There is a search box at top right, which helps you to check if the conversion type you need is supported by the service. What's more, it is free for use. I have not came across any virus or malware download on online-convert.com. So I think it is a reliable and safe web-based converter.

PDFConvertFree.com is an all-inclusive site where you can split, merge, convert, create, rotate, encrypt, compress, grayscale PDFs. No need for signing up or submitting email address.

This is a website that offers different kinds of small PDF processors for Win. One of them I tried is named "All PDF Converter Pro" for changing PDF to images, Word, PPTX, Excel, TXT, XML, EPUB, HTML. The output quality is satisfactory and the conversion speed is fast. You an also use it to combine several PDF documents together. I think it is a handy tool that should be at your fingertips if you often need to convert PDF to other formats.

Softpedia is a large library for a wide range of software for Win, Mac, Linux, Android, and iOS. What is great about Softpedia is the tests and reviews for software products.

Usually, I ask questions and get the information I want on two platforms. One is Quora, the other one is Stack Exchange. Stack Exchange is a forum where people from different fields can discuss, communicate, and help each other in classified communities. Due to a large user base, there are insanely amount of information. You almost can find any info you need on the exact problem there. Besides, you can expect a quick response to your question. Personally, I think two best communities of Stack Exchange is "Stack Overflow", centering lots of web programming questions and English Language & Usage, gathering questions primarily about idioms and grammars.

I mainly use CCleaner as my Disk C cleaner on my Dell laptop. This small yet powerful program is a thorough system cleaner. It deeply scans your system and then lists a lot of items you can select to clean related to Windows system and third-party applications. You can wipe off a lot of things such as browser cache, temporary files, unused craps, cookies, logs. What is worth being mentioned is the plug-in "CCEnhancer". It adds extra cleaning rules to CCleaner to free up more disk space. I found that because CCEnhancer adds more options to clean, the program would load all scanned items slightly more slowly than before.

The paid-for upgrade to pro version brings you several more features including "Real-time Monitoring", "Scheduled Cleaning", "Automatic Updates" and "Premium Support". These are not quite useful for me but might be necessary to others.

In a whole, I think CCleaner is a great choice to clean trash when your computer gets clogged up.

I take SmallPDF as my online PDF to Word converter but its capabilities are not limited to converting PDF to/from other formats. It is a very intuitive and easy-to-use tool to handle PDF documents but not compeltely free. You can only compress 2 PDFs in an hour unless you pay $6 per month.

FreewareFiles is a download portal for you to obtain a wide variety of free software programs. You also will find useful "How to" tutorials and "Top" reviews. The drawback is that a few ads are scattered throughout the site and you possibly mistake the ad button as the download button for the software you want.

I've been using OnlineVideoConverter for a while. Basically to convert online videos to MP3 files. The downside of this site is the bothering commercials that makes it cluttered and the annoying pop-ups that appear sometimes.
