Why is FILE2ANY so slow?
FILE2ANY isn't slow - it's efficient and secure! Instead of sending your files to a random server for processing and then sending them back, we process everything directly on your device. This means your files never leave your computer, ensuring 100% privacy and security. While this might take a moment longer for large files, you get the benefit of complete data privacy and no upload/download times.
How does FILE2ANY work?
FILE2ANY uses advanced browser technologies like HTML5 Canvas API, Web Audio API, and WebAssembly to convert files directly in your browser. Your files are processed locally on your device without any server uploads, ensuring complete privacy and security.
Is FILE2ANY really free?
Yes! FILE2ANY is completely free to use with no hidden fees, subscriptions, or registration requirements. You can perform unlimited conversions without any restrictions. We believe file conversion should be accessible to everyone.
Are my files secure and private?
Absolutely! Your files never leave your device. All conversions happen locally in your browser using client-side JavaScript and browser APIs. We don't upload, store, or have access to your files in any way. This is our core privacy promise.
What file formats does FILE2ANY support?
FILE2ANY supports a wide range of formats including: Images (PNG, JPG/JPEG, WebP, GIF, AVIF, SVG, HEIC), Audio (MP3, WAV, OGG, WebM, AAC), Video (MP4, WebM, AVI), and Documents (TXT, CSV, JSON). We're constantly adding more formats based on user needs.
Why should I use FILE2ANY instead of other converters?
FILE2ANY offers unique advantages: 100% privacy (no uploads), completely free, no registration required, works offline after initial load, fast processing, and supports modern formats. Plus, you don't need to worry about file size limits or server downtime.
Do I need to install anything to use FILE2ANY?
No installation required! FILE2ANY works directly in your web browser. However, you can install it as a Progressive Web App (PWA) on your device for faster access and offline functionality.
Can I use FILE2ANY offline?
Yes! Once you've visited FILE2ANY, many conversion features work offline thanks to browser caching and service workers. This makes it perfect for use without internet connectivity.
Is there a file size limit?
FILE2ANY doesn't impose artificial file size limits, but your browser and device memory may limit very large files. Generally, files up to several hundred MB work well, depending on your device's capabilities.
Why does video/audio conversion take longer?
Video and audio files contain much more data than images and require complex processing. FILE2ANY uses WebAssembly and FFmpeg for high-quality conversions, which takes time but ensures professional results while maintaining your privacy.
Can I convert multiple files at once?
Yes! FILE2ANY supports batch processing. You can select multiple files and convert them all at once, saving you time and effort.
What browsers work with FILE2ANY?
FILE2ANY works with all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and their mobile versions. We use standard web technologies supported across all major browsers.
Is FILE2ANY available as a mobile app?
FILE2ANY works perfectly in mobile browsers and can be installed as a PWA on both iOS and Android devices. This gives you app-like functionality without needing to download from app stores.
