Once I paid it stopped working
Gerard P.March 15, 2015
Pros
none at all
Cons
Worked using free/trial service, but once I paid and used the Basic service each file generated an error.
Summary
Might be a ripoff, or might be broken. In any case I called paypal and got a refund on my first month, and cancelled the subscription. Not recommended/
So far so good

Pros
Does exactly what it says for small files, it gives options for a paid account but you can still use the service for free if you you have common knowledge of downloading from internet sites.
Cons
None so far, besides expected quality loss during conversion
Summary
Worked really good for a bunch of 5-15 second clips I had stored for 10 years.
Not a free site.
January 7, 2015
Pros
I don't know if their pay site functions well or not but they advertise it as being a free to use site, which is a lie.
Cons
Claims to offer a free service, but is actually a pay site. Scam.
Summary
I was looking t transfer a file from .mov format to .avi to get some editing work done. Not having access to my computer, I googled ".mov to .avi" to see if there was a website I could use to avoid downloading files on a friend's computer. Zamzar claims to be a "Free Online Conversion Site" but told me that to upload my thirty second .mov file I would have to upgrade to a paid account. So it's a scam site. Any site that puts "Free" in their description and then immediately asks you to pay for their service doesn't deserve your money. If you need a conversion site use one that is up front about what they're going to charge you. Bottom line: Zamzar's chosen tag line is a lie. If they're willing to lie about that, odds are good they lie about the quality of their service, too. Avoid at all costs.
If it works....useless....feel scammed

Pros
None - Never worked on the different file sizes i tried
Cons
I can't think of any ... why would you use something if it fails to perform
Summary
If it worked then i would sign up and use it but it never worked so i can't recommend anyone trying this service. Free should always be taken with a grain of salt.
Free version is the usual cheesy sleazy come-on
bog99November 11, 2014
Pros
Will convert a SMALL (trivial size) file immediately -- that's the cheesy sleazy come-on.
Cons
Put in, say, a 3-page text file to turn into MP3, and then you never hear from them -- not even "sorry, we're busy now, we'll send you the file in 3 weeks", but that's where they leave you. Don't waste your time with these something for nothing games.
Summary
Free version is the usual cheesy sleazy come-on
Did the job
AmyWalker74February 20, 2014
Pros
Fast. FREE. No software download. Super easy.
Cons
Only con (which really isn't a big deal) was that it kept making you think you had to register with your email...but if you read carefully you would see that the big register button was NOT required & you could pick the "small print" link below it to get the actual downloaded file you wanted. If you've ever used freeware, you should be used to how to navigate to avoid the "land mines."
Summary
I had a .wpd file I needed to see & couldn't get open any other way (so far). Went to the site and within five minutes it was converted to a pdf file. Perfect!
worked as described
ticklesmcgeeAugust 8, 2013
Pros
straightforward, fast, legit
Cons
none that i experienced
Summary
i use zamzar to convert publisher files into word docs and pdfs. works great.
Lackluster.
MashkaiAugust 1, 2013
Pros
Easy to use. Free.
Cons
No indication of whether your conversion worked or not until you receive a confirmation email. Out of hundreds of attempts today, one of them was successful. Just one. No indication of problems encountered so no way of correcting the issue and trying again.
Summary
Well Rounded
TechnoWingMarch 27, 2012
Pros
Many file types to choose from
Cons
Not all the file types work Not all links work Seldom gets errors Spam provider Pretty low quality
Summary
Its cool, but you know. Yeah
useless, pointless
seeharmonyMarch 21, 2012
Pros
free, but?????
Cons
I converted a simple pdf to doc format but it didn't convert it, it just put images of the pages onto a doc! So now instead of a pdf I have images on a doc that I can't do anything with.
Summary
Pointless. A waste of time.
