CloudConvert
Browser file converter for video, audio, documents and images, with a free allowance and paid conversion packages.
About CloudConvert
CloudConvert is a browser-based file converter. Users select a file, choose a target format, and convert it without installing software. The homepage states support for more than 200 formats across documents, images, audio, video, archives, ebooks, spreadsheets, presentations, CAD drawings and fonts.
A developer API lets users chain import, convert and export tasks into jobs and connect them to their own storage and application logic. The homepage states that usage-based pricing and volume discounts are available for production workloads. The directory lists the pricing model as freemium, with a free allowance and paid conversion packages. The source does not state the size of the free allowance or the limits of each paid package.
