Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 1,954 reviews, reviewers had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the user experience, describing it as easy, simple, and efficient for file conversions. Many found the service useful for quick tasks and appreciated the ability to pay for one-time conversions at a low cost. Reviewers also highlighted the excellent service and professionalism when dealing with customer issues, noting quick and fair resolutions. However, some customers also noted significant dissatisfaction with the subscription model, often feeling misled regarding recurring payments after an initial low-cost service. People mentioned that the subscription terms were not transparent, leading to unexpected charges of higher amounts after a trial period or single use. This led to frustration regarding payment issues and the perceived problematic aspects of the billing practices.

The tool is okay. My issue was subscribing by accident (it is very easy to activate it accidentally), but Julie from support helped me very quickly and efficiently. Give her a raise!

I would like to thank Jenny for her…

I would like to thank Jenny for her kind and professional support. I had an issue with an unexpected subscription charge, and Jenny handled my request very politely, quickly, and with understanding.
I really appreciate that the refund of 49.95€ has been processed and will be credited back to my original payment method. The situation was stressful for me at first, but Jenny’s helpful response made it much easier.
Thank you very much, Jenny, for your assistance and understanding

Misleading advertising

As many others experienced, I used this service thinking it was a one off payment to convert an image. A few days later I saw I was charged a fee of 65AUD and was signed up to a subscription. When I emailed requesting a refund, I received a generic response about what the subscription gains access to rather than acknowledging what I was asking for. I sent another email asking for a refund 48 hours ago and no response. I am very frustrated as this has caused financial distress to me and I never would have knowingly signed up for this subscription as I cannot afford it and I only used the service once.

smells scammy

I signed up for a €0.60 trial and was later charged €39.95 for a subscription I never intended to keep. I never created an account, never received login information, and never used the service. When I requested a refund, I did not receive a response within the advertised 24-hour timeframe. Their only explanation was that the subscription renewed automatically because it wasn’t canceled during the trial.

Very disappointing experience. Be sure to read the fine print before signing up.

edit: did give back my money but only AFTER a negative review and two emails.

WARNING: Subscription scam

I downloaded a file for 0.6 euro, which seemed like a one-time payment. There was no clear information about any subscription during the purchase. Shortly after, I was charged 40 euros without my consent.

This is a hidden subscription that was never properly disclosed. I did not agree to any recurring payments. This kind of practice is misleading and illegal under EU consumer protection law.

Would not recommend this site to anyone.

Warning: Subscription trap! They charged me €19.95 without consent.


I am writing this to warn others about this company. I was completely tricked into a hidden subscription that I never consented to.They use a highly misleading setup where you think you are paying a tiny fee, but hidden in their terms, they automatically sign you up for an expensive recurring subscription. I have just discovered an unauthorized charge of €19.65 on my card.This is an absolute subscription trap. I have already contacted my bank (ING) to dispute the unauthorized charges, block any future transactions from them, and initiate a chargeback. Do not give this company your card details under any circumstances. They are completely dishonest.

Unclear that a subscription is formed

Unclear that a subscription is formed! Smells super scammy and I can see I'm not the only one...!

Paid a micro payment for converting 3 files - that went well - BUT then 3 days after an insane amount is pulled from my card. Seriously - you have to do this better? My guess is that you aren't fond of handling complaints like this one....? Or?

unintentional/hidden subscription

Last Saturday I converted a soundfile for €0,60 by apple pay. Today (two days later) there is I'm charged with €49,95! I wasn't aware that I was buying a subscription and don't want to. When I discovered this today, I immediately canceled the subscription and e-mailed for a refund. This is another attempt to get my money back.
I haven't used the services and won't. All I wanted was to convert one file for € 0,60 cents.
Please refund €49,95 to my account immediately.
And seeing all the people in the reviews who experienced the same thing, you might want to change this procedure! (If it's not your intention of scamming people)

Regards,
Robin
