# File Converter

> Convert and compress audio, video, images, and PDFs with Shorty — in the browser or in the cloud.

Shorty's converter at [aishorty.com/file-converter](https://aishorty.com/file-converter) converts files between formats and includes dedicated compressors:

- Compress audio — `aishorty.com/compress-audio`
- Compress video — `aishorty.com/compress-video`
- Compress images — `aishorty.com/compress-image`
- Compress PDFs — `aishorty.com/compress-pdf`

Each supported conversion also has its own page (for example format-to-format converter pages generated from the same conversion catalog), all reachable from the main converter.

## Cloud conversions

Conversions can run through Shorty's managed cloud queue on every plan — including for guests. Cloud usage is metered on the free side:

| Who | Cloud conversions |
| --- | --- |
| Guest (not signed in) | 5 per rolling 24 hours |
| Free account | 10 per rolling 24 hours |
| Shorty Premium / Pro | Unlimited |

## Size and batch limits

| Limit | Free | Shorty Premium | Shorty Pro |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Max file size | 5 GB | 20 GB | 50 GB |
| Files per batch | 3 | 15 | 50 |

Device mode converts inside your browser, which holds about twice the file in memory, so files over 1.5 GB always convert in Cloud mode. Cloud results of that size download straight to disk.

> **Note:** If a conversion is over your plan's file-size or batch cap, the converter tells you before the job starts — nothing is silently dropped.
