Files conversions with Right-Click Menu Integration in Power Toys #31472

Closed sudoevans closed 2 months ago

sudoevans commented 4 months ago

Description of the new feature / enhancement

I've been enjoying Power Toys since its first release (especially the WIN+SHIT+T), and I have to say, I'm impressed by the team and community effort behind this tool.

I wanted to suggest a feature that I think could be helpful for me and other users.

This feature would integrate a quick file conversion tool directly into the Windows right-click context menu through PowerToys.

With Power Convert(suggesting a name already if it's ok), users could easily convert common file formats without needing to open separate programs or go through complicated menus. I believe this would make the file conversion process much faster and easier for a lot of people.

If you think this is helpful and possible to be implemented, please upvoteπŸš€

Scenario when this would be used?

πŸš€ A designer quickly converts an image from PNG to JPEG for web optimization. πŸš€ A student converting a docx to pdf for reading. πŸš€ A developer instantly changes a text file to PDF for sharing documentation. πŸš€ A student effortlessly converts a presentation from PPT to ODP for compatibility. πŸš€ A user seamlessly switches between ebook formats (e.g., EPUB to MOBI) on the fly.

Supporting information

I found this tool called Neowin and that is exactly what I am thinking about: I hope this gives you the exact Idea.

Please Upvote with any of these reactions (πŸ‘πŸ’―πŸ˜ŠπŸš€) as suggested.

Thank you!

Here is how it works. (Image from their site, neowin.net: file-converter-usage
