An online file converter from QaamGo Media GmbH in Germany, covering audio, video, images, documents, ebooks, archives, CAD files and more, with a credits-based pricing model.

When Online-Convert is the better choice
Online-Convert is the better choice when you need a format Anyfile does not open (it lists CAD, ebook and device converters), OCR, files above Anyfile’s size limits (its paid plans list up to 64 GB), larger batches (up to 200 files), or a team plan with shared credits. Anyfile suits one-off conversions and edits where the file should stay on your device.
