When there is no direct path, it chains the steps for you: • Audio to Word — transcribes the recording, then typesets it • PDF to M4A — turns a document into an audiobook • Photo to Word — reads the text in the image, then writes the document • Video to Excel — pulls out the dialogue with timings • Markdown to PNG — renders your notes as an image • Excel to vCard — turns a contact sheet into contacts Every plan is shown before you commit, so you always know what happened to your file. BUILT IN • On-device text recognition in 15+ languages • On-device transcription to text, SRT or WebVTT • Text to speech in any installed voice • A real batch queue — convert fifty files, get fifty files • Quality, resolution, bit rate, frame rate, page size and encoding controls • Works with Files, Photos, and any app that can share FREE AND PRO Free — every format, 2 conversions a day, 2 files at a time, export up to 1080p. Pro — unlimited conversions, unlimited batch size, 4K and HEVC export. Pro is one payment. Not a subscription, and never a watermark. HONEST ABOUT LIMITS iOS ships no MP3 encoder, so MP3 files can be read but not created. WebP and FLAC are the same — readable, not writable. MKV and WebM cannot be opened at all. The Formats tab tells you exactly what each format can and cannot do before you start, instead of failing halfway through. PRIVACY AnyConvert contains no networking code whatsoever. It collects nothing, uploads nothing, and needs no account. Your files stay on your device, because there is nowhere else for them to go.
