How to Convert Any File to Any Format

A file format is a name that usually comes after the file name, called an extension, and it determines what type of file it is, what you can do with that file, and what program is needed to open that file. For laymen who don’t understand anything about it, think different file formats like different languages, which are only understood by specific platforms and applications. So, if you want to access a given file and you don’t have the program, you may need to convert it into a format that is easily accessible. Like something that you created with the help of macOS word processor won’t be accessible by Windows word processor, and you are going to need to convert it. In this article, I am going to tell you how you can convert any file format, from youtube to mp3 and many more, so that you don’t have to face any trouble.

Check the Application You Are Using

First of all, before you continue with converting any format, you are going to need to check which application you are using. Most of the time, when you are saving a file, you will be given a number of options depending on the application you are using. For example, if you are using Google Docs, it brings up all the formats available for saving. You can click on file and download to bring up all the options, which include Microsoft Word, PDF, and plain text.
