sets for web delivery or client galleries.
Adobe Acrobat Pro (Documents)
For professional document conversion — especially PDF to Word with complex formatting — Adobe Acrobat Pro's batch processing feature (called "Action Wizard") is the gold standard. It handles tables, columns, embedded images, and footnotes better than any other tool. The tradeoff is cost: Acrobat Pro requires a Creative Cloud subscription. For free alternatives, LibreOffice's command-line conversion handles simpler documents well.
Batch Converting by File Type
Different file types have different conversion needs, tools, and gotchas. Here is a practical breakdown organized by the four main categories.
Batch Converting Images
Image batch conversion is the most common use case, and fortunately, it is also the easiest. The most frequent conversions are:
- HEIC to JPG — The classic iPhone-to-everything-else conversion. Use the online image converter, ImageMagick (
mogrify -format jpg *.heic), or the Macsipscommand. The HEIC to JPG guide covers every method in detail. - PNG to WebP — Essential for web optimization. Converting your site's PNG assets to WebP can reduce image weight by 25–40% with no visible quality loss. ImageMagick handles this efficiently:
mogrify -format webp -quality 80 *.png. - JPG to WebP — Same story as PNG to WebP, but for photographs. WebP's lossy compression is more efficient than JPEG's, so you get smaller files at equivalent visual quality.
- RAW to JPG — Converting camera RAW files (CR2, NEF, ARW, DNG) to JPG for sharing. Tools like
dcrawor Adobe Lightroom's export feature handle this in bulk. - TIFF to PNG or JPG — Common in print-to-web workflows where high-resolution TIFF files need to be converted to web-friendly formats.
For a thorough comparison of image formats and when to use each, the image optimization guide covers format selection, compression settings, and delivery best practices.
Batch Converting Videos
Video batch conversion takes longer per file because video files are larger and transcoding is computationally intensive. Plan accordingly — a batch of 50 videos might take an hour or more, even on a fast machine.
- MOV to MP4 — The most common video batch conversion. MOV is Apple's QuickTime format; MP4 is universal. FFmpeg handles this cleanly:
for f in *.mov; do ffmpeg -i "$f" -c:v libx264 -crf 23 -c:a aac "${f%.mov}.mp4"; done. - MKV to MP4 — Common when preparing files for devices that do not support MKV containers. Often a simple remux (container change without re-encoding) is sufficient:
ffmpeg -i input.mkv -c copy output.mp4. - Batch compress multiple videos — Reduce file sizes across an entire video library. The video compression guide explains which settings to use for different quality targets.
- AVI to MP4 — Legacy format conversion. AVI files from older cameras and software are often massive and use outdated codecs. Converting to MP4 with H.264 dramatically reduces file size.
Use the video converter for quick batches without installing anything, or FFmpeg for large-scale processing.
Batch Converting Audio
Audio batch conversion is the fastest of the four categories because audio files are relatively small and encoding is computationally lightweight.
- FLAC to MP3 — Converting lossless audio to a compressed format for portable devices, streaming uploads, or general distribution. FFmpeg:
for f in *.flac; do ffmpeg -i "$f" -codec:a libmp3lame -qscale:a 2 "${f%.flac}.mp3"; done. - WAV to AAC — WAV files from recording sessions are enormous. Converting to AAC preserves quality while dramatically reducing file size. AAC at 192 kbps is virtually indistinguishable from the WAV original for most listeners.
- WAV to MP3 — Similar to WAV to AAC, but MP3 offers broader compatibility with older devices and software.
- M4A to MP3 — Common when converting Apple Music or Voice Memo files for use on non-Apple devices.
The audio converter handles all of these conversions in bulk through the browser.
Batch Converting Documents
Document batch conversion requires more care than media files because formatting fidelity matters. A video that is slightly re-encoded still looks like the same video; a PDF that converts to Word with broken tables and scrambled columns is potentially unusable.
- PDF to Word (DOCX) — The most requested document conversion. LibreOffice's headless mode handles simple PDFs well. For complex documents with tables, columns, and embedded images, Adobe Acrobat Pro or a dedicated online tool produces better results. The PDF to Word guide covers formatting preservation in depth.
- Word to PDF — Batch exporting Word documents to PDF for distribution. LibreOffice excels here:
libreoffice --headless --convert-to pdf *.docx. - EPUB to PDF — Converting ebooks for printing or archival. Calibre's command-line tool (
ebook-convert) handles this well. - HTML to PDF — Converting web pages or HTML reports to PDF. Tools like
wkhtmltopdfor Puppeteer can batch process entire directories of HTML files.
Use the document converter for quick browser-based batch conversions without installing specialized software.
Automation Tips: Set It and Forget It
Once you are comfortable with batch conversion, the next level is automation — setting up workflows that convert files without any manual intervention at all. Here are three approaches, from simplest to most powerful.
Watched Folders
A watched folder is a directory on your computer that automatically triggers a conversion whenever a new file is added to it. This is perfect for workflows where files arrive continuously — for example, photos being imported from a camera, video files being dropped by a recording application, or documents being saved from a scanner.
On Mac, use Automator Folder Actions:
- Open Automator and create a new Folder Action
- Set the folder to watch (for example, a "To Convert" folder on your Desktop)
- Add the conversion action (such as "Change Type of Images" for image conversion)
- Save the workflow
Now, any file dropped into that folder is automatically converted. No clicking, no waiting, no thinking about it.
On Windows, use PowerShell with FileSystemWatcher:
$watcher = New-Object System.IO.FileSystemWatcher
$watcher.Path = "C:\Users\YourName\ToConvert"
$watcher.Filter = "*.mov"
$watcher.EnableRaisingEvents = $true
Register-ObjectEvent $watcher "Created" -Action {
$path = $Event.SourceEventArgs.FullPath
$output = $path -replace '\.mov$', '.mp4'
ffmpeg -i $path -c:v libx264 -crf 23 -c:a aac $output
}
Shell Scripts for Recurring Batches
If you regularly convert the same types of files, wrapping your conversion commands in a shell script saves you from retyping them every time.
Example: A universal media conversion script (save as batch-convert.sh):
#!/bin/bash
# Batch convert all media files in the current directory
# Convert all MOV to MP4
for f in *.mov *.MOV; do
[ -f "$f" ] || continue
ffmpeg -i "$f" -c:v libx264 -crf 23 -preset medium -c:a aac -b:a 128k "${f%.*}.mp4"
done
# Convert all HEIC to JPG
for f in *.heic *.HEIC; do
[ -f "$f" ] || continue
mogrify -format jpg -quality 90 "$f"
done
# Convert all FLAC to MP3
for f in *.flac *.FLAC; do
[ -f "$f" ] || continue
ffmpeg -i "$f" -codec:a libmp3lame -qscale:a 2 "${f%.*}.mp3"
done
echo "Batch conversion complete."
Make it executable with chmod +x batch-convert.sh and run it in any directory containing files you want to convert.
Scheduled Conversions with Cron or Task Scheduler
For fully hands-off automation, schedule your conversion scripts to run at specific times. This is ideal for overnight processing of large file collections.
On Mac/Linux, use cron:
# Run batch conversion every night at 2 AM
0 2 * * * /path/to/batch-convert.sh /path/to/incoming/files
On Windows, use Task Scheduler:
- Open Task Scheduler and create a new task
- Set the trigger to your preferred schedule (daily, weekly, etc.)
- Set the action to run your PowerShell or batch conversion script
- Configure it to run whether or not you are logged in
Scheduled conversions are particularly powerful when combined with watched folders or cloud sync. For example, you could sync a Dropbox folder to your computer, have a cron job process any new files that appear each night, and place the converted files in a separate output folder that syncs back to the cloud.
Quality Control: Verifying Your Batch Output
Batch conversion saves enormous time, but it also means any mistake in your settings gets replicated across every file in the batch. A wrong quality setting applied to 500 files is 500 files that need to be redone. Taking a few minutes to verify your output before deleting originals is always worth it.
Spot-Check Before Committing
Before running a batch conversion on your full file set, test your settings on 3–5 representative files first. Choose files that represent the range of your content — one simple file, one complex file, one large file, one small file. Convert these test files, inspect the results carefully, and only then run the full batch. This two-minute test can save hours of rework.
Verify File Integrity
After a batch conversion completes, verify that every output file is valid and complete:
- Check file count: Does the number of output files match the number of input files? A mismatch means some files failed to convert.
- Check file sizes: Sort output files by size and look for anomalies. A file that is dramatically smaller than its peers may have failed partway through conversion. A file that is 0 bytes definitely failed.
- Spot-check quality: Open a random selection of output files and verify that they look, sound, or read correctly. For images, check for artifacts, color shifts, and resolution. For video, check that audio is in sync and motion is smooth. For documents, check that formatting, tables, and images survived the conversion.
Handle Errors Gracefully
In any large batch, some files will inevitably fail. Common causes include corrupted source files, unsupported codec variants, files that are too large for available memory, and permission errors. A well-designed batch workflow handles these failures without stopping the entire batch.
In FFmpeg and ImageMagick, failed conversions typically print an error message and move on to the next file. Redirect error output to a log file so you can review failures after the batch completes:
for f in *.mov; do
ffmpeg -i "$f" -c:v libx264 -crf 23 -c:a aac "${f%.mov}.mp4" 2>> conversion_errors.log
done
After the batch finishes, review conversion_errors.log to identify which files need attention and why they failed.
Keep Your Originals
Never delete your source files until you have verified the batch output. Storage is cheap; redoing a conversion from scratch because you prematurely deleted the originals is not. A good practice is to move originals to an "Archive" folder after successful conversion, and only delete them after a reasonable holding period — a week or a month, depending on how critical the files are.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many files can I batch convert at once?
The limit depends on your method. Online converters like ConvertIntoMP4 handle up to about 50–100 files per batch comfortably, depending on file size. Command-line tools like FFmpeg and ImageMagick have no practical upper limit — they can process tens of thousands of files in a single script, limited only by your available disk space and patience. Desktop software like HandBrake and XnConvert typically handle hundreds to low thousands of files in a single queue. For extremely large batches (10,000+ files), command-line tools with parallelization are the only realistic option.
Does batch conversion affect quality compared to converting one file at a time?
No. Batch conversion applies the exact same conversion process to each file — the only difference is that it automates the repetition. A file converted as part of a 500-file batch is identical in quality to the same file converted individually with the same settings. The codec, quality settings, resolution, and every other parameter work the same way regardless of whether you are processing one file or one thousand. The quality of your output depends entirely on the settings you choose, not on whether you process files in bulk.
What is the fastest way to batch convert images for a website?
For web optimization, the fastest path is to use ImageMagick to convert your images to WebP format in bulk: mogrify -format webp -quality 80 -resize 1920x1920\> *.jpg. This single command converts every JPG in the directory to WebP, compresses at quality 80 (which is visually transparent for most content), and ensures no image exceeds 1920 pixels in either dimension. For a complete website optimization workflow, the image optimization guide covers format selection, lazy loading, responsive images, and CDN configuration beyond just the conversion step.
Can I batch convert files on my phone or tablet?
Yes, but with limitations. The image converter, video converter, and audio converter all work in mobile browsers and accept multiple file uploads. For iOS, you can select multiple photos from your camera roll when uploading. For Android, the file picker lets you select multiple files from any folder. The main limitation on mobile is processing power and memory — converting 10–20 files is smooth, but batches of 100+ files may be slow or cause the browser tab to run out of memory. For large batches on mobile, it is better to sync your files to a computer and use a desktop or command-line tool.
How do I batch convert videos without losing quality?
The key to preserving quality during batch video conversion is to use appropriate codec settings and avoid unnecessary re-encoding. If you are only changing the container format (for example, MKV to MP4) and both the source and target support the same codecs, use stream copying instead of re-encoding: ffmpeg -i input.mkv -c copy output.mp4. This copies the video and audio streams without decoding and re-encoding them, resulting in zero quality loss and near-instant conversion. If you must re-encode (because you are changing the codec), use a low CRF value (18–20 for H.264) and a slow preset for the best quality-to-size ratio.
What happens if some files fail during a batch conversion?
In most tools, a failed file does not stop the entire batch. FFmpeg, ImageMagick, and LibreOffice will print an error for the failed file and continue processing the rest of the batch. Online converters typically flag individual failures and let you download the files that succeeded. The best practice is to redirect error output to a log file (as shown in the Quality Control section above), review failures after the batch completes, and re-run only the failed files after fixing the underlying issue — whether that is a corrupted source file, an unsupported format variant, or insufficient disk space.
Is batch conversion safe? Will it overwrite my original files?
This depends on the tool and how you configure it. Most tools default to creating new output files alongside the originals rather than overwriting them. However, ImageMagick's mogrify command is a notable exception — when converting to the same format (for example, resizing JPGs), it overwrites the originals by default. When converting to a different format, mogrify creates new files with the new extension and leaves the originals intact. To be safe, always use the -path flag to direct output to a separate folder: mogrify -format webp -quality 80 -path /output/folder *.png. For FFmpeg, your output filename is always explicitly specified, so there is no risk of accidental overwriting unless you name the output the same as the input. Regardless of the tool, the golden rule is: keep your originals until you have verified the output.
Conclusion
Batch file conversion is one of those skills that pays for itself the very first time you use it. Whether you are processing 20 photos or 2,000 videos, the time savings compared to manual one-by-one conversion are dramatic — often measured in hours rather than minutes.
To recap the best approach for each scenario:
- For quick batches under 100 files with no software to install, use the online converters at ConvertIntoMP4 — the image converter, video converter, audio converter, and document converter all support bulk uploads and handle the most common format conversions
- For large-volume processing and scripted automation, use FFmpeg (video and audio), ImageMagick (images), or LibreOffice (documents) from the command line
- For regular workflow integration with a visual interface, desktop tools like HandBrake, XnConvert, or Adobe Acrobat Pro let you queue and process files with granular control
- For fully automated, hands-off conversion, combine watched folders, shell scripts, and scheduled tasks to build pipelines that process files without any human intervention
The right method depends on your volume, your technical comfort, and how often you need to do it. Start with the online converter for your first batch — it takes under a minute to go from "I have 50 files in the wrong format" to "I have 50 files ready to use." If batch conversion becomes a regular part of your workflow, invest the 15 minutes it takes to learn the command-line tools — the return on that investment compounds every time you use them.
