That's why I always prefer an offline converter. Also if your upload a file somewhere the website can save it for their own purpose alhough they say they won't do it.

Which offline converter? I find myself often trying to convert:

  • PDF to JPEG
  • AVC to MP4
  • OPUS to MP3

etc. I have no idea how to do that but if I type it into a search engine there's usually tools there.

In Windows, Foobar2000 does easy audio file conversions, once you have installed the relevant codecs.
