About

A file converter that tells you the truth

FileTools360 converts files on your own device rather than on somebody else's server — and says plainly which conversions it cannot do well, instead of quietly doing them badly. It is built by a named person, published by a registered company, and free in the way that needs no asterisk.

The person behind it

Someone's name is on this

FileTools360 is built and led by Afnan Ahsan, its lead developer and — through BloxLeads Pty Ltd — its co-founder and director. He is responsible for what this product does, for what it refuses to do, and for the decision underneath both: that a file you convert here never leaves the device you converted it on.

He also runs a marketing company, and that turns out to matter more than it sounds. BloxLeads has spent six years buying attention for Australian service businesses across Google, Meta and TikTok — work that makes a person fluent in a very particular kind of dishonesty. The free tool that is not free. The “no watermark” that becomes a watermark at the download step. The upload nobody mentioned until the progress bar appeared. He has spent years on the other side of those pages, and this one is largely an argument against them.

Day to day on FileTools360 that means deciding which conversions ship and which get listed as impossible with the reason attached — 23 of them currently are. It means writing the sentence that warns you a conversion will lose quality before you run it rather than after. And it means making the calls where speed and honesty pull against each other: when a PDF could be squeezed another thirty per cent by quietly degrading a scan, the question asked first is whether the page says so out loud.

Guildford, in the city's west — the address on the privacy page is a real one.

BloxLeads Pty Ltd is a Google Partner and a Google Cloud Partner, with a team of more than twenty. Its own work is lead generation and advertising; 527 free converters that upload nothing are a different kind of thing entirely, and the two do not share your files, because nothing here has your files to share.

The principles

Three rules that shaped everything else

Online converters have a credibility problem. They advertise conversions that quietly produce garbage, upload files to servers with vague retention policies, and stamp watermarks on the output unless you pay. The interesting question was whether you could build one that does none of that.

Never claim a conversion that does not work

23 conversions in the directory are listed as unsupported, each with the specific technical reason and a suggested alternative. Legacy .doc needs software this site cannot run in a browser tab. DRM-protected e-books cannot be converted at all. Saying so is more useful than a spinner that ends in an error — and far more useful than a file that looks converted and is quietly wrong.

Describe what a conversion actually does

JPG to SVG does not vectorise your photograph — it wraps it in an SVG, and the page says exactly that. MP3 to FLAC gives you a bigger file, not better sound, and the page says that too. Every converter that loses something tells you what, before you run it, in a sentence written for that specific pair of formats rather than a generic warning.

Make privacy a property, not a promise

Running conversions on your own device means there is no upload to trust anybody about. You do not have to believe this paragraph: load a converter, turn off your Wi-Fi, and convert a file. It still works. Every other claim on this page is the kind you have to take on faith. That one is not.

What it is

527 working converters and tools across 11 categories: images, video, audio, PDFs, documents, spreadsheets, presentations, data formats, archives, fonts and e-books. Every one of them runs inside your browser. None of them upload your file. There is no account requirement, no watermark, no size gate that appears once you have already chosen a file, and no paid tier waiting behind any of it.

The scope has gaps and the privacy has none, and those are two different facts that are worth keeping apart. Some conversions genuinely need software that cannot run in a browser tab, and this site lists them as impossible rather than routing them somewhere quieter. Where a conversion is offered, it runs on your machine — all of them, without exception.

How it works, in one paragraph

Your file is read into your device's memory, converted there, and handed back to you. Nothing is transmitted, because there is nowhere for it to be transmitted to: this site has no conversion server. That is also why the tools keep working when your connection drops mid-job, and why a 400-page document is limited by your own machine rather than by somebody's free-tier quota.

You can confirm all of that without taking our word for it. Open any converter, disconnect from the internet, and convert something — or watch your browser's network panel while it runs and see that no upload request is ever made. That check takes about ten seconds and is worth more than this entire page.

How much of this is actually tested

Every converter on this site is built on an engine that is exercised against real files in a real browser, with assertions on the bytes that come out rather than merely on nothing having crashed. What is not true, and is worth saying plainly: not every one of the 527 converters has had its individual output checked one by one. They share those engines, and the engines are what gets tested.

The practical consequence for you is small but real. If a conversion behaves oddly, check the result rather than assuming it was verified — and then tell us, because that is now a thing you can do.

What it is not

There is a real company behind this and a real address on the privacy page, which is more than most free converters offer. It does not follow that there is an enterprise here. There is no uptime guarantee, no service level, and no support contract — and no paid plan you can buy, which the pricing page says plainly rather than showing a checkout that goes nowhere.

The site is also young, and the interface will keep changing. None of that touches the conversions themselves, but it would be strange to argue for honesty on this page and then omit it.

The company

Who is accountable for this

A converter that asks you to trust it with your documents should be willing to say who it belongs to and where they are. This is that.

The same company, for the short list set out on the privacy page — an email address and your starred tools if you make an account, and nothing whatsoever about the files you convert.

The fastest way to check any of this

Convert something. Watch the network panel while it happens. Nothing on this page is worth as much as that.
