The application offers a broad layout with a clutter-free user interface for easy operation. At the center of the UI, a big “Add File” option is available for manually adding files.

Once media files are added, you can set options for the whole conversion process including selecting output format, at the bottom of the program UI you can see “Convert to” option.
