⚡ FFmpeg Batch Command Generator

A simple, zero-dependency HTML utility that generates custom, single-line FFmpeg commands to batch compress and convert video folders across Windows, macOS, and Linux.

---

📖 About

Born from a quick fix. I built this lightweight tool to stop manually editing terminal scripts for batch video compression. Open it in your browser, tweak your FFmpeg settings (paths, codecs, CRF, presets), and copy a ready-to-run command. No installation, no extra software.

✨ Features

• 💻 Cross-Platform: Supports Windows (CMD & PowerShell) and macOS/Linux (Bash/Zsh).
• ⚙️ Fully Customizable: Choose video codec (H.264 / H.265), CRF value, preset, audio codec, bitrate, output folder, and more.
• 📋 One-Click Copy: Instantly copy the generated command to your clipboard.
• 🔒 100% Local & Private: Everything runs directly in your browser. No files, paths, or data are uploaded.
• 🚀 Zero Dependencies: A single HTML file with no installation, frameworks, or build tools required.
