FreeConvert alternative no daily minutes, free

FreeConvert's free plan gives you 20 conversion minutes a day, its own pricing page says so.

Burn through those on one video and the rest of your day is spent waiting or paying. ConvertNinja does not meter minutes: the video compressor below runs as many times as you need, up to 1200 MB and 20 minutes a file.

Every converter here is free, full size, no account. Photos convert in your browser and never leave it, except camera RAW files and SVG tracing. Those, like video, audio and e-books, need our server, and we delete them right after.

What FreeConvert's free tier actually gives you

Checked on FreeConvert's own pricing page on 2 October 2026: free web use is capped at 20 conversion minutes per day, with a further limit of 5 minutes per file; FreeConvert itself says that works out to about 20 files a day. That is a minutes budget, not a file-count budget: a couple of longer videos or a big batch of audio and you are done for the day, whether you used ten files or one. Paid plans remove the daily cap but count minutes per month instead: the cheapest, Basic at $12.99 a month, gives 1,500 conversion minutes a month and 1.5 GB files.

None of that is a knock on FreeConvert: it converts far more formats than we do, all in one place, and that breadth costs them server time they have to ration somehow. It just means the free tier is built for the odd file, not for someone converting or compressing things regularly.

FreeConvert and ConvertNinja side by side

FreeConvert column checked 2 October 2026.

Where FreeConvert is better

• Far more formats, documents included: it says more than 1,500 conversions, against our common image, video, audio and e-book set.
• It takes files straight from Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive or a URL, and has advanced options (resize, compress to a target size, auto-orient) on its image converters.
• Its paid plans run up to 100 conversions at a time and have an API; we have neither.

Best for

• FreeConvert: an odd format, a document, or a handful of short files a day.
• ConvertNinja: batches of iPhone photos without uploading them, and compressing longer videos without a minutes budget.

Why people pick ConvertNinja

• No minute counter, on either tool: nothing here is billed by the minute; the only daily count on the site is SVG tracing (3 free)
• Video compression up to 1200 MB and 20 min a file, aimed at a target size instead of a vague quality slider
• HEIC, JPG, PNG and WebP conversion runs entirely inside your browser: no upload at all for those
• No account, no sign-up, no watermark on anything
• A pass, if you ever need bigger files, is €3 for 24 hours or €5 for 30 days, one-off, no subscription, and works on all 11 of our tools

That is the honest scope, not a bigger version of FreeConvert: we do image conversion, a set of video and audio tools and e-books, not the hundreds of formats FreeConvert handles. If you need something outside that, FreeConvert (or another dedicated converter) is still the right tool.

About your file, honestly

The photo converters, HEIC, JPG, PNG, WebP, never leave your device; the browser does the work, so there is nothing to meter and nothing uploaded. The video compressor and the other video, audio and e-book tools are the exception: your clip is uploaded to our own machine, processed there (up to 1200 MB and 20 minutes), and deleted right after. We keep no copy. Two videos process at a time, so at busy moments you may wait a moment for your turn, but never until tomorrow.

The tools this page compares to FreeConvert: HEIC to JPG and PNG to JPG run entirely in your browser, and video compression uploads, as described above.

A different kind of broken file: if what won't open is a PDF, not an image, ScanReviver's repair PDF rebuilds one that's corrupted, cut off mid-download or throwing a viewer error.

Need to edit the text inside a PDF instead of just fix it? ScanReviver's PDF to Word turns it into an editable document.
