Why does the site say "daily limit reached"?
To keep the free tools sustainable for everyone, there's a daily limit on how many times certain tools can be used without an account or on the free tier.
What resets and when
Daily limits reset once every 24 hours from when you first hit them. Waiting and trying again the next day resolves it without any other action needed.
If you need more right now
Signing in raises limits compared to using tools anonymously, and a paid plan raises them further — check Pricing for current tiers if you regularly need more than the free allowance.
Working around an occasional spike
For a one-off large batch of files, doing them across a day or two rather than all at once avoids the limit without needing to change plans.
Planning around the limit
If you regularly need more conversions than the free daily limit allows, spreading a large batch of files across two days works as a free workaround, though for consistent heavy use a paid plan is the more practical long-term solution — see current tiers on the Pricing page.
Checking your current usage
If you have an account, Dashboard → Developer API shows usage figures if you are using the API specifically; browser-based tool usage limits are separate and reset on the same daily cycle.
Understanding why limits exist
Daily limits on free usage help keep server resources available for everyone using the free tools, rather than being an arbitrary restriction — this is the same reason essentially every free online tool service applies some form of usage limit.

If this happens regularly enough to be a genuine inconvenience rather than an occasional edge case, that pattern itself is useful information — it is a clear, practical signal that a paid tier would likely save you real time compared to continuing to work around the limit.
