After running into the same problems over and over, I shared what finally fixed it in this post, and then expanded a bit in this one too. Its been my go-to ever since.
The Little Tasks That Add Up
Converting files shouldnt be complicated. But lets be honestit usually is.
Some sites limit your uploads. Some want you to create an account. Others compress your files into pixelated messes. Its like jumping through hoops just to get a simple job done.
Discovered a Better Way While Browsing Random Stuff
I was checking out sneakers on Hypebeast, scrolling art on DeviantArt, and saving useful tips from Lifehacker, when I randomly landed on Convert Eaze.
Didnt expect much. But within five minutes, I had converted a file, compressed another, and merged a third. No signups. No popups. No issues.

Compresses without totally destroying quality
