How SwiftConvert Works

Step 1: Upload Your File

Start by uploading the file you want to convert. You have two options:

• Drag and Drop: Simply drag your file from your computer and drop it onto the upload area
• Click to Browse: Click the upload area to open your file browser and select a file

You can upload multiple files at once for batch processing. The free tier supports files up to 5MB each.

Step 2: Choose Output Format

Select the format you want to convert your file to. SwiftConvert supports these output formats:

• JSONL: JSON Lines - one JSON object per line, perfect for datasets
• CSV: Comma-separated values, ideal for spreadsheets
• JSON: Pretty-printed JSON for APIs and applications
• XML: Structured XML format
• YAML: Human-readable YAML format

Step 3: Enable Auto-Fix (Optional)

SwiftConvert can automatically detect and fix common errors in your files. This feature is enabled by default and handles:

• JSON syntax errors (missing quotes, trailing commas)
• CSV column inconsistencies
• XML tag problems
• Encoding issues
• Corrupt file headers

You can toggle this feature off if you want the raw conversion without fixes.

Step 4: Click Convert

Click the "Convert Files" button to start the conversion process. SwiftConvert will:

1. Analyze your file to detect the format
2. Scan for errors and fix them (if auto-fix is enabled)
3. Extract metadata and content
4. Convert to your chosen output format
5. Prepare the file for download

This entire process typically takes just a few seconds.

Step 5: Download Your File

Once conversion is complete, you'll see a download button for each converted file. You can:

• Download files individually by clicking the download button
• Download all files at once using "Download All"

Download links are available for 1 hour. After that, files are automatically deleted for your privacy.

What Happens Behind the Scenes

When you convert a file with SwiftConvert, our system performs several operations:

1. Format Detection

We analyze the file's header bytes and extension to accurately identify the format, even if the extension is wrong.

2. Error Detection

Our system scans for common issues like corrupt data, encoding problems, and syntax errors.

3. Auto Repair

If errors are found and auto-fix is enabled, we attempt to repair them automatically.

4. Metadata Extraction

We extract relevant metadata depending on the file type (duration, dimensions, author, etc.).

5. Content Conversion

The file content is converted to your chosen output format with proper encoding.

6. Security Cleanup

After download, files are automatically deleted. No copies are kept.

Premium Files (Over 5MB)

If your file exceeds the 5MB free limit:

1. You'll see a notification about the file size
2. Choose to purchase credits for that file type
3. Complete payment through Razorpay
4. Your file will be converted immediately

Credits are category-specific: video credits for videos, audio credits for audio, etc.
