Convert any file. Keep it private.
Most video, audio, image and PDF conversions run in your browser, so those files never leave your device. Office documents, e-books and design files such as PSD use our server, which deletes your file the moment it is converted.

Why TapToConvert
Built to keep your files private
Most converters upload your file to a server. This one does the work on your own device, which changes what is possible.
Private by design
Most files are converted inside your browser tab and never uploaded. The few that need a server, such as Word and e-books, are deleted the moment they are converted.
No limits, no sign-up
No account and no watermark. Browser conversions have no quota or size cap; server conversions accept files up to 25 MB.
Works offline
Once the page and converter have loaded you can switch off Wi-Fi and keep converting. Your connection speed stops mattering.
Every device
Works in Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox on Windows, Mac, iPhone, iPad, Android and Chromebook, with nothing to install.
Formats
Popular formats, explained
- MP4
MPEG-4 Part 14 video
MP4 is the most widely supported video format, and H.264 video with AAC audio inside it plays on essentially every device made in the last fifteen years.
MP4 converter → - MP3
MPEG-1 Audio Layer III
MP3 is the most widely supported audio format there is, which is its whole appeal.
MP3 converter → - HEIC
High Efficiency Image Container
iPhones save photos as HEIC because it is roughly half the size of an equivalent JPG.
HEIC converter → - PDF
Portable Document Format
A PDF fixes the layout of every page so it looks the same on any device.

Why in the browser
No upload, no queue, no size cap
Most online converters upload your file to their server, convert it there and send it back. That costs you the upload time, puts a copy of your file on someone else's computer, and forces the site to limit file sizes to control its costs.
TapToConvert does the work on your device instead. Images are converted by your browser's own image engine. Audio and video are converted by ffmpeg, the open-source tool behind most video software, compiled to WebAssembly so it runs inside the page. The engine downloads once, about 32 MB, and your browser keeps it.
The trade-off is speed when a video has to be re-encoded: your laptop or phone does the work, not a server farm, so a long HD video can take several minutes. Photos, audio files and container changes such as MOV to MP4 finish in seconds, and your files stay yours.
FAQ
Questions about TapToConvert
Is TapToConvert really free?
Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark, no limit on the number of files and no size cap set by a server. The site is supported by advertising, and because every conversion runs on your own device, there is no server cost per file to recover.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Files are read by your browser and converted inside the page. They are never sent to our servers or to anyone else, and they disappear when you close the tab.
Which file formats are supported?
Video formats such as MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM and AVI; audio formats such as MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC and AAC; and images such as JPG, PNG, HEIC, WebP, GIF, TIFF, SVG and PDF pages. Word, Excel and EPUB are not offered, because they cannot be converted faithfully inside a browser.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. The converter runs in Safari on iPhone and iPad and in Chrome on Android. Converted files are saved to your Downloads folder.
Why is converting video slower than images?
Video has to be re-encoded frame by frame, and that work runs on your own processor rather than a server. Container changes such as MOV to MP4 take seconds; full re-encodes of long HD videos can take several minutes.
Is there a file size limit?
Not from us. The practical limit is the memory your browser allows one tab, around 2 GB on a computer and less on a phone.
