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.

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.

A very useful and professional site. The service is easy to use and the administrators are helpful and courteous.

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.

I 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 Bee

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.

I feel like Zamzar is an active team member, especially for projects that I work on where I am the workhorse and it saves so much time and frustration. I am spoiled with Zamzar, because they have set the bar for file conversion and customer service very high.

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.

XLS Document Format

XLS Converter

The XLS format, also known as the Excel Binary File Format, is the format for spreadsheet files created by Microsoft or other spreadsheet programs. XLS files contain one or more worksheets that are made up of cells that are arranged by row and by column, and they allow users to do calculations by inserting formulas into cells. XLS files also support charts, images, pivot tables and more, and this means that they are often the format of choice for anyone doing any form of calculation or working with numerical data. This file format also allows users to create and record macros using a macro-programming language called Visual Basic.

XLS files are widely used in education and in work, although in 2007 they were replaced by the XLSX file format as the primary file type used for Excel spreadsheets.

Users can open XLS files with either Office for Windows or Office for Mac, and both these programs support features, including macros that have been written in Visual Basic. While applications like OpenOffice allow XLS files to be opened, some features may be limited. XLS files can also be opened on Android or iOS.

TXT Document Format

TXT Converter

A TXT file also goes by the name of a Plain Text File and are widely used. TXT files contain only text and unlike other document file types like the DOC they do not contain images or other multimedia.

Part of their appeal is that they can be opened on almost any device and on any OS. Microsoft and Apple both have in built text editor applications called Notepad and TextEdit respectively and are often used to create the TXT files. They are used extensively not only by the average user in the street who may decide to take meeting minutes, notes or the like but also by more technical IT types who can use it when coding.

TXT files do not have the same features as a DOC file in that you can’t select a font, make a word bold or add things like tables so if a user needs these types of features they’d often use a Word processor like Word to do this instead of using a plain text file.
