All conversions happen directly in your browser - no files are uploaded to our servers.

Yes! Our file converter is 100% free to use with unlimited conversions. There are no hidden fees, no registration required, and no artificial daily limits. All processing happens in your browser, so the only limits are your device's memory and browser capabilities. We support our service through Amazon affiliate links.

No account needed! You can start converting files immediately without any registration or sign-up process.

No artificial daily limits! Since all conversions happen directly in your browser, you can convert as many files as you want. The only practical limits are:

• 📏 File size limits: Up to 50MB per file (audio), 25MB (images), 15MB (documents)
• 📦 Batch processing: Up to 50 files at once, 500MB total batch size
• 💻 Browser memory: Your device's available RAM determines performance

💡 Tip: For large batches, close other browser tabs to free up memory for faster conversions!

Absolutely! Your files never leave your device. All conversions happen 100% in your browser using JavaScript. We cannot see, store, or access your files in any way. You can even use our converter offline after the page loads. Learn more in our Privacy Policy.

No. Since all conversions happen in your browser, your files never reach our servers. We cannot store what we never receive. Your files remain completely private.

Yes! After the page loads once, the converter works offline. Since everything runs in your browser, you don't need an internet connection to convert files.

We support 40 different formats across multiple categories:

• Images: PNG, JPG/JPEG/JPE/JFIF, WebP, SVG, GIF, BMP, ICO, AVIF, QOI (TIFF output only)
• Documents: PDF (output only), DOCX (output only), RTF, HTML, Markdown, TXT, EPUB (EPUB input only)
• Audio: MP3, WAV, FLAC, OGG/OGA, AIFF, ALAC, Opus, WebM/WEBA, AU
• Data: CSV, JSON, YAML, XML, TSV (can convert to PDF/DOCX for reports)

Note: TIFF, PDF, and DOCX are output-only. You can convert TO these formats, but not FROM them.

Visit the converter to see all available format combinations.

⚠️ Important: TIFF, PDF, and DOCX input files are NOT supported.

Web browsers have limited capabilities for reading these complex formats. However:

• ✅ You CAN convert TO TIFF/PDF/DOCX - Convert any supported file to these formats
• ❌ You CANNOT convert FROM TIFF/PDF/DOCX - These files cannot be used as input

If you have a TIFF file to convert:

1. First convert your TIFF to PNG, JPG, or WebP using desktop software:
   • GIMP (free) - Open TIFF and export as PNG/JPG
   • Photoshop - Save As PNG/JPG
2. Then use this tool to convert to your desired format

If you have a PDF file to convert:

1. Open your PDF in a PDF reader and export/save as another format:
   • Adobe Acrobat - Export as Word, Image, or Text
   • Preview (Mac) - Export as PNG, JPG
   • Microsoft Edge (Windows) - Print to Image or save images
2. Then use this tool to convert to your desired format

If you have a DOCX file to convert:

1. Open your DOCX in a word processor and export/save as another format:
   • Microsoft Word - Save As → TXT, HTML, or Markdown
   • Google Docs - File → Download → Plain Text or HTML
   • LibreOffice Writer - File → Export → Text or HTML
2. Then use this tool to convert to your desired format

Why this limitation? TIFF, PDF, and DOCX are primarily output/document formats. Unlike simple formats like PNG or TXT which all browsers can read, these complex formats require special libraries that aren't fully available in web browsers. We can create these files (output), but cannot reliably read them (input).

File size limits vary by type:

• Images: Up to 25 MB
• Audio: Up to 50 MB
• Text/Documents: Up to 5 MB
• Data files: Up to 10 MB

Larger files may cause your browser to slow down since processing happens locally.

We currently don't support Excel (.xlsx/.xls) files. However, you can convert CSV, JSON, XML, and other data formats that work well for spreadsheet data. You can also convert CSV/JSON/XML/YAML/TSV to PDF or DOCX for creating professional reports.

Yes! Our converter can transform structured data files into professional PDF or DOCX documents with formatted tables:

• CSV → PDF/DOCX: Converts your spreadsheet data into a formatted table document
• JSON → PDF/DOCX: Parses JSON and creates a table with your data
• XML → PDF/DOCX: Extracts data from XML and formats it as a table
• YAML → PDF/DOCX: Converts YAML configuration files to readable documents
• TSV → PDF/DOCX: Transforms tab-separated data into formatted tables

Perfect for generating reports, sharing data in a readable format, or creating documentation!

Absolutely! Our Markdown converter fully preserves all formatting when converting to PDF, DOCX, and RTF:

• Headers: # becomes large headers, ## becomes subheaders, ### becomes smaller headers
• Bold text: **text** becomes properly bolded text
• Lists: - items become bullet points with proper indentation
• Paragraphs: Clean spacing and structure maintained
• Multi-page: Long documents automatically split across multiple pages

Perfect for converting documentation, README files, or any Markdown content into professional documents!

Conversion speed depends on:

• File size: Larger files take longer to process
• Format complexity: Some conversions are more complex than others
• Device performance: Your computer/phone's processing power
• Browser: Chrome and Edge typically perform fastest

For very large files (>50MB), your browser may become slow or unresponsive.

Our converter works on all modern browsers:

• Chrome/Edge (recommended)
• Firefox
• Safari
• Opera

For best performance, use the latest version of Chrome or Edge.

It depends on the conversion:

• Lossless: PNG, WAV, FLAC preserve 100% quality
• Lossy: JPEG, MP3, WebP compress files, reducing quality slightly
• Note: Converting from lossy to lossless doesn't improve quality - it just changes the format

You can adjust quality settings for image and audio conversions. Read our Audio Format Guide and Image Format Guide for more details.

Try these solutions:

1. Check file size: Make sure it's under the limit for your file type
2. Verify format: Ensure the file is in a supported format
3. Refresh page: Sometimes a simple refresh helps
4. Try another browser: Switch to Chrome or Edge if using another browser
5. File corruption: The original file might be corrupted - try opening it in another app first

Common reasons:

• Format limitations: Some formats don't support certain features (e.g., GIF has only 256 colors)
• Compression: Lossy formats like JPEG reduce quality for smaller file sizes
• Font/style issues: Document conversions may lose some formatting
• Encoding: Text conversions might have character encoding issues

Try adjusting quality settings or using a lossless format if quality is critical. See our File Size Optimization Guide for more tips.

• For web: WebP (images), MP3 (audio)
• For quality: PNG (images), WAV/FLAC (audio)
• For compatibility: JPEG (images), MP3 (audio), PDF (documents)
• For file size: WebP/AVIF (images)
• For transparency: PNG, WebP

Yes! Batch conversion is now available!

You can convert up to 50 files at once (max 500MB total). Here's how:

1. Select multiple files when browsing, or drag and drop multiple files into the upload area
2. Choose output format for each file individually, or use the "Convert all to same format" checkbox for bulk conversion
3. Adjust scaling options per file (for images)
4. Click "Convert All" and wait for processing
5. Download all files as a ZIP archive

Safety Features:

• Hard limit: 50 files or 500MB total
• Warning for large batches (20+ files or 200MB+)
• Sequential processing to prevent browser crashes
• Memory management to handle large batches efficiently
