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.
PDinSFUsed 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!
Agata WierzbickaI'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.

David SheltonIt’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.
Ana SuárezI use Zamar whenever I need to convert audio and video files from multiple submitters to 1 uniform file format for Audio and Video Editing. I can do multiple large files in a short amount of time.
Christopher BeeGreat 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 CalisGreat 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.
Jiunn-Ru LaiFantastic 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.

CR2 Image Format CR2 Converter
A CR2 file format also goes by its full name of a Canon Raw version 2 image file, and, as the name implies, it’s a raw image file that’s been created by a Canon digital camera. A CR2 file, like other raw image files, is a file that hasn’t undergone any processing or compression, meaning the image data has been stored in a way that mirrors exactly what was captured by the camera’s sensor. This means that the file is incredibly crisp and high quality but also large in size.
Raw image files, like the CR2 file, are used by photographers when printing because they often want the highest-quality print they can get - therefore, they use the sharpest picture available. For the ordinary user, CR2 files tend to be converted to more accessible image file types, like the JPG format, meaning they undergo some compression and there’s some loss of quality.
CR2 files are easily opened, and can be opened by Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft Photos, Apple Photos and Preview for macOS.

JPG Image Format JPG Converter
The JPG file is also sometimes referred to as a JPEG and when talking in conversation it is often referred to as a “Jay….Peg”. It has been around now for decades and it’s popularity has endured. It is a compressed image format that still provided excellent picture quality but at a fraction of the size of say a BMP format. For many cameras it is the default file type and many sites on the Web use JPG’s because they aid the page load speed given they’re small in size. A JPG is a universal format that is able to be opened by almost any device, OS or picture application.
A JPG uses something called lossy compression which is to say that the compression comes at a cost, namely the quality of the picture is less in a JPG compared with a RAW file. Having said that, JPG’s are popular because the overall quality degradation of the image to the human eye is barely noticeable.
