Novus Convert launch: private file conversion with verified outputs

Today we are adding Novus Convert to the Novus Stream Solutions portfolio. It is a free, browser-first file converter built for the jobs people actually repeat: changing supported image formats, compressing images, moving structured data between active formats, repackaging common archives, and processing a mixed queue without uploading supported files to a remote conversion service.

The most important word in that description is supported. File-converter sites often advertise a wall of extensions as though listing a format and converting it were the same thing. Novus Convert keeps those ideas separate. The directory can explain a common format, but an upload workflow appears only when this release can create a real output and validate it before download.

The active input set is HEIC, HEIF, AVIF, JPG, PNG, WebP, SVG, JSON, CSV, TSV, TXT, ZIP, TAR, and TAR.GZ. Image routes convert into the currently exposed JPG, PNG, and WebP outputs. The compression surface re-encodes JPG, PNG, and WebP with adjustable quality and a measured result size. Structured-data routes cover the live JSON, CSV, TSV, and TXT combinations, while archive routes move between ZIP, TAR, and TAR.GZ.

The sitemap contains dedicated pages for the active conversion pairs, which gives each working job a clear entry point without pretending the broader format reference library is already implemented. Formats such as video, office documents, ebooks, CAD, and fonts remain guides in this release unless and until a converter can produce and verify them honestly.

A queue does not need to be uniform. You can add an HEIC photo, a JSON export, and a ZIP archive, then select JPG, CSV, and TAR.GZ for those rows independently. Successful files remain downloadable when another row fails, and retrying one file does not throw away the work already completed elsewhere in the batch.

That per-file model is a small interaction decision with a large practical effect. Real folders are messy. A converter should accommodate the work as it arrives instead of making the user build a separate session for every extension.

Every conversion currently available in the interface runs in browser memory. HEIC and HEIF decoding uses a lazy-loaded local WebAssembly worker; standard image, structured-data, and archive paths use browser-side processing. Results live behind temporary object URLs that disappear when a job is removed or the page closes.

Local processing alone is not enough. Novus Convert checks the expected signature, container, or decodability before enabling download. A malformed input, encrypted file, unsupported codec, or invalid result fails rather than receiving a convincing new extension. The product promise is not that every file can be converted. It is that an enabled download has passed the checks for the output it claims to be.

Archive conversion treats inputs as untrusted. The active ZIP, TAR, and TAR.GZ paths reject path traversal, cap entry counts and expansion, verify TAR checksums, and validate the resulting container. Those checks protect the browser from unsafe paths and archive bombs while keeping the work local.

Current archive inputs can be up to 200 MB compressed, contain no more than 5,000 entries, and expand to no more than 512 MB. Image and structured-data routes have their own memory safeguards: 100 MB and 80 megapixels per image, and 25 MB for text or structured data.

Novus Convert is free to use and does not hide the core conversion or download behind a subscription. It does have per-format daily download allowances, tracked in the browser by local calendar day, alongside the size and expansion safeguards. The interface shows the remaining allowance where it matters instead of describing the product as unlimited.

That honesty is part of the same design system as output validation. We would rather state the active routes and their boundaries precisely than publish a larger claim that the product cannot consistently keep.

Novus Convert joins the NSS Background Remover, Novus Visualizers, and Novus PDF Studio. The portfolio now covers image preparation, creator video, PDF forms, and everyday file conversion. Each app remains focused on its own job, while the hub connects its documentation, tool map, tutorials, and product notes.

Open convert.novusstreamsolutions.com to try it. For the exact current inventory, use Tool maps. For a complete first workflow, follow How to convert and compress files privately with Novus Convert. As new converters become real and verifiable, the live product, documentation, and tool map will expand together.
