Convert to it! supports a wide range of file formats across multiple categories. This page lists all formats defined in the codebase, along with their technical details.
The actual conversion capabilities depend on the handlers available. Not all format pairs can be converted directly - the tool uses multi-step routing to bridge gaps.

Conversion Handlers

Behind the scenes, Convert to it! uses over 60 specialized handlers to perform conversions:

​
Format Categories

Formats are organized into the following categories:

Vector

Scalable graphics: SVG

Video

Motion pictures: MP4, GIF (animated)

Audio

Sound files: MP3, WAV, OGG, FLAC

Archive

Compressed files: ZIP

Spreadsheet

Tabular data: XLSX

Presentation

Slide decks: PPTX

Font

Typefaces: TTF, OTF, WOFF, WOFF2
Not all format combinations can be converted. The tool attempts to find a route through intermediate formats, but some conversions may not be logically possible (though Convert to it! will try its best!).

​
Cross-Category Conversions

One of Convert to it!‘s unique features is the ability to convert between different media types:
  • Video to Image: Extract frames from videos as PNG/JPEG
  • Image to PDF: Embed images in PDF documents
  • Audio to Image: Visualize audio waveforms as images
  • Text to Executable: Convert batch scripts to EXE files
  • Font to Image: Render font glyphs as images
  • Almost anything to HTML: Embed content in HTML pages
The tool is designed to “just work” - even if a conversion seems unusual, give it a try! The graph traversal algorithm often finds creative routes between formats.
