Drag-and-drop file converter and manager for Windows. Free forever, no uploads, no limits.
Taken from the repository README
Loading the full README.
Read the full README ↗Chango is a drag-and-drop file converter for your desktop. Drag files, tap Shift, and let go on the format you want. The result appears next to the original, and the original is never changed.
Converting a file is basic computer work, so it shouldn't mean uploading it to someone else's server, waiting in a queue or paying past a limit. Chango does it on your own computer: free forever, no uploads, no limits, no account.
Chango is available for Windows 10 (19041+) and 11, from the Microsoft Store or right here on GitHub. A native macOS version is in development.
No dragging? Select files, press Ctrl + Alt + Space and click an option. Or right-click files or folders in File Explorer and choose Chango. Every result can be undone for a few seconds (it goes to the Recycle Bin).
Make it yours. Settings → Wheel shows every wheel: click a slice to hide it, drag a slice to move it, then Save.

| Platform | How to get it | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Windows 10 (19041+) and 11, Microsoft Store | Get Chango from the Microsoft Store: a one-click install, signed by Microsoft and kept up to date by the Store | Available |
| Windows 10 (19041+) and 11, x64 | Chango-Setup.exe (installer) or Chango-Portable.zip (no install), from the latest release | Available |
| Website | chango.rameshtiwari.com: downloads, a guide and the FAQ | Available |
| macOS | A native Mac app with the same drag, tap and let-go wheel | In development |
Chango-Setup.exe. It installs for your account only, so it doesn't need administrator rights, and adds Chango to the Start menu. It keeps itself up to date (see Privacy). Uninstall it from Settings → Apps.Chango-Portable.zip anywhere and run Chango.exe. It tells you when a new version is out.The first time Chango starts, a short tour shows you the gesture and lets you try it on a sample file. After that Chango waits quietly in the notification area; the tour is in its menu whenever you want it again.
Each release includes SHA256SUMS.txt, so you can check the download is intact (Get-FileHash Chango-Setup.exe in PowerShell). The GitHub downloads aren't code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen may warn the first time you run them. Choose More info → Run anyway, or use the Microsoft Store version, which doesn't show the warning.
winget install Gyan.FFmpeg. Chango finds it automatically, even if you install it while Chango is running.winget install TheDocumentFoundation.LibreOffice.Everything runs locally. There are no uploads, no account and no telemetry. The one network request is the update check: every few hours Chango asks GitHub whether a newer version exists, sending nothing about you or your files. Turn it off in Settings → About. See the full privacy policy.
Ideas and requests are welcome: open an issue or email [email protected].
Requirements: Windows 10/11 and the .NET 10 SDK (winget install Microsoft.DotNet.SDK.10). For the installer, add Inno Setup 6 (winget install JRSoftware.InnoSetup). More detail is in docs/development/building.md.
dotnet build Chango.slnx -c Release
dotnet test tests/Chango.Tests
dotnet run --project src/Chango.App # runs from source (lives in the notification area)
./build/package.ps1 # → artifacts/: setup.exe, portable.zip, SHA256SUMS.txt
dotnet run --project tools/IconGen # regenerates the icons and launch animation from the logo
Tests that need Word, Excel, PowerPoint or FFmpeg skip themselves when those aren't installed.

Chango is built on OrbitDrop by Mohammed Essam. The radial wheel that opens while you drag a file, and the code behind it, is based on Orbit's work, shared under the MIT License. Chango adds its own converters, tools, design and tour on top.
Chango also stands on open-source libraries including PDFsharp, PdfPig, the Open XML SDK, SkiaSharp, Svg.Skia and Markdig. Every one is listed, with its licence, in THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md.
The code is MIT, © 2026 Ramesh Tiwari and © 2026 Mohammed Essam (OrbitDrop). See LICENSE, THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md and the full licence texts in licenses/.
The Chango name and logo aren't covered by the MIT licence: a fork needs its own. See assets/brand/README.md.
