CloudConvert is a cool tool that allows you to convert files into a variety of different formats. While that may seem like a limited feature set, it's one of the best utilities on the market for that kind of service, and the sheer number of file types that are supported by CloudConvert make it an incredibly value tool to have in a pinch. The actual process of converting files is a breeze, and the scale of options available means that it's likely the only file converting tool that you'll ever need to own. There's even a free option available for users who aren't going to need deeper features or batch conversion.

While file conversion may seem like a limited and unnecessary service to many users, it's actually a pretty useful thing to have. That's because while some file formats may seem the same on the surface, different formats come packed with unique features. If you're looking at a text file and looking to incorporate the wide wealth of different editing options you'd find in a Word document, you have the option here, but that's just scratching the surface of what CloudConvert can do. At presence time, CloudConvert supports a whopping 214 file types, and that covers practically any medium you could imagine. That includes photos, audio, video, spreadsheets, and text documents. And while CloudConvert can change the format of files on your hard drive, that's not the only source you can pull from. As cloud storage is becoming increasingly prevalent, more and more people are storing their files remotely. CloudConvert allows you to take files from DropBox or Google Drive and convert them directly, and they can also automatically transfer formatted files from your hard drive to cloud storage or vice versa. OneDrive and Box are also supported, and you can upload files directly from a website. You also don't need to download CloudConvert directly onto your device, because the web browser based version will handle everything for you.

Batch converting and folder monitoring are both supported, and CloudConvert allows you to directly alter the advanced features of conversion types like setting the codec of video and audio files. CloudConvert also comes supported by a full API, so you can easily implement its functionality directly into a website and app and incorporate the power of this utility directly into your company's internal or customer-facing software or app.

While CloudConvert offers a free version that allows you to make five conversions concurrently and convert files up to a gigabyte in size. While that will likely be enough for personal users, there are also affordable subscriptions that can scale up to the needs of enterprises. Two options are available. You can either buy packages by the conversion minute or purchase a monthly subscription.
