Comment on FBI warnings are true—fake file converters do push malware
T156@lemmy.world 1 week agoFFmpeg and handbrake do the latter two quite handily. The latter even has a nice program interface, rather than needing commands.
ImageMagick is capable of the first. I’ve had it go the other way before, and I should be most surprised if it couldn’t convert a PDF to a jpg.

I don’t have the knowledge or the time to learn to use these tools.

Lol, if the point was to sarcastically respond how easy it was to type you were supposed to enter
And
By putting the “and” in the commands you just caused an error lol

TYPE IT WHERE!? WHAT DO I DO WITH THIS INFORMATION!? How are you so completely unaware at how non-sensical this information is?

The terminal? Your post history suggests you are quite familiar with Linux. But I agree that those who are most prone to use random file conversion sites because they need something as PDF for work will be very confused by those instructions.
