Generous Allocations
With 10,000 monthly credits and up to 10,000 in your loyalty wallet, Pro users have 20,000 credits available. Business users have 30,000 monthly plus 30,000 loyalty—60,000 credits total.
Most image conversions cost 1 credit per file. The generous allocations and rollover mean you're unlikely to run out during normal use.
Why Not Truly Unlimited?
Convert.FAST runs on dedicated high-performance servers. "Unlimited" plans attract users who would monopolize 100% of compute capacity—uploading tens of thousands of files daily, running automated scripts, or using the service as free infrastructure. This would slow down processing for everyone else.
Credits create a soft boundary: generous enough that you'll never notice it, firm enough that no single user can degrade the experience for others.
The Math Works Out
Here's what each tier actually gets:
| Tier | Monthly Credits | Max Rollover | Total Available |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pro | 10,000 | 10,000 | 20,000 |
| Business | 30,000 | 30,000 | 60,000 |
Most image conversions cost 1 credit per file. The generous allocations and rollover mean you're unlikely to run out during normal use.
How Credits Work
For most converters, pricing is simple:
- Images & single-output docs — usually 1 credit per 25 MB of input
- Multi-output docs (PDF/Word → JPG/PNG) — usually 1 credit per 10 pages
- Audio & video-to-audio — billed by duration, around 1 credit per minute of content
Heavier or more complex conversions may cost more credits. We always show the exact credit cost before you start a batch, so there are no surprises.
Room for the Future
We're building a credit system that can grow with user needs. Potential future features include:
- Full video transcoding — Video-to-video format conversion
- AI-powered features — Image upscaling, audio-to-text transcription, video-to-text, text-to-audio, and more
The credit system lets us add compute-intensive operations without changing the core model—expensive features simply cost more credits, keeping basic conversions affordable.

Fair Scheduling
Our fair scheduler ensures no single user can block the queue. Paid tiers get priority (Business → Pro → Free), but within each tier, jobs are distributed fairly. Even if one user uploads 1,000 files, your conversions still process promptly.
This is the other half of the credit equation: credits prevent resource hoarding at the account level, while the fair scheduler prevents queue monopolization at the processing level. Together, they ensure fast, reliable conversions for everyone.
Summary
Credits aren't about limiting you—they're about ensuring Convert.FAST stays fast for everyone. With generous monthly allocations, 2× rollover, and per-converter transparency, the system is designed so you'll rarely think about credits at all.
