I finally found a way to convert files offline, and it’s surprisingly easy

If you’ve ever had to change a file from one format to another, you probably know the drill: type “convert [file type] to [file type]” into Google, click the first sketchy-looking site, and hope it doesn’t spam you with pop-ups. Sometimes it works; sometimes it doesn’t. And then there are the annoying roadblocks, such as your file being too big, or the site wants your email before it’ll even touch the file. To make matters worse, the FBI recently dropped a pretty stark warning about these free conversion sites, pointing out that some of them can sneak in malware or quietly siphon off your data.
