Zamzar - free online file conversion - great resource


Zamzar is a free online file conversion service that is very easy to use. You upload your file to their server, select what file format you want it converted to, enter your email, and done. They will send you an email with the link to the converted file.

This is a very useful site in these days of different operating systems and software versions. Students use different software than school and then the files can't be read on the school computers, etc.

The free version can take a little bit of time to convert, but it's free. There are premium fee versions that allow you to have faster conversions and create accounts to manage your files.

Zamzar can convert literally hundreds of file types, including Microsoft Office, PDF, ODP, and much more. It can even convert Apple Keynote files to MS PowerPoint. The conversions include documents, images, music, video, e-book formats, compressed files (like zip), and even some CAD files.

Here's a listing of all the file types.

This is definitely a tool that everyone needs to have.

DocsPal - Free online file Converter and Viewer


DocsPal is a free online file converter. You simply upload your file, select the original file format and what you want it converted to, and click convert. The link to the converted file will appear on the screen. You can also have the link sent to you via email.

I converted an Excel spreadsheet with graphs to PDF format in about 15 seconds.

It is still in Beta and only supports about 30 file formats, but more are being worked on.

This is great for educators who use one type of software or operating system at school and different ones at home or have students using different systems.
