24 alternatives to Expi
Hey folks! For starter, I'm a 17+ senior cinematic designer (damn I'm getting old haha) and this tool is a culmination of many years of frustration or missing features or absolutely terrible UI/UX from other tools. So, I'm surmounting my anxiety of showing personal work and passion project, even after all these years, I'm still struggling on showing my work haha. It's been roughly two years now that I've been hard at work on creating my perfect little export/converting tool that I wish I had in my pocket for all my exporting needs. I've built https://getexpi.app ! It's…

Hi, I'm a developer and first time i shipped the real product after observing the startups and indie hackers community for years. I had made so many useless apps [you should check my website https://ansh.life], but this time I built a very useful product that has a number of super easy-to-use tools in one app for video, music, and photo files. Users can compress, convert, resize, and do so much more with easy-to-use tools. Background: I developed a frame-by-frame video cropper to upload cropped landscape videos to Instagram Reels. However, it required FFmpeg, and as a noob video…

I built a CLI tool that lets you do common video/audio operations without remembering ffmpeg syntax. Instead of: ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -vf "fps=15,scale=480:-1:flags=lanczos" -loop 0 output.gif You write: ff convert video.mp4 to gif More examples: ff compress video.mp4 to 10mb ff trim video.mp4 from 0:30 to 1:00 ff extract audio from video.mp4 ff resize video.mp4 to 720p ff speed up video.mp4 by 2x ff reverse video.mp4 There are similar tools that use LLMs (wtffmpeg, llmpeg, ai-ffmpeg-cli), but they require API keys, cost money, and have latency. Ez FFmpeg is different: - No AI – just…

Hey HN, just wanted to share my success story with CompressX, my FFmpeg wrapper for macOS. For those who may not be familiar, FFmpeg is a powerful tool for converting, streaming, and recording audio and video content. I started CompressX as a weekend project to serve my 9-5 jobs, primarily to compress demo videos for uploading to GitLab and sharing with my colleagues. It took me 2 weeks to make the first working version. I shared the demo on Twitter and the reaction was extraordinary. People loved it, they said that I was bringing the Pied Piper to life. Four months later, I hit the $9,000…

I've been building open-source tools in the video/multimedia space for 10+ years. Finally shipped the commercial product I always wanted to exist — Video Commander, a desktop app that consolidates FFmpeg, ffprobe, MediaInfo, VMAF and more into a single workspace where you can inspect, encode and analyze video. Built with Tauri + Rust backend, React frontend. FFmpeg and VMAF. Not a cool AI/LLM project, just a tool I've been heads-down building over the last six months. Happy to answer any questions!

You ever just want to shrink a video… and suddenly you’re buried in flags, half-broken StackOverflow answers, and 10 tabs open just to figure out one command? That’s been me. Every. Single. Time. So I built FFmpeg Pages — a dead-simple collection of the commands I kept searching for. No fluff, no digging, just the stuff that actually works.

My goal is to create a free media downloader that doesn't bother you. friendly, efficient, and has no paywalls or anything like that. I've been working on that for the last 3 weeks or so, it's not perfect yet, but it works, and I'm really excited to share it.

I got sick of sketchy online converter sites that phone home and may keep your files and walking non-technical friends through brew/apt/choco installs every time they need ffmpeg or imagemagick and telling them what command to run. So I built Toolbox, a 100% open source site that compiles my most-used command-line tools to WebAssembly and runs them fully client-side: - FFmpeg (video + audio) - ExifTool (metadata) - 7-Zip (archive/zip/rar/7z) - ImageMagick - Pandoc Roadmap: - Batch mode - Shareable presets. Complex commands can be saved as URLs so you can send a…
