It offers tools for audio, video, images, documents, archives, presentations, fonts, and ebooks, along with OCR for scanned documents and images. Conversions run in the cloud, and most conversion types offer advanced settings; video options can include quality, aspect ratio, codec, rotation, and flipping. OCR can create editable Word, PDF, Excel, and text outputs, with up to 10 pages available before signup. Files can be selected from Google Drive, Dropbox, a URL, or a computer. Convertio says input and temporary files are deleted immediately after conversion and output files after 24 hours, with earlier manual deletion available. It supports batch conversion and offers a Conversion API and Chrome extension. Platforms listed include web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and API. A free plan is available.

Web to PDF turns a webpage URL into a file for offline sharing or record keeping. It can produce PDF, JPG, PNG, GIF, or TIFF files, and lists additional conversions from HTML, HTM, or MHT to PDF and PDF to HTML. Page controls cover size, orientation, margins, and zoom, including custom dimensions. Other settings include print layout, removing JavaScript or links, page numbers, grayscale, bookmarks, and a configurable wait time. Its Chromium-based engine can render page content updated by JavaScript. For PDFs, users can apply a text watermark, set a password, or prevent extraction and printing. No account or email is needed. The service says files are machine processed without human review and transferred over HTTPS, but advises against submitting highly sensitive or critical files. Files can remain available for up to one hour, and login-required pages are unsupported. The FAQ says conversions are free, though terms allow frequency limits tied to usage and server capacity.
