Zamzar's API provided not only the Service required but easy to understand stepped-process to implement. This business process was critical - but I don't believe we ever had a failure over years of daily use. Cons Not a problem with the product, but had to build quite a bit around the API calls to handle timing and any issues - mostly because the use was within a web application where automation of the stepped-process was needed.

AG Andrew G. Broker/Realtor Real Estate ### "An Incredibly Simple Interface, Absolutely Necessary for Today's File-Diverse World" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 May 21, 2023 I'm obviously a very basic user so I can't speak to any of the advanced features, but for everyday file conversion needs I can't imagine anything better. The process isn't rocket science, though other software retailers act like it is. With recent website improvements, it's hard for me to imagine switching to any other service. Pros I am a real estate broker, and like many people, deal with a variety of file types in my day-to-day work life. I see plenty of PDFs, JPEGs, and DOCXs, but sometimes I have to deal with TIFFs, GPXs and more, depending on what kind of research I'm doing. Unfortunately my file storage program only allows upload of a few of file types, which is how I stumbled across Zamzar. I used to have a difficult time finding a conversion program that would either a) allow a couple of free conversions (I typically don't need many) or b) allowed the file-type-to-file-type I was looking for. Zamzar solved all that. Incredibly simple to use, I have yet to find a conversion it won't perform for me. Files are processed exceedingly fast, and are easy to download, without making me hunt around for them or encountering a paywall (don't you just love that when other programs will convert a file for you, but then make you pay to download it?). Only on a few occasions have I run out of conversions, so Zamzar is largely perfect for my needs. I have also always appreciated that it works entirely online, without forcing me to download a single piece of software. Cons I can easily imagine that someone with far more conversion needs/volume than me would relatively quickly find themselves in need of the paid version (that said, it would probably be worth it for the speed and simplicity of use). Also -- and this is a very minor complaint as Zamzar has improved the look of their website over the years -- the interface used to be so basic looking, it raised questions about whether the technology might even be secure, or if it would function properly. (In my memory, there used to also be third-party ads hosted on the website, which looked deceptively like Zamzar's own file conversion button).

You won't need training. Cons It's basic with very little extra features. Don't expect it to do more than file conversions for the most part.

Matteo T. COO Machinery ### "Conversione online gratuita" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 October 31, 2022 Uso frequentemente il servizio soprattutto per la conversione di fogli di calcolo dal vecchio formato .xls al nuovo formato .xlsx o per convertire su iPad un foglio di calcolo in un file .csv da importare sull’ERP aziendale. Pros Ottimo strumento web per la conversione dei file nei formati più disparati. Cons La versione gratuita ha un limite di 2 files ogni 24 ore. Reasons for choosing Zamzar Dopo diverse prove, ho riscontato una maggiore affidabilità nella conversione, soprattutto per la generazione di file .csv.

Jitendra B. Freelance writer and blogger Writing and Editing ### "A quick and easy way to convert file types " 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 August 18, 2022 In my role as a blogger, I am quite satisfied with the document conversion capabilities of Zamzar Pros I liked the straightforward and quick conversion process of Zamzar along with its super friendly dashboard that shows the live status of document conversion. I also loved the easy way to get the converted document delivered directly to my email. I can download it directly on my computer. The entire thing is very easy and smooth. I no longer need to wrestle with the technicalities of converting files or document types- all thanks to the automated conversion procedure of Zamzar. Cons I think that the current limit of document conversion on basic version is insufficient for many real life use cases and it can be increased.

BW Brendan W. Director Hospital & Health Care ### "Amazing and simple file conversion software " 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 July 28, 2022 Pros I do a lot of research and reading, and most of the time that content is in PDFs. A number of times there have been files with resources and text that I can put to use, but my PC doesn’t have a native app that let’s me edit and copy from PDFs. Instead, I convert them to word files and go from there. Zamzar is so easy and fast for that. It’s one of my top bookmarks. Cons The paywall makes sense. They still let you use it for free, but sometimes I run into the daily limit on the free plan.

Zamzar gives me the confidence that I can take any kind of document and convert it into the sort of file I need at the time. Pros Fast file conversions. Simply process anyone can do it. Any type of file can be converted to any other type of file. Cons To be honest I can't think of any cons with Zamzar never having any issues.

KT Kamila T. Conference Interpreter/Translator Translation and Localization ### "Hassle-free web-based file conversion tool" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 May 10, 2022 Pros Zamzar is extremely easy to use - you upload the original file, select the target format and wait for a moment while the file is being converted. The software handles an extensive list of file formats and types, not only in the document domain, but also for multimedia or even e-books (!). Cons Even though Zamzar does process design-heavy files (pdf and the like) into editable document formats, the layout and text quality leaves quite a lot to be desired - so in these cases it's much better to employ proper OCR software and/or an actual human operator.

SF Shanon F. Photographer Photography ### "Be Careful" 1.0 Overall Rating 1.0 1.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 1.0 1.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 January 6, 2022 I decided to try their free converter. The site made me use my credit card. I tried four images and then never used them again as I had the images converted professionally. Zamzar started to charge me. I received no email bill or anything. After three months I noticed a charge on my credit card. I had to Google them as I forgot who they were even, then go to their site and sign in and manually cancel. I use software from many companies and they all send an email invoice or confirmation except for Zamzar. It is a small amount so it is under the radar. I feel it is intentional and they scam people knowing most will not notice. Pros It was fairly easy to use and try overall Cons Hidden billing, started being charged and received no confirmation email or invoice Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site. All submitted reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor November 9, 2022 Hi Shanon, we're glad you found our service easy to use. Sorry that you didn't realise that you'd signed up for a paid account with us, though. We offer a genuinely free service for up to 2 files per 24 hours, but as you were converting more than 2 files you would have been informed that you'd need to create a paid account to proceed. At the point you create a paid account, you select a plan to sign up to, select whether you want a monthly or annual subscription, enter your payment details, and agree to the price and terms of the subscription. We don't take any payment without you authorising this through the subscription signup form. The subscription then continues until you cancel it, which you can do at any time. We also send a confirmation email after you sign up, but it may be that this went into your spam folder. If you have any questions about your account, you can contact us directly at support@zamzar.com, and we'll be happy to help. From the Zamzar team. SS Staffan S.

It's done smooth and Zamzar crew were fast to customize to our needs regarding bigger image sizes. Cons not much. At the moment we are satisfied with the service.
