flipfile is a tiny drag-and-drop file converter that lives on your desktop. Drop a file on it, point to a format, let go. Everything runs on your computer: no uploads, no accounts, no internet needed.

What's new in 0.1.2

  • New logo: two nested "f" strokes in a clean monochrome style.
  • The app icon follows your system theme: light by default, dark in dark mode.
  • New menu bar icon on macOS.
  • First Windows and Linux builds.

Download

Your computer Download
Mac with Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4) flipfile_0.1.2_aarch64.dmg
Mac with Intel flipfile_0.1.2_x64.dmg
Windows 10 / 11 flipfile_0.1.2_x64-setup.exe (or the .msi)
Linux, Debian / Ubuntu flipfile_0.1.2_amd64.deb
Linux, Fedora / openSUSE flipfile-0.1.2-1.x86_64.rpm
Any Linux flipfile_0.1.2_amd64.AppImage

Not sure which Mac you have? Open the Apple menu, choose About This Mac and look at Chip (Apple M…) or Processor (Intel).

The two .app.tar.gz files are plain archives of the Mac app made by the build. You don't need them, use the .dmg.

Install

macOS

  1. Open the .dmg and drag flipfile into Applications.
  2. Open flipfile. The first time, macOS says it can't verify the developer, because flipfile isn't notarized by Apple yet. Click Done.
  3. Go to System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down and click Open Anyway next to flipfile. You only need to do this once.

Windows

  1. Run flipfile_0.1.2_x64-setup.exe.
  2. If Windows shows "Windows protected your PC", click More info → Run anyway. The app isn't code-signed yet, which is why SmartScreen asks.

Linux

  • .deb: sudo apt install ./flipfile_0.1.2_amd64.deb
  • .rpm: sudo dnf install ./flipfile-0.1.2-1.x86_64.rpm
  • AppImage: chmod +x flipfile_0.1.2_amd64.AppImage, then run it.

How to use

  1. Drag any file onto the flipfile circle. A ring of formats opens around it.
  2. Point to the format you want: JPG, PNG, WEBP, PDF, WORD, and more under More.
  3. Let go. The converted file is saved right next to the original. Click the circle to show it.

Handy extras:

  • Several files at once: drop a whole batch. Several images on PDF merge into one PDF.
  • Resize or compress: hold ⌥ Option (macOS) or Alt (Windows) while dragging to pick 4K, 1080p, 720p, 50% or Compress.
  • Scans and photos to Word: More → WORD OCR reads the text with your system's built-in text recognition (macOS and Windows).
  • Paste: copy an image or files, click flipfile, press ⌘V / Ctrl+V, then click a format.
  • Menu bar / tray: recent conversions and undo. Press ⌘⇧K (macOS) or Ctrl+Shift+K (Windows/Linux) anywhere to show or hide flipfile.

Good to know

  • Text recognition (WORD OCR) isn't available on Linux yet. flipfile tells you when that's the case.
  • Windows and Linux builds are new. If something doesn't work, please open an issue with your OS version and the file type you tried.
