I guess a website has better usability.
Telegram bot will be better for me(I guess for others as well) while using a mobile device.

Have you considered creating an adaptive and lightweight webpage (without JavaScript, fonts and large images, just a form with file field on one page and a form with radio buttons to select the target format and settings on another one)?
@KOLANICH we can make a pwa as well but I still love telegram bots. What about a free webapi which does all conversions and then whosoever wishes can make a pwa, or a native app or a telegram bot or anything based on the api? I dont know whether there are free apis.
There aren't, because converting file formats requires some processing power. And also need to monitor servers closely due to security concerns.

What about a free webapi
The API is IMHO a mandatory part of any web service. But I insist on a JSless website.

I have a different idea, how about an in browser universal converter
U mean using webassembly? Like squoosh.app does image conversions and optimisation. IMO that would be great. And that can be cross platform and also work as a pwa on mobioe devices

Do you really think webassembly will be closs platform though
Why wouldn't it be @Kreijstal? https://caniuse.com/#feat=wasm
When it comes to PDF files, I haven’t found a tool that matches PDF Shelter. It can convert JPGs to PDFs and vice versa, delete pages from a PDF file, and merge or split PDFs, all within the browser. I can’t find its source code, but since it runs client side, users can use it without an Internet connection, and it would work equally well. The downsides to such a tool are on display when the user has a slow-performing computer.

it wasnt 3 years ago, but it is now.
Heh, indeed @Kreijstal
I recently started such project and dedicated part of my free time to it. I used purely Rust and used Yew for the frontend. It is minimalistic, does not support conversion configuration yet, and need better organization but "it works". You can check the demo here.
I also started working on something similar here. It's supposed to be a set of browser native utilities for many different types of conversions (images, video, audio, data, text, etc). It uses web assembly (image magick, ffmpeg, etc) for performing conversions.
You can check out the live site here: snackbag.dev
Project description
If we have to do file conversions whatever they are - from .pdf to .doc or .mp4 to .ogg or .jpeg to .png - we have to use an online website or a mobile application. but I think it would be better if we had a file converter which did all the processing on frontend(no request to backend api) using wasm like https://squoosh.app works. that can also be made to work as a pwa on mobile phones.
