📖 Usage

Main Window

After launching you are greeted with the Wormhole logo and seven large category buttons:

Docs • Presentations • Images • Archive • Spreadsheets • 3D Models • Media

Click any category to open its dedicated converter.

Common Workflow (all categories)

  1. Click Select File → choose your source file
  2. Pick the desired target format from the dropdown
  3. Click Convert
  4. Done – the converted file appears next to the original (same name, new extension)

A smooth indeterminate/determinate progress bar shows conversion status.

📄 Docs Converter

Supported formats: TXT, PDF, DOCX, HTML, MD, ODT, RTF (if Pandoc or striprtf available)
→ TXT, DOCX, HTML, MD, ODT, RTF (Pandoc required for RTF output)

Tip: The installer sets up Pandoc automatically for perfect formatting (tables, styles, etc.).

📽️ Presentations Converter

Supported: PPTX, ODP
→ PDF, TXT, DOCX, PPTX, ODP

Great for quickly exporting slides to PDF or extracting all text.

🖼️ Images Converter

All common formats supported in both directions.

Special ICO handling: when target is ICO you can select multiple sizes (16×16 to 256×256) – perfect for favicons and Windows icons.

📦 Archive Converter

Convert any supported archive to any other by full extraction + re-compression. All files and folder structure preserved.

📊 Spreadsheets Converter

XLSX ↔ CSV ↔ ODS – full cell data preserved (formulas become static values).

🧊 3D Model Converter

trimesh is bundled – simply load any supported mesh format and export to any other. Extremely fast and reliable.

🎵 Media Converter

FFmpeg auto-installed via the setup (if Chocolatey available).

After selecting a file the format list automatically adjusts:

  • Audio file → only audio targets
  • Video file → video targets + audio targets marked “(extract audio)”

When you choose an audio format from a video source, Wormhole will:

  1. Extract the audio to your chosen format
  2. Also create a muted version of the original video (same name + “_no_audio”)

Perfect for quickly pulling soundtracks or creating silent clips.

Progress bar is determinate (real percentage) when FFmpeg can read duration.
