How to Convert Files to Another Format

Typically, you can convert a file using the Save As function in whichever program you open it with, but if you need to convert a file to an unusual format, or if you need to convert several files at once, you can use Zamzar to accomplish this.

This is the Zamzar website when you first open it (as of February 24, 2022).

Follow the on-screen prompts to upload your file(s).

Zamzar will detect what type of file you have uploaded, and provide a list of compatible filetypes available for conversion.

If you are converting a very large file or a large batch of files, you can opt to have an email sent to you when the conversion is done.

Once you click Convert Now, the website will take you to a page displaying the conversion status of your files. Once the conversion is done, the status bar will change to a Download button.

Files will be stored only for 24 hours, so make sure to download them in that time.
