If your office computer is as antiquated as some in my building, many times the standard file format just won’t do.

Want to download a YouTube video so you can have a copy of “Boom Goes The Dynamite” on your hard drive? How about turning the new Drake song into an mp3 for your post-work gym mix? (Pretty sure that isn’t legal…so try to act like I didn’t just type that).

If you need to convert anything, you should be using Zamzar. It’s the ultimate conversion Web site. There’s no signup process, no registering, no spam.

The site couldn’t be any more simple: Either upload a file from your computer or put in a URL, then tell those tricky chameleon/iguana what you want it converted to. Put in your email and wait. You’ll receive an email with a URL. Click that URL and download the file. That’s it. McFly and I have been using this site for a long, long time.

So stop Googling “jpeg to pdf” or whatever you’re trying to convert and just book Zamzar.

And, to nail this one home, typing “file conversion” into Google gives you Zamzar as the No. 1 result. It’s legit.
