File Conversions

Does this scenario sound familiar?

Someone emails you a file; you try to open it, but your computer says "what the heck is this? I don't know what this is! Do you want me to convert it?" and of course, you say yes. Then you get a file that looks like it was keyed by a 2-year old experimenting with keyboard icons.

Never fear, Zamzar is here. Zamzar is a free file conversion website. You can upload a file type (almost any file type) and Zamzar will convert the file to another file type. Convert PDFs to docs; convert those pesky Microsoft Works files (.wps) that one would think should open in Microsoft Word to official Word docs. You're not limited to text-based files; you can also convert image and audio files here.

Note: you must download your file within 24 hours. File size is limited to 100MB.
