## Description

Media Tools is a lightweight Chrome extension that allows users to manipulate media files such as video and audio directly within their browser using FFmpeg commands. This powerful add-on leverages the open-source FFmpeg engine, a suite of libraries designed for handling various video, audio, and streaming media tasks.

To enable communication between your browser and FFmpeg installed on your machine (Windows, Linux, or Mac), the extension uses nativeMessaging technology. Users must first install FFmpeg and the corresponding native client patch available on GitHub. The extension supports numerous media manipulation features including converting file formats, splitting, and extracting media components. For bug reports or feature requests, users can visit the extension's homepage.
