Excellent customer service. I had an issue convering a file and sent an email to Customer Service. Less than 4 hours later, a Customer Support Specialist, Grace, responded. She asked me to send her the file, and her team converted it for me within a few hours. In the era of AI, it was a delightful experience working with a human and not having to navigate through a chat bot and trying to find a solution for the issue. Overall, a very easy and seamless experience. Thank you.
I tried to convert a PDF document written in the Urdu language into the Word Document. The result was a mess.
I use Zamzar for audio file conversions, and it works as advertised; it's fast, it's easy. But, the customer service is excellent. They addressed an issue that turned out to be my fault, and went above and beyond to make things right, in spite of me being a dumbass. I don't have a verification as I've finished with Zamzar and cancelled. Thank you.

We're glad we were able to get your file converted successfully for you, Alexandria. Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a lovely 5-star review!

Hi, I'm really sorry that your file didn't convert well on this occasion. Unfortunately, at the moment we're not able to convert non-Latin scripts when converting from PDF to Word. Apologies, the Zamzar team
Had older files in the wps format which needed to be converted because I could not remember what their content was. Could not find my Works software to install, so went searching for a file converter. This did the trick. Thanks so much!

Mil gracias por la rapidez y eficacia del trabajo que realizan. Es fluida y muy exacta en su transformación
I was interested in Zamzar and was told it was free, safe and legal. The song I tried to move from wav to mp4 was too big. Therefore, there was a fee. I don't know if I missed this information on their site, but I was under the impression this would be a free service.
Hi Rae, we do offer a genuinely free service for files up to 50MB in size (and for two conversions per 24 hours). We try to make this file size limit clear at the point you upload your file, but sorry if you missed that. For files larger than 50MB, you would need a paid account. We hope that makes sense. The Zamzar team
After working with Zamzar representatives they have now corrected their conversion process when converting an mp3 to m4a file to basically match the quality submitted. I now find this process very satisfactory.
We're glad the converted files are now the quality you are needing, and sorry again for the issues. Thanks ever so much for posting an update. The Zamzar team
I'm confused about this service. Why is the quality of your converted mp3 to m4a so ridiculously poor? The mp3s (limit 2 per day as a free user) are 320kbps, but the m4a files returned are at 32kbps. They should be at 256kbps.
Excellent service – all the video and audio formats (4) I needed were accommodated.
Contact with service desk was efficient and helpful.
I highly recommend Zamzar.
Thanks so much for recommending us, Stephen, and for your 5-star review. We're so pleased you loved our service!
So many sites offer a free conversion which turns out to require a standing order or even a direct debit which I would then have to cancel. Some offer a "free" service which is free only after you have paid a fee. Zamzar uploads, converts and downloads quickly. You get a download directly. You don't even HAVE to give an email address but if you do you get a notification. Didn't even notice adverts or spurious downloads that annexe your browser. How do they do it?
Tip for consumers:
don't Google free online conversions. They're not free! I always have to go back to Zamzar

Thanks so much for your great 5-star review, Steven; we really appreciate it! We're pleased to hear our free file conversion service helps you out! And yes, we don't display ads on our site anymore because we wanted to offer a better experience for customers. We operate a business model that generates revenue through paid accounts for people who want to convert larger/more files per day, and this enables us to offer a free service for smaller file conversions. Thanks again!
Converted many files but 1 very complex diagram got 'stuck' Emailed it in as advised by the website and a fully converted file was returned to me. Brilliant!
Thanks so much for the 5-star review, Andrew! We're really pleased our team were able to quickly help you out with the problematic file.
Dont use if u value your time uploading multiple files, got so annoyed converting my homework at 5 am for 30 minutes when they told me I cant dowload half of it that was already converted bc of their 2 free dowload limit I had to write a review of their $#*!ty site to relief myself
There are better and free websites
Hi Teodore, we're really sorry to hear you had a frustrating experience using our service. We do offer 2 free file conversions per 24 hours, but if you'd like to convert more files than this then you would need to sign up for a paid account - unfortunately we have to place a limit somewhere so we can be a sustainable business. We're sorry if you didn't realise there was a 2-file limit for our free service when you uploaded your files. Apologies, the Zamzar team.
I ran into a very minor issue and the customer service literally responded within 10 minutes with a very generous solution to my problem that would have otherwise costed me a lot of money. I will already recommend this to all my friends who need a converter because of my interaction with their customer service. Amazing.

I dropped my. Docx into their site, and a few seconds later it popped out completed. Perfect results! Easy-Peasy!
This makes it simple and fast to convert the occasional document without bugging someone else to do it for me. Thanks, guys!

Hi Kathleen, we're so glad to hear that you found our file conversion site really easy and quick to use. Thank you for leaving such a great review! The Zamzar team
I paid for the "$9 subscription" and the very next day 80 bucks was taken from my account by Zamzar, I didn't click another plan because the highest price for a plan is 25 bucks, I am greatly angered and will be taking legal action if I don't get my money back
Tip for consumers:
don't pay for anything
Hi Jared, Sorry you were charged an unexpected amount. It sounds like you ticked the checkbox to save money by paying annually for your account, instead of monthly, and this is why you'd have been charged $81. If you didn't mean to pay annually, we'd be very happy to change your account to a monthly one instead and refund the difference in cost. Alternatively, we can issue a full refund if you haven't yet used the account. Could you email us at support@zamzar.com and let us know how you'd like to proceed? Unfortunately, we don't know what email address you signed up with, so aren't able to email you directly about this. Thanks, the Zamzar team
I don't do a lot of file conversion and I only use their free level of service. But every once in a while they come in really, really handy. Their site just works, no waiting or anything. The description of five stars here is "You love it so much you want to tell the entire world!" And in this case for me it's no exaggeration, because the world is a more convenient place because Zamzar is in it.
Thanks so much for the great review, Steve! We're so glad our site helps you out!
Firstly, the file conversion program itself is excellent. Super-smooth, easy-to-use, fast, reliable. Secondly, at this point they offer the ability to convert two files a day for free, which is generous IMO. I wanted to convert at a more rapid pace, so I subscribed. Once again, process smooth as silk. Finally, I did have one billing issue, probably my own fault. Customer service responded to me promptly, courteously and clearly, and rectified my issue 100% to my satisfaction. I know, I sound like some kind of teenage groupie, but what can I say -- I love it when a business really gets things right.!
Thanks so much for the glowing review, Charles! It's great to hear you found our conversion service quick, easy and reliable, and we're glad our customer support team could help you out. Thanks, the Zamzar team
I had some trouble using Zamzar (not reflective of their product but rather my files and some other extenuating circumstances). Customer support reached out and worked with me. They went above and beyond to resolve things. I greatly appreciated their flexible and conscientious support.
Thanks so much for the great review, Bethanie! We're glad our support team could help. The Zamzar team
Thank you Zamar for going out of your way to help me. I sent several PDF bank statements to Zamar so they could convert them to cvs files as I was transferring over to a new accounting system. I received an email stating there was an issue (they were scans of statements) and was shocked to see that the technical department would try and decipher the information the next morning. Because they were statements that had come in the mail and I had scanned them instead of receiving them directly from my bank online, Zamar was unable to convert them. I was sent an apology email and offered a refund because of this. Even though Zamar was unable to convert my copies, I will use them in the future and will refer them to others for several reasons. Communication was exceptional and the customer service they gave was better than any online services I've experienced in quite some time. Zamar, you made a big impression on me and I just want to say thank you for your kindness, your exceptional customer service and your business ethics!

Thank you so much for your 5-star review of our service! We're sorry that we weren't able to convert these particular files (some types of bank statements can't be converted because they are encrypted), but we're glad to hear that you were pleased with our customer service and communication, and that you wouldn't hesitate to use our service again in the future. Thanks, the Zamzar team
It has been impossible to stop them from charging my card for months after we deactivated the account. This is a fraudulent company go somewhere else. Also, none of the Beta or experimental converters work whatsoever.
Hi Mark, We're sorry to hear you weren't happy with our service; we are a genuine company who take pride in offering an efficient and helpful service. We do make it clear on our site (including on the account sign-up page) that it's the account-holder's responsibility to cancel their subscription when they no longer want it, and unfortunately we can't find any record of you cancelling your account with us; this is why you continued to be charged. We've now cancelled your account for you so there'll be no further charges. Your files all seem to have converted successfully through our site. If you had problems with any of the file conversions, could you please email us with the details, and we'll take a look for you? Thanks, the Zamzar team
I had a short video sent to me (my mother singing), she is over one hundred years old, it was done in another country and I could not open it, for several years I was trying. Then I found the Greatest ZAMZAR and I can enjoy it now. Thank you very much ZAMZAR, you are the greatest intellectual, gifted magnificent technicians ever!

I needed to convert a PDF to a DXF and found Zamzar. I was very worried about the lengthy T&Cs but didn't notice anything terrible when I skimmed them. It was these sitejabber reviews that gave me confidence to try.
In the end I wasn't even asked for an email address and my small conversion worked fine!
Nick, Wrexham
We're glad our site helped you out with converting your file to DXF format, Nick! Thanks so much for posting the review!
I have no idea how but this site can convert AAC to FLAC and make the file SMALLER
It's amazing and most other services end up increasing the file size by over 3 times
I was asked for my personal email address in order to get my file converted. Okay, I gave it. Later, I received an email, that file (a simple xls file) is failed to be converted. Later, I started to receive lots of spam on my email address.
Hi, sorry that your file failed to convert successfully - most files do convert first time through our site. If you'd like us to see if we can manually convert the file for you, please could you send it to us at support@zamzar.com? Also, please be assured that your email address is only used to send you the link to your converted file (or a message to say the conversion has failed); we never use email addresses for marketing and never share/sell email addresses, so unfortunately it's a coincidence if you've been receiving more spam emails recently. The Zamzar team.
As an electrician, architects often send drawings from they CAD programs believing evryone can see them (arrogance). Your conversion program has been very useful. Thank you so much.
That's great to hear, Chris! We're glad our site has helped you out. Thanks for commenting! The Zamzar team
