zamzar! convert files online without the hassle


I bet you’ve been in a situation wherein you want to convert a file to another format but you don’t have the necessary software handy. I know I have. What I would normally do is google for a free software that will do the job, register, download the app, then install the app. I can begin to convert my files only after doing those steps.

Then I stumbled upon Zamzar, an online conversion tool that does the trick for free! Yay! It’s still in beta, but it’s quite impressive, they support a wide array of file formats, be it a document, an image, music, or video. Click here to view a list of supported files.

Though part of PCMAG.COM’s list of worst app names, Zamzar is getting good reviews from a lot of users. Zamzar was co-founded by brothers Mike and Chris Whyley who found a gap in the market for an easy to use conversion tool. Something not too technical and definitely not costly. I guess they did a good job with this web-based tool. It’s so simple, just browse for the file (max 100MB), choose the format you need to convert it into, enter your email address so they can send the files, then hit the convert button. All you have to do now is wait for the email containing the link where you can download your converted files. Pretty neat, huh?
