Best Free Online Tools for Converting Files

Its always very important to be able to change your file formats at will. Thus, here is a quick list of the best free online tools for converting files.

Media Convert: Media Convert is, for most users, the most powerful online file conversion system. Not only can it process dozens of document, images, movie, audio, video, archive and other file types, it also has an advanced set of options that let you do things like add ID3 tags to images, trim videos and resize images on the fly. It can take file sizes up to 200 MB, more than most of its competitors. Though the interface can be a bit confusing, especially in case where the automatic file detect doesn’t work, it makes up for it somewhat by being able to send files via email or to your mobile device. A file hosting option is also available.

Zamzar: Zamzar has a streamlined interface that makes converting files easy and offers a robust set of file types that include images, audio, video and archive files. Also offers conversion of ebooks and CAD files as well. The free version offers up to 100 MB file size but the paid accounts go up to 1 GB and also offer online storage. Zamzar’s biggest drawback is that the site does move sluggish at times and conversions, especially for large files, can take a long time.

YouConvertIt: YouConvertIt has a slick Web 2.0-style interface with lots of JavaScript to make the process of uploading files extremely quick and it supports most document, audio, video, image and archive file types. YouConvertIt has a relatively small file size limit of 80 MB, which goes up to 100 MB for those who are registered, but offers larger file sizes for those who are just sending files through the service and not doing any conversions.
