# A FreeConvert alternative that converts in your browser

ToolSugar is our product. We are not affiliated with FreeConvert. We checked its public pages on 2026-11-07, and its limits and prices can change.

ToolSugar is a FreeConvert alternative for converting and compressing video and audio, with no conversion minutes to count. Your device does the encoding, so a slow device takes longer. FreeConvert's paid plans take files up to 5 GB, far larger than our limits.

## Questions

### What does FreeConvert's free plan allow?

Its pricing page lists 20 conversion minutes a day and 5 per file, with no account needed.

### How large a video can ToolSugar compress?

120 MB, or 60 MB on a phone, because the encoding runs in your browser's memory. Pick 720p or 480p and the Smaller file setting for a smaller result.
