A FreeConvert alternative with no upload and no minute meter
FreeConvert covers more than 1,500 formats and converts up to 100 files at once. It meters use by conversion minutes and runs everything on its servers. This page sets out where an in-browser converter differs, and where FreeConvert is the better choice.
Minutes vs files
FreeConvert's free tier gives 20 conversion minutes a day, with a 5-minute cap per file; Basic is $12.99 a month for 1,500 minutes. Here there is no meter on converting: it uses your own computer, and you pay only to save a file, $3.49 as a guest. No plan to sign up for, nothing that renews, and the price is shown before you pay. Plans start at $6.99 a month for regular use.
Where your file goes
FreeConvert uploads files to its servers to convert them. This site converts in your browser tab, so nothing is uploaded and nothing waits in a queue.
Technical output
For CNC, laser and embroidery work, this site writes DXF and G-code with real units, PES, DST and JEF embroidery files and sticker cut lines.
Where FreeConvert wins
Breadth and batch size: video, audio, ebooks and archives, and 100 files at a time. For those, it is the better tool.

Questions
Is there a daily limit here?
No daily limit on converting. Without an account, three files at a time and up to 25 MB each; plans raise both.
Can it convert video?
No. Video conversion needs server time, and this site keeps every file in your browser.
