Hardware-accelerated file conversion for converter.kaimdt.dev. GPU encoding & native FFmpeg support for maximum performance. kaimdt Converter – Enhanced Companion extension for https://converter.kaimdt.dev. This tool bridges the gap between browser-based file conversion and native system performance. What it does: This extension connects the kaimdt Converter web app with your system's native FFmpeg installation. This enables high-performance hardware encoding via GPU-based engines like NVENC, QuickSync, AMF, or VideoToolbox — capabilities that standard browsers cannot access on their own. Why install it? Performance: Up to 10× faster video conversions by utilizing your GPU instead of browser-based processing (WASM), depending on your hardware. Privacy: All conversions happen directly on your machine — no files are ever uploaded to a server. Flexibility: Works as an optional enhancement. The web app can still fall back to in-browser conversion if the extension is not present. Transparency: Zero telemetry, zero tracking, and fully functional offline after the initial setup. How it works: 1. Install this extension. 2. Setup Native Bridge: To enable GPU features, a one-time setup of the open-source Native Messaging Host is required. Detailed instructions and the source code are available on our official setup page. 3. Open converter.kaimdt.dev — the extension is detected automatically. 4. Select "HW Bridge" as your conversion engine to activate hardware acceleration. Technical Capabilities: By leveraging a native FFmpeg environment, the extension supports a vast array of modern media containers and high-quality audio codecs. It ensures efficient processing for high-resolution files and professional-grade encoding without the limitations of a web sandbox. Privacy Policy: Data sovereignty is a core principle. All processing happens locally on your device. The extension does not collect, transmit, or store any personal data. There are no analytics, no telemetry, and no remote code execution.
