So I opened Firefox, and started looking for something that would solve my issue, and I found it!!

I discovered that it’s full of online converters out there in the immense universe of the Internet. Converters that can catch any file and turn it into another, no matter what format you want.

1. “Select files or URL to convert“: The first step lets you select the file you wish to convert, up to 100MB. You can provide its URL or simply select the file from your hard-disk.



2. “Choose the format to convert to“: Second step is to select the output format. From the dropdown menu, just select the file type you want.



3. “Enter your email address to receive converted files“: After you selected the file and the format it is going to be converted into, you’ll just need to provide a valid email address where a download link will be sent for you to get your file.



4. “Convert“: Last and fastest step, but most important, is to click the button convert!

In the last version of ZamZar, you can also convert videos from major video sharing services (such as YouTube, Blip.tv, Google Video…), and get a private 100GB online hosting space to store all of your converted files online.
