Frame is a desktop media conversion utility that provides a native graphical interface for FFmpeg.
It handles video, audio, and image conversion, and gives users fine-grained control over output settings including codecs, bitrate or CRF, resolution, framerate, audio options, and output formats. The application uses a Rust backend for task execution and monitoring, with a Svelte-based frontend for configuration and real-time status updates.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Supports video, audio, and image conversion from a single desktop interface.
- Offers output formats including MP4, MKV, WebM, MOV, GIF, MP3, M4A, WAV, FLAC, PNG, JPG, WebP, BMP, and TIFF.
- Includes a range of video encoders such as H.264, H.265, VP9, ProRes, and AV1, with hardware acceleration options for supported systems.
- Provides audio and image encoding options together with scaling controls and metadata probing via ffprobe.
- Integrates Real-ESRGAN for AI upscaling of video and images.
- Saves reusable conversion presets for repeated workflows.
- Shows real-time progress information and logs while conversion jobs run.
