About Convert In Place
Free converters and plain guides for everyday file jobs, built so your files never have to leave your device.
What this site is
Convert In Place is a set of converters for the jobs people run into all the time: opening an iPhone photo on a PC, shrinking an image to fit a form, putting scans into one PDF, or copying text out of a screenshot. Next to each tool there is an explanation of the formats involved, and a growing set of guides answers the questions behind them.
Why it works in your browser
Many online converters upload your file to a server. Here the conversion runs on your own device, so photos, scans and documents are not sent anywhere. That is better for privacy and often faster, because nothing has to travel over the network. The how it works page lists the open source libraries used and shows how to check for yourself that nothing is uploaded.
How the site is run
Convert In Place is an independent project. The converters are free to use, with no account and no watermark. Our rules for writing and correcting content are described in the editorial policy.
Independence
Convert In Place is not affiliated with Apple, Google, Microsoft, Adobe or any other format owner. Names are used only to describe compatibility.
