FFmpeg UI launched on June 15, 2023 with 40 votes, #1,493 of 4,655 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 3 years on.

In plain words

FFmpeg UI is a desktop application that provides a graphical interface for converting media files using FFmpeg. It simplifies the process of transcoding audio and video by allowing users to access FFmpeg's powerful conversion capabilities without using command-line tools. The software is designed for anyone who needs to convert media formats quickly, from casual users to those working with multiple files. It launched in June 2023.

    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.

Doing a (very) soft launch today, mainly because I want to use it to encourage discussion of alternatives. How non.io works: 1. Free to browse, paid to interact. 2. Minimum subscription is $2 (though you can choose more). I take $1 to run the servers, everything left gets split evenly between everything you upvote that month. It's a simple model, but I hope it's a better one than the freemium model we've been relying on for the last few years. Fundamentally I feel like any ad-supported…
