I built a free file converter that never uploads your files

Most "free online file converters" quietly upload your files to a server. For personal photos, IDs, contracts or work files, that's a real privacy trade-off — you're handing your data to someone else's server and hoping it gets deleted.

So I built WeLoveConvert around one rule: the conversion runs in your browser, so your files stay on your device instead of being uploaded.

What it does

  • Runs in your browser — files are processed locally, not sent to a server.
  • No sign-up, no watermarks, no file-size paywalls. Just free.
  • Images, video, audio & PDF — JPG to PNG to WebP, HEIC to JPG, MP4 to MP3, MKV to MP4, WAV to MP3 and 30+ more — plus image/PDF/video compression and background removal.
  • 4 languages — English, Spanish, Portuguese and German.

Why I built it

I wanted a converter I'd actually trust with my own photos and documents — where privacy comes from where the processing happens, not from a "we'll delete it later" promise.

I'd love feedback from this community — formats you'd want added, rough edges, anything at all. Thanks for reading! 🙏
