FAQ

How it works

What are the limitations?

Extremely large JSON files may freeze the tab. The tool validates syntax only — it does not resolve schema or remote references. Binary or non-UTF-8 content is not supported.

Is this tool free to use?

Yes. This tool is free convert online with no signup. Processing stays in your browser — no uploads.

Will I lose quality?

You control quality settings. Choose higher quality for no quality loss when converting online.

100% browser-based & private

Every conversion runs inside your browser tab using JavaScript and Web Workers. There is no background server queue and no account is required for core tools.

Your files are never uploaded to FreeConvertKit for processing. Originals, previews, and exports stay on your device unless you choose to download or share them yourself.

When codecs or AI models are needed, WebAssembly modules such as FFmpeg.wasm and Transformers.js execute locally — giving you desktop-class power with absolute file privacy.
