Windows-first offline media processing built for fast right-click workflows.

FFmpeg and FFprobe powered. Local only. Lightweight WinForms UI. Clean output handling.

Overview

FrameShift is a desktop utility for fast video, audio, image, and AI-assisted media tasks on Windows.
Its main goal is simple: let you launch useful actions directly from Explorer context menus, make the right adjustments quickly, and save the result next to the source file with safe unique naming.

Remove backgrounds, remove objects from images, remove noise, and separate audio locally with focused AI workflows launched directly from Explorer. RIFE interpolation is also available as a dedicated local AI workflow for smoother motion on supported video clips.

Build image-based PDF documents with a visual layout workflow designed for quick adjustments.

Crop images and videos with a dedicated visual editor that now supports automatic border detection, mouse-wheel zoom, and drag navigation for tighter framing with less manual work.

Why FrameShift

• Right-click driven workflow for everyday media tasks
• Offline processing with local tools only
• No overwrite behavior, outputs stay next to source files
• FFmpeg and FFprobe at the core
• Focused WinForms interface built for speed and clarity
• Clean cancellation and practical batch-friendly flows

Quick Workflow

1. Right-click a file in Explorer.
2. Choose a FrameShift action from the context menu.
3. Adjust only the settings you need.
4. Start processing and get a clean output beside the original file.
