It's free, open source, has a wide variety of file types and dismissed the use of online conversion tools that could violate your privacy or require an internet connection.
You are correct. Online conversion utilities are dodgy. I have never, and will never use them, at least third-party ones. No telling where your IP might pop up.

Unfortunately it does not keep metadata, and for example when converting .flac files to .aac audio file, the name of Album, Writer, Group is lost, what is a pity. There's also lot of other limitations.
you can propose that feature through opening a issue on the Github project. Is best thing of the open source projects

I know this is stale, but just in case someone else lands here, this is the link to the issues for the app: https://github.com/Tichau/FileConverter/issues

Simple and easy to use!
It's powerful as hell. Best program ever
Only used for audio.
Nearly perfect when you understand that advanced features are FFMPEG command line. So you have to RTFM of FFMPEG and not searching desperately in the "file converter" site. (yeah, I'm stupid. I've missed the hovering tooltip in the custom arguments)
Finally, the only weakness of "File converter" is his name that is too generic. (indexing problem and perhaps identity fraud)
I use it daily for almost all my media conversions.
Easy and support Many Formats
