Zamzar; convert files on the run

You’ve all been in the situation.

You’re on the run and you got this file which you just have to open, but the computer you’re are sitting in front of doesn’t have the tool(s) to open it with, so… what do you do?

You can excuse yourself, fix a ride home, and convert the file. You can ask if you can have permission to install some programs, which in most cases will put a thought in peoples heads; spyware, virus etc. Or you can use Zamzar!

Zamzar is a rather fast and simple service which lets you convert most fileformats into something else. E.g. yesterday I had this Microsoft Word 2007 Document (.docx) which I had to have in a format which was able to open in Microsoft Word 97 (.doc). So I simply uploaded the file at Zamzar and chose my fileformat, 50 mins later I got the .doc-file I needed. Perfect!

You can convert files up to a 100 mb without creating an account, and you can convert between .gif, .jpg, .ico, .png, .doc, .xls, .ppt, .docx, .xlsx, .pptx, .mp3, .wav, .ogg, .ac3, .avo, .mpg, .mov, .wmv, .ipod, .iphone, .rar, .zip and a lot more! With a basic (7$), pro (16$) or business (49$) account you get even better service.

The service has helped me, and now I’ve spread the word

Good service = more customers!
