What you are allowed to convert

Use Convert Online for files and videos you have the right to convert. That includes your own photos, documents you wrote, and media you were given permission to change. It does not include other people's private scans, paywalled books, DRM-locked ebooks, or YouTube videos you do not own and were not allowed to download. Copyright still applies after a file changes format. A new extension is not a new license.

YouTube tools add a second rule. Use them only for content you own or have permission to save, and follow YouTube's terms. Private and live videos are not a challenge to be solved. If a fetch fails, the answer is not to route around the block.

What the tools promise

The tools are free and they are provided as they are. There is no warranty that a download will match a desktop export, pass a portal's checker, or meet a size cap you did not read. Each tool page states the real limit. A text extract is not a designed page. An enlarged photo is not a sharper original. A re-encoded video is not a lossless remux. PDF/A metadata is not a certified archival file. A signature drawn on a PDF here is an image stamp, not a cryptographic signature.

Do not upload malware, do not use the site to break into anything, and do not send illegal content through the contact form. We may refuse a request that asks us to do those things. We may also update these terms. The date on the page is the version you are reading.

The site can change or remove a tool that the browser cannot honestly perform. Existing addresses stay in place so old links do not break. A page that cannot convert will say so and point at a page that can, or at the desktop app that can. You are responsible for checking the download before you submit it to a school, a court, a client, or a government form.

Your file stays your responsibility

You choose the file, you choose the tool, and you check the download. Do not submit a converted file to a court, a visa desk, or a client until you have opened it. Do not use the site to store anything. There is no archive of your documents here to recover later. Do not try to break, scan, or overload the site. Automated abuse can be blocked. The tools are free for people doing one conversion at a time.

If a law in your country requires a certified PDF/A, a qualified electronic signature, or a notarized copy, use the software or the official process that provides that certification. A browser tool that re-saves a PDF does not become that process because the file extension looks right.

You may link to a tool page. You may not copy the site, the guides, or the tool names into another product and present them as your own service. The tools are for visitors to use in a browser, one file at a time. Scraping every page to build a competing mirror is not use of the service. If a page is unavailable, try again later. Do not hammer the server. The free tools depend on ordinary traffic, not on a flood of automated requests.
