Settings

Language, appearance, default output formats, parallel conversions, output location, and download connections.

Open Settings from the left sidebar.

9xconvert Settings showing the General, Defaults, Conversions, and Downloads groups
Five groups. Defaults decide what a file converts to when you do not pick a format yourself; Extraction continues below the visible fold.

General

  • App language changes the interface language. 9xconvert ships 19 languages.
  • Appearance follows the system or forces light or dark mode.

Defaults

These set the output format 9xconvert reaches for when you have not chosen one on the file itself.

  • Video Format — MP4, MKV, MOV, M4V, AVI, WEBM, FLV, WMV, or MPG
  • Audio Format — MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A, AAC, OGG, WMA, or OPUS
  • Image Format — JPG, PNG, WEBP, TIFF, AVIF, HEIF, or ICO
  • Document Format — DOCX, PDF, MD, HTML, or TXT

Setting a default does not lock anything: the Convert To picker on each file still offers every format and preset for that type.

Conversions

  • Parallel Conversions controls how many files process at once. More at once uses more CPU, memory, and disk throughput; if the machine becomes unresponsive or conversions slow down overall, lower it.
  • Location sets where finished files are written.

Downloads

  • Connections controls the connections used for each fetched file. Higher values can improve throughput but can also trigger source throttling.
  • Parallel Downloads controls how many From URL files download at once. It is separate from Parallel Conversions.
  • Keep Downloads preserves the fetched source file after its conversion.

Extraction

These controls apply when From URL resolves a batch, playlist, channel, or search result before downloading begins.

  • Bulk Retries sets how many times a failed extraction batch is retried.
  • Retry Delay (ms) waits between those attempts.
  • YouTube Pages limits how many result pages are requested.
  • YouTube Max Results caps how many items are returned.

Conversion never uploads a file, which is why there is no size limit. From URL, UID verification, and updates still need a connection.
