Converting files doesn't have to be complicated. Our platform makes it easy to transform your videos, images, and documents between different formats while keeping your files completely private. All processing happens locally in your browser, so your files never leave your device.
Getting Started: Choose Your Converter
First, navigate to our Converters page to see all available conversion options. We organize converters by type:
- Video Converters: Convert between MP4, WebM, AVI, MOV, MKV, and more
- Image Converters: Transform PNG, JPEG, WebP, AVIF, HEIC, and other formats
Each converter page is dedicated to a specific format conversion (like MP4 to WebM or PNG to JPEG). Click on the converter you need to get started.
Step-by-Step Conversion Process
1. Upload Your Files
You have two easy ways to add files:
- Drag and Drop: Simply drag your file(s) from your computer and drop them onto the upload area
- Click to Browse: Click the upload area to open your file browser and select files
Single File Upload (Free Plan)
Free users can upload and convert one file at a time. This is perfect for quick, occasional conversions like converting a single video or image.
Multi-File Upload (Pro Plan)
Pro users unlock the power of batch processing. You can upload multiple files at once by:
- Selecting multiple files in the file browser (hold Ctrl/Cmd while clicking)
- Dragging an entire folder of files onto the upload area
- Dropping multiple files simultaneously
All files will be processed in parallel, saving you significant time when converting large batches of media.
2. Review File Information
Once uploaded, you'll see detailed information about each file including:
- File name and size
- Current format and codec details
- Estimated conversion time
- Expected output size (when available)
3. Start the Conversion
Click the Convert button to begin processing. Our system uses FFmpeg running directly in your browser (via WebAssembly) to ensure:
- Complete Privacy: Your files never leave your device
- Fast Processing: Utilizes your computer's full processing power
- High Quality: Professional-grade conversion algorithms
Conversion Progress & Logs
During conversion, you'll see real-time progress updates and detailed logs. This transparency lets you monitor:
- Current processing stage (loading, analyzing, converting, finalizing)
- Percentage complete
- Detailed FFmpeg output for advanced users
- Any warnings or optimization suggestions
Advanced Options (Pro)
Pro users get access to additional conversion settings:
- Codec Selection: Choose specific codecs like AV1 for maximum compression
- Quality Settings: Adjust bitrate, resolution, and compression levels
- Server Fallback: For very large files or complex conversions, use our secure server processing
4. Download Your Results
Once conversion completes, you have flexible download options:
- Single File: Download each converted file individually
- Download All (Pro): Get all converted files in a single ZIP archive
- Reset & Convert More: Clear the current files and start fresh

Troubleshooting Common Issues
Conversion Taking Too Long?
- Large files naturally take longer to process
- Complex codecs (like AV1) require more processing power
- Pro users can enable server processing for faster results
- Try reducing quality settings for quicker conversions
File Not Supported?
- Check that your input file isn't corrupted
- Ensure you're using a supported input format
- For unsupported codecs, try converting to an intermediate format first
- Pro users get access to the widest range of codecs
Quality Concerns?
- Most conversions maintain original quality
- Lossy formats (like JPEG) will reduce file size but may lose some quality
- Adjust quality settings in Pro mode for fine control
- Always keep backups of your original files
Privacy & Security
Your privacy is our top priority. Unlike many online converters, our system:
- Processes locally: All conversion happens in your browser
- No file uploads: Files never leave your device
- No accounts required: Convert anonymously if you prefer
- Open source processing: Uses standard FFmpeg libraries
Pro Tips for Better Results
- Batch convert similar files: Group files with the same input format for efficient processing
- Check file sizes first: Large files may benefit from Pro server processing
- Use appropriate formats: Choose WebP for web images, MP4 for videos, AVIF for maximum compression
- Monitor logs: The conversion logs can help you understand and optimize your workflow
- Test with small files: Try a small file first to ensure the output meets your needs
