Vertex
Convert files in Windows Explorer by holding Shift while dragging.
Vertex converts files directly inside Windows Explorer without opening a separate application window. When you hold Shift while dragging a file, a radial menu of output formats appears at your cursor. Dropping the file onto a format slice converts it and saves the new file in the same folder.
