What type of file formats can the selected file be converted to?
The system automatically detects the file format and lists the available target format types.
Why my conversion has failed?
We support a lot of file formats but there are few reasons that might cause this failure:
  1. Your source file is corrupted: Sometimes the original file is missing some metadata that is essential to the existent of the file, this can happen due to a sudden stop while recording HD is full, power cut, etc. In this case, we are afraid that the file is useless.
  2. Your source file is encrypted.
  3. Your file contains some codecs that cannot be converted.
  4. Our converter doesn’t identify your format. In this case please contact us attaching your file, and we'll do our best to find a solution.
How long do the downloaded links remain effective before expiry?
The links will remain effective for 24 hours.
Why my file is downloaded as a zip file?
Sometimes the conversion process will result in more than one file (e.g multi-page PDF to JPG images). Therefore, the files will be downloaded in a compressed zip file containing all the resulting files.
How many times can I download my converted file?
You can download your converted file as many times as you like, as long as you are within the allowed time limit (which is 24 hours).
How many files can I select at a time?
It depends on your subscription type. Each type has its limit of allowed file conversions per day. However, you cannot post more than 50 files a time. If you want to convert more files (and your subscription type allows more files to be converted that day), you can return back to the conversion page and post more files.
