Right-click file conversion for Windows.

Convert media, documents and archives directly from Explorer.

📖 About

Xolariq is a Windows desktop tool that lives entirely inside the Explorer context menu. Right-click any audio, video, image, document or archive file, pick a target format, and Xolariq runs the conversion in the background — no main window, no account, no cloud upload. It's a thin, fast shell over a small set of well-trusted local tools: FFmpeg for audio/video/images, pandoc for documents, and 7-Zip for archives.

The installer bundles everything needed — no extra downloads, no PATH configuration, no dependencies to manage. Install once, convert forever.

✨ Highlights

• Shell-first UX — the primary surface is the Windows context menu. The settings window is just a small dialog you rarely have to open.
• Batch-aware queue — right-click multiple files, pick a target — they process sequentially with a single progress window and one finish toast.
• Two-tier shell integration — a native COM IExplorerCommand handler (xolariq-shellext) powers the entry in Windows 11's default context menu; a pure-registry fallback covers Windows 10 and per-user installs.
• Pluggable converters — audio/video/image route through FFmpeg, documents through pandoc, archives through 7-Zip. Adding a new format is a one-file change.
• Tools bundled with the installer — the MSI ships FFmpeg, pandoc and 7-Zip next to xolariq.exe, so users don't need to install anything extra.
• Fully local — no AI, no cloud, no plugin marketplace, no premium tier.
