File Conversions Made Easy




From time to time, you may receive a legitimate file attachment from a friend or co-worker that you determine is safe to download, but you can’t open it.

The most common reasons is that you don’t have a program that can specifically work with the type of file that was sent.

You can certainly ask the sender to resend in a format you can open or perhaps even spend the money on a software program designed to work with the file or use today’s tip to solve the problem.

A free website at https://zamzar.com is setup to help you convert just about any file from one format to another.

They can convert more than 1100 file formats that range from documents to images and even video and sound files.

You can either click on a link that will allow you to select the file or files from your computer or drag and drop the files directly onto the website.

Then, simply select the file format you wish to convert to and click the convert button to either have it emailed to you or download as soon as it’s converted.
