This website allows you to convert basically anything to anything. The process is simple, the user uploads a file, chooses the format to be converted and the converted file will be delivered to the user's email. The downside is that when the server is busy the process might get delayed up to one day.
Here's a simple overview of supported formats:
- Image formats - bmp,jpg,png,gif,tiff
- Document formats - doc,docx,pdf,ppt,xls
- Audio formats - ac3,mp3,wav,wma
- Video formats - 3gp,avi,flv,iphone,ipod,mov,mp4,mpg,rmvb,vob,wmv
- Ebook formats - cbz,cbr,mobi,prc,pml,tcr
- Compression formats - 7z,rar,zip,tar,tar.bz2,tar.gz,cab
- and other formats such as AutoCAD drawings
Converting a file from your harddisk
1) When you arrive at Zamzar.com, you'll see a simple 4 steps interface as shown.
2) For free users, there's a 100MB limit so you can't convert a 700mb AVI movie for example (even if you could, it takes a while to upload such a huge file, for converting videos I'll suggest you to do it yourself). Here I'll select a PDF file which is one of the most common conversion.
3) After I selected a PDF file from my harddisk, I could then choose the supported formats to be converted to. Here's the interesting part, notice that I may convert PDF to MP3! PDF is one of the few formats which supports text-to-speech conversion.
4) Finally enter your email and click Convert! Your converted file will be sent to your email when ready.
Converting a file from the internet
1) To convert any file directly from the internet, click on the 'Download Videos' tab instead.
2) Despite the description, it is not limited to 'videos' but any file type as well, just enter the URL of the file. It also supports direct URL input of many video sharing sites such as Youtube.
