Zamzar: Shazam!

Anyone working in the creative industry has experienced the annoyance of being sent information in the wrong format– and nothing zaps time and creative inspiration like the ensuing conversion process. You can buy software to help you deal with it, but, well… that sucks, almost as much as the accompanying email chain with your clueless clients. So, it’s with no small amount of pride that I present to you Zamzar, a (free!) online file conversion service that is equipped to handle a veritable boatload of file types that might just make your job significantly easier. Zamzar’s easy to use; all it requires of you is the bunk file, your email address, and the format which you would like your file to be converted to and bam. Magic. I don’t think Zamzar is entirely spankin’ new; I get the feeling people have been clued into this for much longer than I have, but just in case any of you readers could benefit from something like this, here you go. Because sharing is caring, etc.
