What it does
Filestar converts and processes many file types through desktop commands. Its tools include merging, splitting, compression, extraction, and recipes that chain operations together.
Drop files into the desktop app and type an operation, or chain skills into a recipe launched by a hotkey or trigger folder. Ordinary desktop conversions run on the computer; recipes can also deliver results by email. The free plan lists ten cloud credits per month, separately from desktop conversion allowances. Paid subscriptions renew automatically, and some AI skills have their own credit units despite broader unlimited wording. Restoring a purchase uses email verification. Filestar.Cloud is a separate web/container route described as in development, with self-hosted or Filestar-hosted options planned.
