How-To: Convert Almost Any Media File Without Software

There are so many different types of file formats that it becomes extremely difficult to keep track of all of them. Most of the time, your computer can’t even play certain files that you may have downloaded and wish to open. The biggest culprits of this are audio and video files. They come in all these random file formats where finding a player software for them can be extremely difficult, and so your only remaining option is to use some sort of converter to convert the file to a more popular format.

However, the problem with that is that if it is such a random file format, finding a converter can be difficult in itself. Furthermore, once you do find that program, it most likely is a trial and you have to install it on your system, then convert, then uninstall. All this is a hassle and a pain, especially for one measely file conversion. That’s where online file converters come in. Keep reading for the low-down on one of the most comprehensive online file converters.

So, this magical site that supports a plethora of file formats is (aptly named) Media Convert. It handles all sorts of audio and video, is relatively fast, and even has advanced options for the power user. It can be either as easy as select your file/output, hit convert, and download (as it automatically detects your input file type), or as advanced as selecting start/end time, and more. Media Convert is a great option not only if you need to only convert one file, but it’s also great if you’re on a computer that you don’t have permission to install programs on but still need to convert some file.
