What is the File Converter?
The File Converter is a free online tool that changes files from one format to another inside your web browser. It converts images (JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, AVIF, BMP, TIFF, SVG, GIF, ICO), PDF files (to JPG, PNG, Word or text), Word documents to PDF, Excel and CSV spreadsheets, Markdown and HTML, audio (MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG, FLAC) and video (MP4, WebM, MOV, MKV, AVI to MP4, WebM, GIF or MP3). It can also merge PDFs and photos into one PDF. Your files are never uploaded to a server, so it is private, and there is no sign-up, no watermark and no file limit.

Tips for the best results
- For photos, JPG at 80 to 90% quality gives small files that still look sharp.
- Use PNG when the image has text, a logo or a transparent background.
- PDF to Word works best with PDFs that have real text. For scanned PDFs, use the Image to Text (OCR) tool.
- To shrink a video, choose MP4, Smaller file and 720p in Options.
- Merge PDF keeps the order of your list. Use the arrow next to a file to move it up.
- Big videos convert faster on a computer than on a phone, because all the work happens on your device.
