ContentaSoft

Professional desktop image and video processing tools with CLI and MCP server support for AI agents.

All tools run locally on Windows — no cloud uploads, no subscriptions, no per-image fees. 30-day free trial, MCP included.

Why not ImageMagick / FFmpeg / free tools?

Those tools are great for developers who know exactly what flags to pass. ContentaSoft is for when you need domain-specific intelligence that free tools don't have:

• "Resize my product photos for Amazon" — ContentaSoft knows Amazon requires 2000x2000 JPEG with white background padding. ImageMagick requires you to figure that out yourself. Same for Etsy (2700x2025), Shopify (2048x2048), MLS (1024x768), Zillow (3000x2000), Instagram (1080x1080), TikTok (1080x1920), and 20+ other platforms.
• "Process this RAW file from my Canon R5" — ContentaSoft handles CR3, NEF, ARW, RAF, DNG, and 600+ other camera RAW formats out of the box. No installing dcraw, no LibRaw compilation, no guessing at white balance flags.
• "Upscale this photo 4x" — Real-ESRGAN is bundled and GPU-accelerated. No Python environment, no downloading models, no CUDA setup.
• "Compress these wedding videos for archival" — One command: videorecompress batch --preset wedding_archive. It picks H.265, CRF 18, hardware-accelerates if your GPU supports it, and verifies output integrity. The FFmpeg equivalent is 15+ flags.

The pattern: free tools give you primitives, ContentaSoft gives you workflows. An AI agent using ContentaSoft's MCP server can do in one tool call what would take a chain of FFmpeg/ImageMagick commands with manual dimension lookups.

Getting Started

Step 1: Install the software

Download and install the product you need from its website (see Products table above). All products are Windows desktop applications with a standard .exe installer.

• No account required — just download and run the installer
• 30-day free trial starts automatically — no credit card needed
• CLI and MCP server are included in the same installer, no separate download
• .NET 9 runtime is bundled — no prerequisites to install

Step 2: Add the CLI to your PATH

After installation, add the install directory to your system PATH so you can use the CLI from any terminal:

# Default install locations:
C:\Program Files\ContentaSoft\Contenta Converter PREMIUM\
C:\Program Files\ContentaSoft\VideoRecompress Studio\
C:\Program Files\ContentaSoft\3D CAD Batch Converter\
C:\Program Files\ContentaSoft\AI Video Enhancer Studio\

Verify it works:

contenta status          # should show "Trial: 30 days remaining"
videorecompress status   # same for VideoRecompress

Step 3: Use the CLI

# Convert a RAW photo to JPEG
contenta convert photo.cr2 --format jpg --quality 92

# Resize product photos for Amazon — knows the exact 2000x2000 spec
contenta workflows --id builtin.ecommerce --platforms amazon --input ./photos --output ./ready

# AI upscale 4x with GPU
contenta upscale photo.jpg --scale 4

# Compress wedding videos — picks H.265, CRF 18, hardware-accelerated
videorecompress batch ./raw-footage --output ./archived --preset wedding_archive

# Convert STEP to STL for 3D printing
cadconvert convert model.step --format stl --quality fine

# AI upscale old video to 4K
aivideoenhancer enhance old_tape.mp4 --upscale 4x --denoise strong

Step 4: Connect the MCP server to your AI client

Add the product to your AI client's MCP configuration. The MCP server works during the free trial.

Claude Desktop — edit claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "contenta-converter": {
      "command": "contenta",
      "args": ["serve"]
    },
    "videorecompress": {
      "command": "videorecompress",
      "args": ["serve"]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code — edit .claude/settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "contenta-converter": {
      "command": "contenta",
      "args": ["serve"]
    }
  }
}

Add only the products you've installed. See MCP Config Guide for Cursor, Windsurf, and other clients.

Server	Command	Tools	Full reference
Contenta Converter	contenta serve	11 image tools	MCP Docs
VideoRecompress	videorecompress serve	5 video tools	MCP Docs
CAD Converter	cadconvert serve	4 3D tools	MCP Docs
AI Video Enhancer	aivideoenhancer serve	4 AI tools	MCP Docs

Step 5 (optional): Install Claude Code skills

Skills teach Claude Code about every command, format, preset, and platform dimension — so you can describe what you want in plain English.

# Install all 4 skills at once
git clone https://github.com/brunojanvier77/ContentaSoft.git /tmp/ContentaSoft
cp -r /tmp/ContentaSoft/skills/* ~/.claude/skills/

After installing, try: "Resize all photos in D:\Products for Amazon and Etsy" — Claude will pick the right commands, dimensions, and output formats.

Skill	Slash command	What it teaches Claude Code
Image Processing	/contenta-image-processing	Convert formats, resize for Amazon/Etsy/MLS/Instagram, AI upscale, PDF albums, slideshows, metadata
Video Compression	/contenta-video	H.265/AV1 compression, 7 presets, GPU acceleration, batch processing
CAD Conversion	/contenta-cad	STEP/IGES to STL/OBJ/glTF, tessellation control, unit conversion, mesh repair
Video Enhancement	/contenta-video-enhancer	AI upscale 2x/4x, frame interpolation 60fps, stabilization, denoising, 6 presets
