# Quick Conversion

Use this page when you want to upload one model, convert it quickly for a target RVC platform, and download the compiled result
without managing model versions in the registry.

## Choose Quick Conversion or Model Registry conversion

Both workflows convert raw models into deployable RVC-compiled outputs, but they serve different jobs in Luxonis Hub.

If you would like to understand what conversion is, why it is needed, and the key concepts behind it, start with the
[Conversion](https://docs.luxonis.com/software-v3/ai-inference/conversion.md) overview.

## Convert a model

To start the conversion, open the [Quick Conversions](https://hub.luxonis.com/ai/tools) page:

To perform a conversion:

 1. Choose the raw model format you want to convert from (YOLO / ONNX).
 2. Choose the target RVC platform (RVC2 / RVC3 / RVC4).
 3. Upload the model file.
 4. Define the conversion parameters such as input shape and advanced export options.
 5. (Optional) Enable Add to Model option to attach the converted output as a new version under an existing Model Registry entry.
 6. Start the conversion by clicking Submit.

For `RVC4` conversions, make sure the selected SNPE version matches the target DepthAI and Luxonis OS combination. See the [SNPE
compatibility table in Conversion
Troubleshooting](https://docs.luxonis.com/software-v3/ai-inference/conversion/troubleshooting.md).

For the Model Registry-based conversion workflow and a deeper explanation of each parameter, see the [Model Registry conversion
guide](https://docs.luxonis.com/cloud/hubai/model-registry/detailed-conversion.md).

## Track progress and download the result

The conversion runs in the cloud, and you can track its progress in the browser:

After the conversion completes, the converted model appears in the Recent Conversions section at the bottom of the page.

Verify the result by confirming that:

 * the conversion status is Completed
 * the converted output appears in Recent Conversions
 * the compiled model can be downloaded from the result row

> **One conversion at a time**
> Only one Quick Conversion process can run at a time.
