- Is Decant free?
- Yes. There are no ads, no paid tier, no account and no limit on how many files you convert. The code is open source under the MIT licence.
- Are my files uploaded anywhere?
- No. Everything happens inside your browser tab. The page’s security policy only allows connections back to decant.dev, so the browser would block any attempt to send your files elsewhere.
- Is there a file size limit?
- Only your device’s memory. Very large videos are written to the browser’s private storage instead of being held in memory.
- Does Decant work offline?
- Yes. Once the page has loaded, any converter you’ve used keeps working without a connection.
- Which formats can Decant convert?
- 49 formats across images, audio, video, documents, ebooks and spreadsheets, with 343 conversions between them, including HEIC, WebP, MP4, MOV, MP3, PDF, EPUB, MOBI, Word and Excel files.
- Can Decant convert Kindle books?
- Yes. DRM-free MOBI and AZW3 books convert to EPUB, PDF and more, and EPUB converts to MOBI for older Kindles. Books with Kindle Store DRM can’t be converted.
- Which browsers does Decant work in?
- Current versions of Chrome, Edge and Safari, including Safari on iPhone. It’s tested in Chrome and in WebKit, Safari’s engine, and Edge shares Chrome’s engine. Firefox isn’t tested yet.
- Who makes Decant, and how does it make money?
- Joshua Fitz-Morris, a software engineer in Vancouver. The code is on GitHub. It doesn’t make money: it’s a static site with no servers to pay for, so it stays free. If you find it useful, you can buy him a coffee.
