Questions tagged [conversion]

Conversion between file formats.

Use this tag if your question is about converting between file formats. You should also use one or two tags that reflect either the type of file or problem area (image-manipulation, audio, character-encoding, …), or the source and target formats (pdf, flac, …).

Some common conversion tools:

character-encoding: iconv, recode
image-manipulation: imagemagick (convert, gm)
audio: sox
video: mencoder (companion to mplayer)
If you're trying to convert from foo to bar, look for a program called foo2bar or footobar.
