Check whether your tool runs in-browser or uses a short server step (Office conversions often upload over HTTPS—see the tool page)
If your file won't upload, check the following:
Large files or complex documents may take longer. Close other browser tabs, ensure stable internet connection, and be patient. If processing exceeds 5 minutes, try splitting the file or reducing its complexity.
Verify source file quality first. Use original, high-resolution files. Check tool settings for quality options. For scanned documents, ensure original scan quality is good. Some quality loss is normal with compression tools.
If download fails, check browser download settings, ensure sufficient disk space, and try right-clicking the download link to "Save As". Clear browser cache if downloads consistently fail.
Many tools process locally in your browser. If a conversion needs our servers (common for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and some HTML), the file is sent over HTTPS, processed, and not kept afterward—see this tool’s page for details.

This depends on the specific tool. Check the tool interface for batch processing options. Some tools support multiple files while others process one at a time.
If processing fails, you'll see an error message with details. Common causes include unsupported file formats, file corruption, or browser issues. Try refreshing the page, checking your file, or using a different browser.
Yes, the maximum file size is 100MB per file. This limit ensures optimal performance and browser stability. For larger files, consider splitting them first or using compression.
