If you’re anything like our crew of REVStafffing virtual assistants, you often need to convert files – all kinds of files – without the hassle of downloading and installing special software. Sound familiar?
We occasionally like to bring really cool technical tools to the attention of our readers; the more tools you have at your disposal, the easier your job (and our job!) becomes. Today, let’s take a look at Zamzar. Zamzar is a nifty (and FREE) way to convert files quickly and easily.
Here’s a good example. In it’s release of Office 2007, Microsoft incorporated a new file format: docx. Suppose your digital assistant wants to work on the document in the older .doc format? Easy! They can convert it from docx to doc format, make their changes, then reconvert it and send it back to you in docx format. Even better, either of you can convert the file to a pdf file! It’s really just that simple.
Are you using Google’s WebP format to compress images without losing quality? Use Zamzar to convert bmp (Windows bitmap), emf (Windows Enhanced Metafile), gif (Compuserve graphics interchange), jpg (JPEG compliant image), pcx (PC Paintbrush Bitmap Graphic), png (Portable Network Graphic), tga (Truevision Targa Graphic), tiff (Tagged image file format) or wbmp (Wireless Bitmap File Format) both to and from WebP formats.
Got an iPad? You can use Zamzar to convert videos from almost any video format into an optimized MP4 format especially designed for the iPad. And if you’re using iWork on a Mac (Pages, Keynotes and Numbers), you can easily upload those documents and convert them to a variety of formats – including Microsoft Office. This means that even if you or your digital assistant is using a Mac, both parties can view and work with documents with ease.
