For example I have an iPhone, but my computer runs on Windows, therefore Zamzar is very helpful for converting iMOV files into mp4 so I can work with them in Camtasia or other video editing tools.
Offer the tool for learners who need to convert files to be compatatible with learning management system requirements or assignment requirements
The free account has a lot of limitations in terms of file size and uploads per day.
Zamzar has an easy to use interface with steps "1,2,3" right at the top of the page with drop down menus for each step. There are also common conversions, like PDF to XLS hyperlinked a little further down the screen. With the web app, you can also begin conversion of a file by right clicking on the file in the file explorer menu. I have found it does a quality conversion of iMOV files into mp4 files, faster and better than some other free tools I tried out.
General help articles are hosted on the website and specific support is available through an email form.
