How it works

Drop your file

Only its name and extension are checked.

See the conversions available

Just the tools that actually convert this file's format.

Pick the one you need

Straight to the converter, ready to use.

One entry point for every format conversion

This catalog has a dedicated converter for a lot of specific format pairs — image formats, PDF to text, JSON to CSV, and more — which is great once you know the tool exists, and a bit of a guessing game if you don't. This page removes the guessing: drop your file, and it shows only the conversion tools that actually apply to that file's type, saving a trip through the categories and the need to remember any tool's exact name.

Conversions only, not everything else

Unlike the broader what can I do with this file page, which lists every kind of tool for a file type, this one sticks strictly to conversions — turning the file into a different format. If you want the full range of things you can do with a file, including editing and inspecting it, that page is the better starting point.

Supported file types

Common image formats, PDF, SVG, CSV, JSON, Markdown and plain text are recognized by extension and matched to their available conversions. Formats without a matching converter in the catalog yet are said so plainly, rather than shown an empty or misleading result, so you always know where you stand.

Growing as the catalog grows

As new format converters get added to the catalog over time, more file types get covered here too, so it's worth a second look later even if your exact format isn't matched yet today, rather than assuming it never will be added.

Frequently asked questions

How does this know what conversions are available?
It reads the file's extension and matches it against the catalog's own conversion tools — nothing about the file's content is checked.
What's the difference between this and "what can I do with this file"?
This page only shows format conversions; the other page shows every kind of tool — editing, inspecting, converting — that applies to the file.
What if there's no conversion for my file type?
It says so directly and points you to the broader tool-finder pages instead of showing nothing or guessing.
Does this convert the file itself here?
No, this page only points you to the right converter; the actual conversion happens on that tool's own page.
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No. Only the file name is checked here, and the actual conversion afterward happens entirely in your browser too.
Can I convert PDFs here, not just images?
Yes, dropping a PDF shows conversions to image, text, Markdown, Word and PDF/A.
