Drop any file and we name it, then offer the one thing you probably came for
Processed in your browser. Nothing is uploaded. Updated on 24 Oct 2026.A file converter that first names what each file actually is, from its bytes rather than its extension, then offers the one conversion you probably came for. Up to 30 files at a time are identified and converted in your browser, so nothing is uploaded and no file leaves your device.
Press Select a file, or drop any file or folder onto the page.
Read what the file really is; the first bytes are checked on your device, not the name.
Read the cost line, for example transparency lost when a PNG becomes a JPG.
Press the main button to open the right converter with your file already in it, or pick another Next step.
Convert Anything is the page to use when you have a file and are not sure what it is or what to do with it. Instead of asking you to pick a tool first, it asks for the file first. The opening bytes are read on your own device, matched against the signature every format carries, and the file is named in plain words: a HEIC photo, a PDF, an Excel workbook, a zip archive. The size is shown next to it, and so is one sentence about what that kind of file is for.
Then it proposes. If only one thing sensibly follows, you get one question and one button: "That is an ICO image. Shall we convert to PNG?" If several things follow, the likeliest is the button and the others are one tap each, never a list of twenty formats to read through. When a conversion costs you something, the cost is stated before you press anything, not discovered in the download: PNG to JPG is smaller, but transparent areas become white.
The name of a file is only a label, and labels get changed, dropped or rewritten by the phone that took the photo. When the name and the bytes disagree, this page says so once and carries on with the truth, so you convert the file you actually have. Drop several at once and they are grouped by what they really are, so you see "3 HEIC photos, 1 PDF" and get one proposal per group rather than a queue of identical questions.
A password-protected PDF, a locked zip or a file encrypted here must be opened first, so unlocking is the only step offered. Photoshop files open in PSD to PNG, fonts in Font Converter, RAR and 7z in the TAR.GZ Extractor. A few lead nowhere, and that is said honestly: camera RAW needs a decoder per manufacturer, and FLAC, OGG and AVI are not read here yet. Each case says why and what to do instead.
Nothing is uploaded and nothing runs on its own. Reading a few bytes to recognise a file is instant; running the job is your decision, which is why there is always a button to press. The file is then carried straight into the tool that does the work, with its options already set.
Drop it on this page. The first bytes are read in your browser and matched against the signature the format carries, so the file is named whatever its extension says. You then get the conversion people usually want for that format as one button, and the alternatives one tap away.
No. Recognising the file reads a few bytes on your own device, and the tools it hands you to also run in your browser. Nothing reaches a server, which is why the answer appears instantly, why it works on a weak connection, and why there is nothing for anyone to delete afterwards.
Drop it here and you will be told. Formats such as PNG, PDF, ZIP and MP4 begin with fixed bytes that identify them no matter what the file is called, so a file with no extension, or with the wrong one, is still recognised correctly and named in plain words.
Because the name is only a label. Phones, download managers and rename operations all change extensions without changing the contents, so a file called photo.png is often really a JPEG. The page says this once, then continues with the real format, so you convert what you actually have.
Camera RAW, and some audio and video formats (FLAC, OGG, AVI). Each one says why and what to do instead: RAW needs a decoder for every camera maker, and those audio and video formats are not read here yet. Photoshop PSD files, fonts, and RAR and 7z archives were once on this list; they now open in PSD to PNG, Font Converter and the TAR.GZ Extractor.
No, and that is deliberate. Dropping a file only identifies it, which costs nothing. The conversion runs when you press the button, so you are never surprised by a job you did not ask for and you always see what it will cost, such as transparency being lost, before it starts.
Recognising a protected file is possible; reading its contents is not. The page names it and sends you to unlock it with the password you already know, and until that is done no other step is offered, because nothing can be read out of a locked file. No tool here guesses or cracks a password, which is the whole point of setting one.
