What is a free alternative to Aconvert that does not upload my files?

Short answer

Aconvert converts files on its servers: its own site describes a fleet of 32 Windows and Linux servers handling hundreds of millions of files converted online. A browser-based converter does everyday image conversions on your own device, so your file is never uploaded.

The key difference: a server fleet vs your browser

Aconvert is a broad online converter, and its own homepage is explicit that it runs on 32 Windows and Linux servers and has converted hundreds of millions of files online. That scale is impressive, but it means your file is uploaded to be processed. A client-side converter handles common image jobs, switching between PNG, JPG and WebP or rasterizing an SVG to PNG, right in your browser, so nothing is sent anywhere.

When the browser option is better

Local conversion is the better fit when the image is private or when you would rather not add a file to a large shared service. Aconvert covers documents, ebooks, video and audio too, so for those formats it is the right tool; for the everyday web image conversions most people need, the free local option covers them with no account and no upload.

Step by step

  1. Open the converter. Open the image format converter or SVG to PNG tool in your browser.
  2. Add your file. Select the image. It is opened locally and never uploaded.
  3. Convert and download. Convert on your device, then download the result.
