File Blender
Extensible File Converter and Processor.
Released May 14, 2010
File Blender is an extensible and customizable file conversion and processing tool.
It uses external command line programs to convert or otherwise process files that are being dropped onto the interface.
You can easily extend its functionality by adding any program that supports command line arguments to its Actions folder, along with a simple configuration file that tells Flie Blender which files should be handled by each action and how.
File Blender requires no installation. The application itself is built of a single executable and a configuration file.
This download file is preconfigured with:
- Video Converter (AVI, WMV, FLV)
- Image Converter (BMP, JPG, PNG, GIF, TIF)
- Audio Converter (MP3, WAV, FLAC, OGG)
- PDF/TIFF Splitter and Joiner
- JS/CSS Minifier and Obfuscator
View all supported actions and additional download options.
File Blender is a freeware and available in English and French.

Getting Started
The default File Blender download comes with several Action packages already
configured and fully functional.
To see how it works:
- Drag an image file or an MP3 file onto the interface (you may drop several
files at once).
- Depending on the file type you have dropped, File Blender will show you
an additional menu with options (Actions). Press one of these actions to
continue.
- Some actions may provide you with further options. For example, if you
drop an image and choose the Convert... option, you will be prompted to
select an output format.
To see a list of supported file formats and for more options, right click
the main interface.
Adding / Editing Actions
All the actions that File Blender can perform are located in the Actions
folder.
Each sub folder contains configuration files (named like "MP3 to WAV.b.ini").
When the Actions menu is open, you may right click the action button to gain
quick access to the configuration file.
If you are creating an action package that you think may interest others, or
if you would like to see any other type of processing/conversion provided,
please contact me.
