Releases
What changed. And when.
Every version of Podalls Convert, newest first. Installed copies update themselves — this page is here if you would rather read first, or need an earlier build.
LATEST RELEASE
New in v0.2.1
The latest improvements, directly from the app’s release notes.
- Videos saved with Podalls Downloader can be sent straight to Podalls Convert with its Convert button.
- The Video dialog is tidier: formats are chosen from one row, and the Convert button stays in view in a small window.

v0.2.1 on GitHubPodalls Convert is free. If this release saves you time, you can support the next one.
-
Convert videos between MP4, MKV, WebM, MOV, AVI and WMV, or turn a short clip into an animated GIF.
Changing a video's format alone now keeps the picture exactly as it was, and takes seconds rather than minutes.
Make a video smaller for email, chat and uploads; the copy is kept only when it really is smaller.
Save the sound of a video on its own as MP3, M4A, FLAC, WAV, Opus or OGG, straight out of the film untouched when it is already in that format.
The Tools page now opens on the four kinds of file the app works with - PDF, Documents, Images and Video - and shows every tool for one of them when you click it.
Podalls Convert starts on Tools instead of the Reader; opening a file from Explorer still goes straight to the Reader.
This update is a larger download than usual: the video features bring their own engine, installed with the app so videos convert offline like everything else.
v0.2.0 on GitHub -
Convert Word documents (.docx) to EPUB e-books, with no office app needed: chapters, headings, lists, tables, pictures, links and footnotes are kept.
Close the open PDF with the new Close button in the Reader or Ctrl+W, and go back to the start page.
Fixed a crash that could happen when opening some PDFs.
Long notes in the Update dialog now wrap instead of running off the edge.
v0.1.5 on GitHub -
Read e-books: EPUB, FB2, TXT and HTML now open in the Reader, paginated like a printed book.
Choose typeface, size, spacing and colours for e-books, with contents and reading position remembered.
Build contents for books without marked headings from capitalised titles, "Chapter 4" labels and centred opening headings.
Keep three heading levels when converting a PDF to Word or EPUB, including numbered sections such as "1.2 Scope".
View PDFs in a two-page book layout: turn pages with the arrow keys, wheel, or the on-screen arrows.
Recognise text in scanned PDFs with Windows' built-in OCR, creating a searchable copy while leaving the original unchanged.
Choose the recognition language, which pages to read, and Faster, Standard or Careful quality; turned scans are corrected automatically.
Convert scanned PDFs directly to Word, Excel or EPUB, or recognise and retry when a conversion finds no selectable text.
v0.1.4 on GitHub -
Edit PDFs directly: change or delete text, move and resize objects, and save the result.
Add text, pictures, freehand ink, highlights, whiteout, lines, arrows, rectangles and ellipses.
Use undo/redo, page thumbnails, keyboard nudging, Save, and Save a copy without overwriting the original.
Open the editor from Tools, the Editor sidebar, or the Reader's Edit button; unsaved changes are protected.
Convert images to PNG, JPG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, BMP, TIFF, ICO, ICNS, PDF and favicon packages.
Convert Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OpenDocument, RTF, CSV and WPS files to PDF with Microsoft Office, WPS or LibreOffice.
Improve PDF workflows with compression, merging, splitting, Word/Excel/EPUB conversion and safer output handling.
