Getting Started with Konvrt

A quick guide to converting your first file, setting up batch processing, and making the most of Konvrt's features.

Getting Started with Konvrt

Konvrt is a browser-based file converter. Your files never leave your device — everything is processed locally using WebAssembly. Here's how to get started.

Converting a Single File

  1. Go to the converter page
  2. Drag and drop a file, or click to browse
  3. Select your desired output format
  4. Adjust quality if needed (for images)
  5. Click Initiate Conversion
  6. Download your converted file

That's it. No account required for up to 5 conversions per day.

Supported Formats

Konvrt handles three categories of files:

Images

JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, BMP, HEIC, TIFF, SVG, ICO — with quality control and format-specific options.

Video

MP4, MOV, WebM, AVI, MKV, FLV, WMV — powered by FFmpeg running as WebAssembly in your browser.

Audio

MP3, WAV, OGG, FLAC, AAC, M4A, WMA — same FFmpeg engine, same local processing.

Quality Settings

For image conversions, you'll see a quality slider. Here's a rough guide:

  • 90-100 — Visually lossless. Best for archiving or professional work.
  • 75-89 — Great balance. Most people won't notice a difference.
  • 50-74 — Noticeable compression. Good for web thumbnails or quick sharing.
  • Below 50 — Heavy compression. Small file sizes but visible artifacts.

Batch Processing (Pro)

If you need to convert multiple files at once, the batch processor lets you:

  • Upload up to 100 images (500 on Team plan)
  • Apply the same format, quality, and resize settings to all files
  • Add watermarks
  • Crop to specific aspect ratios
  • Download everything as a ZIP

Batch processing is available on the Pro plan.

Saving Presets (Pro)

If you frequently use the same batch settings — say, converting to WebP at 85% quality with a watermark — you can save that as a preset. Next time, load the preset and skip the configuration.

Presets are stored locally in your browser.

Free Plan Limits

The free tier includes:

  • 5 conversions per day
  • All common formats
  • 25 MB file size limit per file

Need more? The Pro plan is a one-time $19 purchase — unlimited conversions, no file size limits, and batch processing.

Tips

  • Use WebP for web images — it produces smaller files than JPG at the same quality
  • Use FLAC for audio archiving — lossless compression, no quality loss
  • Use MP4 with H.264 for video — widest compatibility across devices and platforms
  • Enable auto-download in the sidebar to skip the manual download step
