HexaConverter

Everything HexaConverter can do

43 formats and 270 conversion routes, handled by the encoder best suited to each job.

Built to be dependable

The details that decide whether a conversion tool is usable at work.

Professional encoders

libvips for images, ffmpeg for audio and video, LibreOffice for office documents and Poppler for PDF rendering — the same tools used in production pipelines.

Content verification

Every upload is identified by its magic bytes and checked against its extension, so a renamed or malformed file is rejected before it reaches an encoder.

Automatic deletion

Source files are removed the moment a conversion finishes and outputs are purged on a schedule. Nothing lingers.

Metadata stripping

EXIF data, including GPS coordinates and camera serial numbers, is removed from images by default.

Batch processing

Queue multiple files with one output format and settings. Progress is reported per file.

Encoding controls

Quality, resolution, bitrate, sample rate, frame rate, DPI and compression level — tuned defaults, adjustable when it matters.

Signed downloads

Download links are short-lived and cryptographically bound to a single conversion, so they cannot be guessed or reused.

Runs anywhere

One container, a PostgreSQL database and any S3-compatible bucket. Deploy on your own infrastructure if you prefer.

Live progress

Conversions report real encoder progress, not a fake spinner, and long jobs can be cancelled mid-run.
