About ConvertFile
What We Built
ConvertFile is a free file converter that runs entirely in your browser. When you convert an image on ConvertFile, the file never leaves your device. There are no uploads, no server processing, and no third-party access to your data.
We built ConvertFile because most online converters require you to upload your files to a remote server. That means trusting someone else with your images, waiting for uploads to complete, and hoping they actually delete your data afterward. We eliminated all of that.
How It Works
ConvertFile uses the HTML5 Canvas API, a technology built into every modern browser. When you drop a file into the converter, your browser reads the image, re-encodes it in the target format, and offers the result as a download. The entire process takes under 2 seconds on most devices.
Because everything runs locally, ConvertFile works even if you disconnect from the internet after loading the page. There is no server to go down, no queue to wait in, and no file size limits imposed by upload bandwidth.
Our Values
Privacy first: Your files stay on your device. No tracking, no data collection beyond basic analytics.
No artificial limits: No watermarks, no daily caps, no premium tiers for basic functionality.
Transparency: The conversion happens in your browser. You can verify this by checking the network tab in your developer tools during any conversion.
