Overview

Convertio is an online file converter covering a wide range of formats: images, documents, spreadsheets, ebooks, archives, presentations, audio and video. You drop a file in the browser, pick the output format, and download the result. It takes batches, and it can pull files from your device or from cloud drives.

It is web only. Converting and downloading is free with no account. Paid plans are subscriptions, billed monthly or yearly. They allow larger files, more conversions at once and higher priority. The vendor states input files are deleted right after conversion and output files after 24 hours.

When to use

Use Convertio when you need a format changed:

  • You need an unusual format among the many it covers.
  • You want to pull files from cloud drives and convert them.
  • You have a quick one-off or a small batch to convert.

When NOT to use

Skip Convertio if any of these describe you:

  • Your files must not leave your machine. Convertio uploads them to convert. The vendor states input files are deleted right after conversion, and output files after 24 hours.
  • You convert large files. Higher file-size caps are one of the main things the paid plans sell.
  • You need several conversions running at the same time, or faster queueing. Both come with the paid plans.
