What CloudConvert is
CloudConvert is a web service that converts files, images among many other formats, by uploading them to its servers for processing. It supports a very wide range of formats and works from any device with a browser, with a free tier limited by a monthly credit allowance.

When CloudConvert might be the better choice
If you need a format FlexiPic doesn't cover, or you're not on a Mac, CloudConvert's breadth and device independence genuinely win. It's also fine for a one-off conversion of non-sensitive files.
When FlexiPic fits better
For photos you'd rather not upload anywhere, client work, personal photos, anything with location or identifying data in it, or for regular batch jobs where a monthly credit limit gets in the way, keeping the conversion local removes both concerns.
Convert images without uploading them anywhere
FlexiPic converts and resizes images locally on your Mac, with no upload and no usage limits.

Is CloudConvert safe for sensitive images?
Files are uploaded to a third-party server for processing, so if that's a concern for a particular file, a local tool avoids the question entirely.
Does FlexiPic have a file size or count limit?
No, conversion happens locally so there's no credit system or upload cap.
Can FlexiPic convert PSD files?
Yes, PSD is one of the supported input formats.
