Previously we had mentioned an interesting article that taught us how download important information from Wikipedia to the computer, as long as we adopt the little trick that allowed us to download it through an electronic book; We can also have it in PDF format, something that may not be able to be read on certain personal computers. At that moment we could be using an interesting online application that will help us convert to another different format.
For example, if the e-book that we downloaded using the trick suggested above cannot be read on a computer where Adobe Acrobat has not been installed (because it is in PDF format), then perhaps we can convert it to a .Doc to be able to open this same e-book in our Office suite. The online application that we will review below offers us that alternative and much more, since everything will depend on whether we want to convert images, documents, audio files or eBooks.
How does this online Convertio application work?
As is our custom, we recommend that you go to the official Convertio website so that you can make use of each of the benefits that this online application offers; right there you will meet a friendly interface, which you can easily recognize in each of its work environments.
The red button that you can admire towards the top left will help you select the files you want to convert from one format to another; With the use of this button you could select any element from the file explorer to drop it on the online application area. You can also use the small drop-down arrow that will show towards the right side of the red button.
At that same moment, a few other additional options will appear to use when importing the file we want to convert, which means that:
- We can choose the file from our personal computer.
- We will have the possibility of adding an element from the URL if it is hosted on the web.
- Use the services of Google Drive or DropBox to import a file that is hosted therein and that obviously are your property, since you will necessarily have to use the respective access credentials to be able to explore these documents hosted there.
Formats compatible with this online application
This is the biggest advantage that we have found in Convertio, since the compatibility with different types of elements is multiple; you can import files to convert from the following class:
- PDF files.
- Images.
- Documents.
- Audio.
- eBooks.
Now, the file formats to which you could convert the aforementioned ones suggest those of the type Doc, images with different types of extensions, documents and of course, eBooks; We could find a completely anecdotal fact at this time, since if Convertio helps us import an audio file, what format could it be converted to? The doubt is raised because in the area of file export there is no element that can be compatible with them.
Once you have chosen the document to process and subsequently, defined to both input and output format The final part of the procedure comes, where Convertio will help you save the conversion to your Google Drive or DropBox service.
In spite of There is no option to download the converted file to your computer, but if there is an alternative to it; We will only have to activate the box that refers to the possibility of sending the file that we have processed by email. Right there we will have to write to the recipient's email, which could well be ours if we do not want to use any of the cloud storage services offered by this online application.
There is no type of requirement to use Convertio, therefore, it is a great convenience if we do not have some type of specialized application for this type of tasks.
