Media Convert : Online Conversion/Splitting Tool

Ever wanted to convert one file format into another without having to download irritating limited/licensed softwares? Here’s your solution. Media Convert is, by far, the largest, the most efficient, and the most useful online conversion/splitting tool I have ever come across. The website allows you to convert between different formats of sound files, videos, presentations, text documents, spreadsheets, images, archives and more. The best part - this service is absolutely free and I’m yet to face a downtime. File extensions from a pool of softwares are supported, included Open Office and Microsoft Office. Moreover, there’s no need of downloading any potentially infected software. There is no requirement of registration. The only minus is the presence of large number of ads on the website, which is accepted, given the service is free-of-charge.

Media Convert not only supports conversions of files located on your PC, but also those located at a URL. There are no hassles/conflicts with any of the four most used internet browsers, namely Opera, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari and (the woderfully genius creation) Microsoft Internet Explorer. The service also provides file hosting and website screenshot facilities.

Here’s a list of file formats supported for different types of documents-

And there’s more (quoted from the website)-

1) File Hosting allows conversion into zip archives (even split archives and passwords are supported)
2) Insert a PDF into your web page by converting it into an SWF Flash file.
3) Export easily Microsoft Access database to an Excel table.
4) Capture a website as an image.
5) Encode a text with UTF-8 codes or with one of 900 other charsets.
6) Learn morse code with the text to morse converter.

I personally applaud the creators for the wonderful online application. In a nutshell, Media Convert is the place to be should any file conversion related problem befall you. Go play..
