Free file converter

Convert files into the right format with a free file converter, then compress them with SimpleSize.

Convert files to the format you need

A file converter changes the format of a file so that a phone, an editor, a website or an email accepts it. The audio and video converters below are free with no signup, and each one opens in a single step: drop the file, pick the format, download the result. The image and PDF converters open on our sister sites.

Converting is usually the first half of the job. Once the file has the format you need, compress it here to get a size that fits the limit you are working against.

Pick the format by where the file goes

  • Where it goes

    A phone or a TV

    Format to pick

    MP4 with H.264 for video, and MP3 or M4A for audio, because almost every device plays them.

  • Where it goes

    A web page

    Format to pick

    WebM for video and a short silent loop as GIF; both play in a page without a plugin.

  • Where it goes

    An editor or an archive

    Format to pick

    WAV, FLAC or AIFF for audio, because they keep every sample. Keep the original as well, since a conversion to a lossy format cannot be undone.

  • Where it goes

    An email or an upload form

    Format to pick

    Pick the format the form lists, then compress the result so it fits the size limit.

Yes. The audio converter takes a video file and keeps the sound of its first audio track.

The format sets how much a file can shrink. Convert to the format you need first, then compress that file, so the size you end up with is the size of the file you send.
