WebConvert is my web-based, local, online file converter app. It runs FFmpeg in your browser to convert media files.
It uses the awesome v86 to run an Alpine Linux VM, customized with FFmpeg pre-installed, and sends your files to the VM for processing, and downloads them.
This is also my first React-based project. I used MUI for the UI, and FontAwesome for icons.
I coded this in 2 days with Cursor – which you should absolutely try if you have an interest in programming with AI. You need to know basic knowledge of your frameworks that you use, and Cursor helps with the rest.

I will also publish the source code for it soon, for anyone interested in building something similar or learning v86.
