Websites and web resources to convert files for free

To convert files for free online you need to use simple platforms: from CloudConvert to Online Convert, here are the best ones

When you download documents from the Internet or when you receive an attachment it can happen that you find yourself with a file that you can't open. This is a problem that can happen with any type of file, from audio to video and images.

Unfortunately on the Net you can find sites where you can convert all types of files for free. This allows us not to download on the computer a program for the conversion of audio files, one for the conversion of video files and so on. It also avoids clogging the memory of our device too much. As always, when you rely on an Internet service, you should make sure that it is safe. Sometimes, in fact, these portals are exploited by hackers to spread malware and scams to unsuspecting users. If you need to convert a PDF file into a Word document, follow this simple guide.
