Tips for an accurate result
For anything sensitive, that local-only processing is exactly why a browser-based tool is safer than emailing a file to a random converter site.
Rename output files clearly and immediately; "converted-file-final-v2" a week later is much harder to make sense of.
If a batch of files needs the same treatment, process one first to confirm the settings before running the rest.
When quality matters, compare the output against the original at full size before deciding a setting was correct.
