CloudConvert runs your conversion on its servers. Filemorph runs it on the device that already holds the file, so nothing is uploaded and it works with no connection at all.
If you have ever paused before dragging a contract, a scan of your ID or a private video into a browser tab, this page is for you. CloudConvert is a capable service. It is also, by design, an upload: your file travels to their server, is converted there, and comes back. Their pages say files are deleted after processing and at the latest after 24 hours.
Filemorph takes the other route. Every conversion runs on your iPhone, iPad or Mac using Apple's own media frameworks. There is no server in the path, no account, no daily quota, and no file size cap beyond the storage on your device. The trade is that you install an app, and the format list is 80+ inputs rather than 200+.
