What File Types and Tool Categories Does XConvert Support?
XConvert covers eight tool categories — image, video, document, audio, archive, unit conversion, time conversion, and developer utilities — spanning formats such as JPG, PNG, HEIC, WebP, RAW, MP4, MOV, AVI, MP3, WAV, FLAC, PDF, ZIP, RAR, and 7z. The site advertises 5,000+ tools in total, so the categories below are the practical way to find what you need rather than browsing an alphabetical list.
Tool categories at a glance
| Category | What it does | Formats named on the site |
|---|---|---|
| Image | Convert, compress, resize, crop | JPG, PNG, HEIC, WebP, RAW |
| Video | Convert, compress, cut clips, extract audio | MP4, MOV, AVI |
| Document | Merge, split, compress, convert | PDF to Word, PDF to JPG |
| Audio | Convert formats, cut tracks | MP3, WAV, FLAC |
| Archive | Compress and decompress | Zip, RAR, 7z |
| Unit converters | Length, weight, volume, temperature, data size | — |
| Time converters | Time zones, cities, countries | — |
| Other utilities | Encoding/decoding, word counting | Base64, URL encoding |
Image tools
The image category handles the formats most people actually run into: JPG, PNG, HEIC, WebP, and RAW. Within it you get four distinct operations rather than one generic "convert" button:
- Image Converter — change format, with dedicated entry points like a JPG converter
- Image Compressor — separate tools for JPEG, PNG, GIF, and WebP
- Image Resizer — change dimensions
- Crop — trim the frame
The split matters because compressing a PNG and compressing a JPEG behave differently, and XConvert gives each its own tool instead of one setting that treats them the same.
Video tools
Video support centers on MP4, MOV, and AVI, with these operations:
- Video Converter — including a dedicated MP4 converter
- Video Compressor — including a dedicated Compress MP4 tool
- Video Cutter — trim clips
- Video to GIF — including MP4 to GIF
- Audio extraction — pull the audio track out of a video
Document tools
PDF is the anchor here. The site lists merging, splitting, compressing, and converting PDFs to Word, JPG, and other formats. There is also an Images to PDF tool for going the other direction, and an Image to Text tool for pulling text out of an image.
Audio, archive, and utility tools
- Audio — convert between MP3, WAV, and FLAC; cut audio tracks; dedicated compressors for MP3 and WAV
- Archive — compress and decompress Zip, RAR, and 7z for storage or sharing
- Unit converters — length, weight, volume, temperature, data size
- Time converters — between time zones, cities, and countries
- Other utilities — Base64 encoding/decoding, URL encoding, word counting
How to find the right tool
The site is organized so you can start from either direction:
- Start from the task — the homepage has an "I want to:" selector (for example, "Compress") paired with a "To:" format field, plus a search box.
- Start from the category — browse by category if you know you're working with images, video, documents, and so on.
- Use the search box — with 5,000+ tools, searching by format or action is faster than scrolling.
Each category page also lists its most common tools directly, so you can often skip the search entirely — for example, the image section surfaces the JPEG, PNG, GIF, and WebP compressors without any navigation.
What this means for picking XConvert
XConvert is a reasonable fit if your task falls into one of the eight categories above and you want a browser-based tool without installing software. It is less useful if you need a format outside those categories, or if you need to script conversions into an automated pipeline — the site describes an interactive online toolset, not an API.
One caveat worth noting: the site states files are encrypted, transferred over SSL, and automatically deleted from servers within a few hours. If your workflow requires files to never leave your machine, an online converter is the wrong category of tool regardless of which one you pick.
