Our Story

Built for people who care about quality

Arc was born out of frustration. Every file converter on the internet felt like a trap — cluttered with ads, demanding sign-ups, and designed to extract rather than serve. We decided to build the converter we always wanted to use.

The problem with file converters

File conversion is one of the most common tasks on the internet. Millions of people every day need to convert a HEIC photo from their iPhone, turn a DOCX into a PDF, or extract audio from a video. Yet the tools available feel like they were designed in 2005 and never updated.

Arc is our answer to that. A converter that respects your time, your privacy, and your intelligence. One that looks as good as the files you're creating.

Our values

Speed First

We believe file conversion should be instant. No loading screens, no queues, no waiting.

Privacy Always

Your files are yours. We process locally when possible and never store your data.

Design Matters

We believe tools can be beautiful. Great design isn't a luxury — it's a standard.

Open Access

Powerful tools shouldn't require a subscription. Arc's core is free, forever.
