Why do we need file converters?
In today�s ever advancing tech sphere, a number of new platforms, devices, and versions flood the market every single day. It�s a necessity to be able to convert and update files to more compatible versions. The need could be as small as the ability to share a particular file with a friend (if you have Windows on your laptop and your friend has a MAC) or between devices (phone, computer, tablet). Finally, you may just want a more practical solution such as making your music more portable by converting Flac to mp3.
Things to keep in mind before downloading a file converter
- First and most important is the type of software you need. What do you need to convert? Is it an audio, video, image or document file?
- Does it support the most commonly used file formats, including,
a. Video converters � MOV, AVI, FLV, WMV, MP4
b. Audio converter � MP3, WAV, FLAC
c. Image/Photo converters � JPEG, TIFF, PNG, GIF, BMP
d. Document converters � DOC, PPT, PDF, XLS,
e. 3D mesh converters � 3DS, STL, 3DP
f. Archive file converters � RAR, ZIP, TAR, GZ - Ability to batch convert � You really don�t want to convert one song at a time when your playlist is 100 songs long or one image at a time when your vacation album has some 1000 photos.
- The provider of the file converter software is stable and in sync with the changing technology environment so as to provide regular updates and support.
Why download a file converter when there are plenty of online options available?
There are a number of valid reasons. The most important are:
- Converting files from your desktop is safer, more secure and keeps your privacy in your own hands.
- Desktop converters provide more options and higher quality than their online counterparts. This saves you time and effort by getting it right the first time.
- Is your file the size of Mount Fiji or the Strait of Gibraltar? Online converters restrict the file size for conversion. The size of your file becomes an important factor.
- Some free online file converters add a watermark to your converted file as a form of advertising. Nobody likes that.
Combine all of the above factors and you will have a compelling reason to use a desktop converter instead of an online converter.
