Free File Conversion Tool

Nothing is more frustrating than getting a file from a friend or colleague and not being able to open it. Sure you can go find a viewer, but wouldn’t it be easier to simply convert the file to a format your computer is already set-up to read?

The free Zamzar service is just what you need—it converts a wide variety of document, image, music, video, compressed, and even CAD files to common formats such as .doc, .jpg, and mp3.

For example, you can

• Convert a .pdf file to a .doc file
• Convert a PowerPoint file (.ppt or .pptx) to a .swf Flash file
• Convert a Windows Media (.wmf) or Audio (.wav) file to .mp3 or .mp4
• Convert a .tar archive file to a .zip file
• Convert a CAD .dwg file to .jpg, .pdf or .tiff
• See the full file conversion list

The process is simple, go to Zamzar and:

1. Upload your file (up to 100MB for free)
2. Select the format you want to which you want to convert
3. Enter your email address
4. Click the “Convert” button
5. Look for an email from Zamzar with a link to your converted file—the linked file will be available for 1 day after your upload.

Give it a try the next time you’re faced with a file you can’t open!
