Private by design — nothing is uploaded

The private CloudConvert alternative

Convert HEIC, PNG, JPG and WEBP, and turn PDFs into images — in your browser, with no upload, no conversion-minutes cap and no account.

Convert a file free No account. Nothing uploaded.

CloudConvert handles a huge range of formats, but it does the work on its servers: your file is uploaded, the free tier caps how many conversions you can run per day, and an account is needed for more. For the common image jobs — opening iPhone HEIC photos, swapping between PNG/JPG/WEBP, or pulling images out of a PDF — that's more friction (and less privacy) than you need.

ClearBG does those conversions right in your browser. Your files never leave your device, there's no daily minutes limit, and there's nothing to sign up for. It won't convert a spreadsheet or a video codec CloudConvert supports — but for images and PDF pages, it's instant, private and free.

Frequently asked questions

Is ClearBG a free CloudConvert alternative?

For image and PDF-page conversions, yes: it converts HEIC, PNG, JPG and WEBP and turns PDF pages into images for free, and unlike CloudConvert it does it in your browser so nothing is uploaded. It doesn't cover documents, audio or video formats.

Can it convert HEIC without uploading?

Yes — the HEIC decoder runs on your device via WebAssembly, so your iPhone photos never leave the browser. Batch conversion and a ZIP download are included.

Is there a daily conversion limit?

No. There's no per-day cap and no account — the work happens locally, so there's nothing to meter.

Export here and keep editing there — your image carries over, with no re-upload.
