Files
Converting files
Turn images, video, audio and documents into another format, one file or many at a time, within a daily allowance and a maximum input size per plan.
On this page
Select a file and press Convert in the toolbar, or right-click it. A single file offers Convert to with the common targets straight in the menu; the full panel gives you every reachable format plus the options that format supports, such as quality, resolution or bitrate. Conversion runs on hardware we operate ourselves, so files are not handed to an outside conversion service.
What converts into what#
- Images: JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, BMP, TIFF, GIF, ICO, TGA and PPM, in from HEIC, PSD and every common RAW format as well.
- Video: MP4, WebM, AVI, MOV, MKV, FLV, WMV, M4V, OGV and 3GP. A video can also be turned into images, either one still or a sequence of frames at a rate you choose.
- Audio: MP3, WAV, FLAC, AAC, OGG, Opus, M4A, WMA and AIFF.
- Documents: PDF, DOCX, ODT, TXT, HTML, Markdown, RTF and EPUB.
Formats stay within their family: a video becomes another video or a set of frames, a document becomes another document. Converting a spreadsheet into a Nemi Sheet is a different job, done with Open as Nemi Sheet in the right-click menu.
The daily allowance#
Conversions are counted in units rather than in files, because transcoding an hour of video is not the same work as resizing a photograph. The panel shows what a job will cost before you start it and what you have left today.
| Plan | Units per day | Largest file to convert | Formats at once |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | Not available | Not available | Not available |
| Starter | 20 | 1 GB | 1 |
| Creator | 100 | 2.5 GB | 2 |
| Pro | 200 | 10 GB | 3 |
| Max | 500 | 15 GB | No limit |
| Business | 2,000 | 50 GB | No limit |
One image or document output costs 1 unit, an audio output 2 and a video output 5, per file. Turning a video into a sequence of frames is priced on how many frames you ask for. The count resets at midnight UTC.
Picking several output formats multiplies the cost, because each one is a separate conversion. Selecting several files does the same. The allowance belongs to the owner of the workspace you are working in, so converting inside a colleague's workspace spends theirs.
Where the result lands#
Convert
Shown before you start, together with what is left of today.
The original is never touched or replaced. When one job produces several files, either because you asked for several formats or because a video became a frame sequence, they arrive as a single ZIP.
Stopping one, and when it goes wrong#
- A conversion in progress can be cancelled, and a cancelled job costs you no units. If you do not see a cancel button, it has not been switched on for your account yet.
- "The size of this file could not be determined" means the source is not stored in Nemi. Upload it first, then convert it from your workspace.
- A file that exceeds your plan's conversion size is refused before any work starts, so it costs nothing.
- If the conversion service is busy or unreachable you get a plain error and no units are spent. Try again in a few minutes.
