+# Transmutate
+
+Transmutate is a pure KDE desktop tool for converting images, videos, and audio files. It uses **KDialog** for all interactive prompts and leverages **FFmpeg** and **ImageMagick** under the hood to perform the actual transcoding.
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+./transmutate.sh <path/to/image|video|audio>
+```
+
+## Features
+
+- Select output format, quality, and audio/subtitle tracks via KDE dialogs
+- Convert **images** to PNG, JPG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, or video formats (MP4, MKV, WebM, AVI, MOV)
+- Convert **videos** to MP4, MKV, WebM, AVI, MOV, GIF, or animated WebP
+- Convert **audio** to MP3, FLAC, WAV, OGG, M4A, or AAC
+- Animated GIFs and WebPs can be converted to full video formats
+- GIF/WebP animation options (looping)
+- If multiple audio or subtitle tracks exist, choose which to include
+- Handles filename conflicts by prompting to overwrite or auto-renaming
+
+## Requirements
+
+- **KDE / KDialog**
+- **FFmpeg**
+- **ImageMagick** (`magick` CLI) — optional, used for better GIF and WebP conversion
