I tried it and immediately fell in love! It was so easy to use! After a couple conversions I bought the guys a cup of coffee. A couple more and decided this was too good to abuse! I joined! My life is so much easier!

I had a huge, problematic file to convert that couldn't go through the usual automated conversion process. The Zamzar team responded quickly to my request for help, and they took the extra steps needed to do it manually.

Used it for over a year to convert my bank statements to csv files. Great quick app, increased my productivity a lot. Also, amazing support - always helped me quickly!

I've used this product for years. And customer service is excellent. Just had an issue where I was charged and I didn't agree with the charge and they took care of it, even though they didn't have to.

It’s my first time using it. I had some complications doing it. I’m not very good at this. But I wrote to the company and I had a lot of help. I’m satisfied with customer service and with the app.

Great for when you need a lot of conversions in a short time. You have directly access and can even put the subscription on for just a month.

Sabina Calis

Great thanks to you all for helping me to get the OLD files converted correctly. 20 years, quite a long time, reviewing the files brings much memory to me. That's the best gift I received last year. Thank you all again.

Fantastic service! My mom's computer died and she has 1000+ Word Perfect files she wants to keep for some reason. Since Word Perfect is basically dead, I decided to convert all her files. Zamzar's converter was perfect.

APE Audio Format

APE Converter

An APR file also goes by the name of Monkey’s Audio Lossless Audio File. It was developed by a company called Monkey’s, hence the filename of ‘APE’. As the full name suggests it uses lossless compression which is to say there is little to no impact to the overall sound quality despite it having been compressed to a fraction of the size it would’ve been in its RAW format. It’s increasingly popular as it has an inbuilt mechanism to to spot errors in the file and it also supports tags that store data that can be used by the end user. APE files can be opened by the MPlayer, Monkey’s Audio and the VLC Media Player.

FLAC Audio Format

FLAC Converter

An FLAC file has a full name of Free Lossless Audio Codec File and was developed by the Xiph.org foundation. An FLAC file is an open sourced audio file that uses lossless file compression which means that the file has been compressed to make it smaller but without impacting the quality of the file. i.e. it sounds the same but is smaller in size. In some circles it is known as a HD version of an MP3 file because it sounds a lot crisper than an MP3 but the way it has been built means that it tends to be a similar sized file as an MP3. It was developed in the early 2000s and given it’s size, quality and the fact it was open sourced it quickly became a popular alternative to other popular lossless audio formats which were developed at that time.

Another feature of an FLAC file is that it can support metadata and so they’re often used to burn CDs. Almost all open sourced audio players play FLAC files including the VLC Media Player. Other popular programs like QuickTime and Media Player do not play FLAC files.
