Description : Free file conversion website that supports a very wide range of file types including the majority of Documents, Images, Music, Video, and compression formats. Free version offers maximum file size of 100MB. Even transcode direct from the URL before you download.
First of all, I think its important to point out that the Conversion-Process of ZamZar is not always instant. Sometimes it can take upto an hour before you can download your transcoded 100MB video file. But when it comes to the point where you don’t want to install another application to transcode files (and yes, you may eventually find that you don’t want to!) then I think ZamZar is the solution that will work for you, whilst leaving your computer resources alone to carry on doing other things!
I noted that probably the most useful feature is being able to change the file type BEFORE downloading the file, just by knowing the URL. This can be extremely useful with music and videos! The file types supported are as follows;
Documents - .cvs; .doc; .docx; .odp; .ods; .odt; .pdf; .ppt; .pptx; .ps; .pub; .rtf; .wpd; .wps; .xls and .xlsx.
Images - .bmp; .gif; .jpg; .pcx; .png; .tga; .tiff and .wbmp.
Audio - .aac; .ac3; .flac; .m4a; .mp3; .ra; .ram; .wav and .wma.
Video - .ra; .ram; .3gg; .avi; .flv; .gvi; .m4v; .mov; .mp4; .mpg; .rm; .rmvb; .vob and .wmv.
Compression Formats - .7z; .cab; .lzh; .rar; .tar; .tar.ghz; .tar.bz2; .yz1; and .zip.
That’s quite an extensive list!
Of course, when I referred to something as the most useful feature, I wasn’t counting the number of different file types and the browser button feature. Both of which are reallyreally neat. The Zamzar web browser button is a very interesting and potentially massive time saving feature that I cant say I have seen anywhere else before.
