How to Change Format/Extension of File by Email

These days media files, documents and images etc.  come up in number of file formats or extensions. Sometimes people require conversion of file format /changing file extensions. Like if you don’t have compatible software that supports specific file extension or file format, then you can open it by doing format conversion to a supported one. Like if you don’t have Adobe Acrobat reader and want to open a PDF file then you can convert it into a DOC file (Microsoft Word) and open it in MS Word.

People use different File format converter softwares in order to change file formats.

After conversion, these websites generate temporary download link for your converted file.
