The Free Software Files

Media Convert is a site which offers an incredibly useful and free service. It will convert files between a wide range of formats for you without the need to install a pile of different file conversion applications.

I was using it today to convert some .bmp files to the .png format and the process was an absolute snap:

1. Use their web site to browse to the location on your PC where the file you want to convert can be found.
2. The file type should be automatically recognised by their system, though you can choose the type of the source file if you want.
3. Then choose the format you want for your output file from one of the file types available in the Output Format drop-down list.
4. If you’re converting image files, you also have an option to resize the output image and, if supported by the file type, apply compression to it.
5. Accept their terms and conditions and click OK.
6. Within a few minutes, depending on the size of the file being converted, you should be presented with a successful result and a page which allows you to download the converted file either directly or in a .zip file.

An absolute dawdle and an extremely useful service and I particularly like the fact that you don’t have to install any software locally to use this site. Excellent.

For a full list of file types that can be converted visit http://media-convert.com.

Final Score: 5 out of 5!
