Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Easy Converter.
What is Easy Converter and how does it work?
Easy Converter is a free online file converter that runs entirely in your browser. It uses WebAssembly technology to run ImageMagick, FFmpeg, and Pandoc locally on your device. You upload a file, select an output format, and the conversion happens on your machine without sending files to any server. Video conversions are an exception — they are processed on a secure server and deleted immediately after completion.
Is Easy Converter really free?
Yes, it is completely free. There are no hidden charges, no premium tiers, no usage limits, and no account required. You can convert as many files as you need, as often as you want.
Are my files uploaded to a server when I convert them?
For images, audio, and documents — no. These conversions happen locally in your browser using WebAssembly. Your files never leave your device. For video conversions, files are temporarily uploaded to a secure conversion server and are deleted immediately after processing or within one hour. You will be notified before any video upload occurs.
What image formats can I convert?
We support a wide range of image formats including JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, TIFF, BMP, SVG, HEIC, ICO, and many more. You can convert between any of these formats. Browse our full list on the Supported Formats page.
How do I convert JPG to PNG?
Using our dedicated JPG to PNG converter, simply upload your JPG file and select PNG as the output. The conversion happens instantly in your browser. PNG supports transparency and lossless compression, making it ideal for logos and graphics.
How do I convert HEIC to JPG?
Upload your HEIC file to our HEIC to JPG converter and select JPG as the output format. The conversion is done locally in your browser, so your photos stay private. This is useful if you have iPhone photos (HEIC format) that you need to open on a Windows PC or Android device.
What is WebP and should I use it?
WebP is a modern image format developed by Google that offers 25-35% smaller file sizes than JPEG at equivalent quality. It supports transparency (like PNG) and animation (like GIF). All modern browsers support WebP. If you want faster-loading websites, converting your images to WebP is one of the easiest performance improvements you can make.
What is the maximum file size I can convert?
The maximum file size depends on your browser and device memory. Since conversions happen locally, the limit is determined by your available RAM. Most desktop browsers can handle files up to 2GB, while mobile browsers may have lower limits. For large video files, our server-side conversion may have additional limits.
Can I convert multiple files at once?
Yes, you can upload and convert multiple files simultaneously. Each file is processed independently, and you can download them individually or as a ZIP archive. There is no limit on how many files you can convert at once.
Does Easy Converter work offline?
After the initial page load — which downloads the WebAssembly conversion modules — image, audio, and document conversions work without an internet connection. The tools are cached in your browser for future use. Video conversions always require an internet connection since they are processed on a server.
Is my data safe when using this converter?
Yes. Images, audio, and documents are processed entirely on your device — your files never leave your computer. We do not collect personal data, use no tracking cookies, and require no accounts. Video files are uploaded to a secure server for processing and are permanently deleted after conversion. We use Plausible Analytics for basic usage statistics, which is fully anonymous and cookie-free.
What browsers does Easy Converter support?
Easy Converter works on all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. WebAssembly is supported by all major browsers. For the best experience, we recommend using the latest version of Chrome or Firefox. Internet Explorer is not supported.
