CloudConvert review

CloudConvert is the most thorough web converter on this list. Its format catalog lists 213 formats across 11 categories, from Word and PDF to CAD drawings, fonts, archives and camera RAW files, and each conversion exposes the settings that matter for that output, such as codec, bitrate, resolution and quality. The free plan allows 10 conversions per day with a 1 GB file cap, 5 minutes of processing per task and 5 concurrent tasks, with no credit card required. Paid use runs on credits: most conversions cost 1 credit per minute, while Office to PDF costs 2 and PDF to Office costs 4. You can buy one-time packages whose credits never expire or a cheaper monthly subscription whose credits reset each month. CloudConvert says files are removed after processing and that it does not sell customer file data. Prices were shown in EUR from our location, so the USD price is pending.
