Convertio's homepage says all conversions take place in the cloud. Filemorph does the opposite: the work happens on your iPhone, iPad or Mac, nothing is uploaded, and there is no conversion-minute allowance to run out of.
Convertio is one of the most used web converters, with a long format list and a Chrome extension. Its model is upload first: your file goes to servers in Germany, is converted there, and the result is available for 24 hours. Their pages say input files are deleted right after conversion.
Filemorph keeps the file where it is. Conversions run on the device using Apple's frameworks, so there is no upload, no account, no minutes budget and no per-file size cap beyond your storage. What you give up is the browser: Filemorph is an app for iPhone, iPad and Mac, not a website.
