What file formats do you support?

We support over 100 file formats including images (JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, TIFF), documents (PDF, DOC, DOCX, TXT), videos (MP4, AVI, MOV), audio (MP3, WAV, FLAC), and many more specialized formats.

Yes, absolutely. We use enterprise-grade encryption for all file transfers. Your files are automatically deleted from our servers after conversion, and we never store or access your personal data.

What is the maximum file size?

The maximum file size for free users is 100MB per file. Premium users can convert files up to 1GB. For larger files, we recommend our batch processing feature.

How long does conversion take?

Most files convert in under 30 seconds. The exact time depends on file size and format complexity. Our advanced algorithms ensure the fastest possible conversion while maintaining quality.

Can I convert multiple files at once?

Yes! Our batch processing feature allows you to upload and convert up to 50 files simultaneously. This is perfect for bulk conversions and saves significant time.

Do I need to create an account?

No account is required for basic conversions. However, creating a free account gives you access to batch processing, file history, and priority support.

Tips and Best Practices

Optimize your conversion workflow with technical recommendations.

Prepare PCD Sources

Check PCD image variant and resolution before converting to determine ideal PNG bit depth
If PCD contains scanner masks, mark those regions so converter can export proper alpha
Inspect any Kodak-specific metadata to decide if it needs manual transfer into PNG text chunks
Normalize white balance on the PCD source to avoid color shifts when decoding into PNG
Trim large borders in PCD to reduce resulting PNG file size and improve mobile sharing

PNG Export Strategy

Choose 8-bit PNG for web delivery to reduce size while preserving color fidelity from PCD
Select 16-bit PNG only when source PCD shows higher-than-8-bit precision and downstream editor supports it
Enable alpha export when PCD mask data is present to preserve transparent regions in PNG
Compress PNG with DEFLATE default settings; avoid extra lossy optimizers if archival fidelity is needed
Consider PNG interlacing when preview speed across slow networks is required for device sharing

Workflow Integration

Import converted PNGs into color-managed editors and verify ICC behavior against original PCD
Use ZIP packaging for batches to preserve converted PNGs and original PCDs together for audits
Test PNGs on target mobile browsers to confirm 16-bit rendering or fall back to 8-bit when necessary
Map PCD capture dates to PNG tEXt chunks if long-term provenance tracking is required
Automate repeated conversions with consistent dimension and bit-depth choices to maintain parity

Verify & Share Securely

Confirm that sensitive Kodak tags were not lost by inspecting PNG metadata after conversion
Process batches in groups of 20–50 PCDs to reduce browser memory spikes and preserve stability
Close other memory-heavy tabs when converting large PCD files to prevent processing failures
Use secure local storage for temporary outputs and delete caches once transfers are complete
When sharing, check whether the destination service strips PNG chunks that contain metadata

Fast Processing

Close unused tabs for maximum throughput.

Client-Side Privacy

No media leaves your device.

Broad Compatibility

Output files work across all operating systems.

Pro Tip

For batch conversions, process in groups of 20-50 files to optimize memory usage and avoid browser slowdowns.
