CloudConvert is an online file conversion service that handles 200+ formats across documents, images, audio, video, spreadsheets, slides, ebooks, archives, CAD drawings, vectors, and fonts. Users can convert files straight from the browser without installing software.
The service solves the problem of format incompatibility between different authoring tools and delivery platforms. Unlike desktop-only converters or single-format tools, CloudConvert supports 212 formats across 11 categories and offers both a free web interface and a paid API for automated workflows.
You drop a file onto the web page, select the target format from the format catalog, and click to start the conversion. For automated workflows, you send a POST request to the API specifying import, convert, and export tasks with your source URL, target format, and storage connection.
CloudConvert is suited for anyone who needs reliable file conversion without installing software — from casual users converting one document to developers embedding conversion into production workflows. The free tier supports testing and light use, while paying users get unlimited file sizes, processing time, and concurrent tasks.
Supports 212 file formats across 11 categories including documents, images, video, audio, archives, CAD, and fonts.
Files are removed after processing according to the retention policy; CloudConvert does not sell or mine customer file data.
Build jobs from import, convert and export tasks connected to your own storage and application logic via the /v2/jobs API endpoint.
Image, document, video, and audio jobs expose controls for codec, bitrate, resolution, and quality relevant to the output type.
Organizations can use one central billing account with unlimited team members while files and conversions remain private.
Conversions consume one credit per minute of processing time with base credit costs varying by type; only successful conversions are charged.
Package accounts can be automatically refilled with credits when they run out, configurable in billing settings.
Enterprise tier includes SSO/SAML 2.0, custom security reviews, data processing agreements, and custom contracts.
Packages are one-time purchases where credits never expire. Subscriptions charge a monthly fee for a fixed amount of credits at a lower per-credit price, but unused credits do not roll over at the end of the month. Subscriptions can be up to 50% cheaper than packages.
Yes. Credits from your monthly subscription are consumed first, and then your package credits are consumed.
