Security & Privacy

Yes, we take security seriously. All file transfers are protected with TLS/SSL encryption. We use CloudFlare R2 for secure file storage with encryption at rest. Our systems are regularly audited for security vulnerabilities.

We do not access or view the content of your files except in limited circumstances where it's necessary to provide support or troubleshoot issues.

For free users, we automatically delete all uploaded and converted files after 24 hours. For premium users, files are stored until you manually delete them or terminate your account.

When files are deleted from our system, they are permanently removed and cannot be recovered, so please download your converted files promptly.

No, we do not share your files with any third parties. Your files are used solely for the purpose of providing our conversion service to you. Please see our Privacy Policy for complete details on how we handle your data.

Conversion Quality

We strive to maintain the highest possible quality during conversions. However, some quality loss may occur depending on the formats involved:

  • When converting between similar formats (e.g., PNG to JPG), minimal quality loss may occur.
  • When converting between different types of formats (e.g., video to audio), only the relevant information is retained.
  • When converting to a format with inherent limitations, those limitations will apply to the output file.

Premium users have access to higher quality conversion settings, including lossless options where available.

Yes, most conversion types offer basic customization options such as quality settings, resolution, and bit rate. Premium users have access to advanced customization options including:

Troubleshooting

Conversions may fail for several reasons:

  • The file is corrupted or damaged
  • The file format is not supported or recognized correctly
  • The file is password-protected or encrypted
  • The file exceeds the size limit
  • The conversion server experienced temporary issues

If your conversion fails, try uploading the file again or contact our support team for assistance.

If you're having trouble uploading files, try these steps:

  • Check your internet connection
  • Make sure the file doesn't exceed the size limit (100MB for free users)
  • Try using a different browser
  • Clear your browser cache and cookies
  • Disable any browser extensions that might interfere with uploads
  • Try compressing the file first if it's large

If you still can't upload, please contact our support team with details about the file and the error you're experiencing.

Different file formats have different capabilities and limitations. When converting between formats, some features or formatting may change:

  • Complex formatting in documents may change when converting between document formats
  • Font substitution may occur if specific fonts aren't available
  • Image resolution or color profiles may adjust to meet format requirements
  • Audio or video quality may change based on codec and compression settings

For the most accurate conversions, premium users have access to advanced settings that help preserve more of the original file's characteristics.
