Adobe Could Learn a Thing or 2 from Zamzar about making PDFs!

I use Zamzar to help assemble and package legal documents. Our little company drafts, issues and serves subpoenas for all kinds of records for use in litigation and assembles the responsive documents in a trial-ready package (usually a PDF). We receive many different file types in the responses (Word docs, Excel sheets, email MSG files), and they all need to be combined into an organized package that can be easily navigated. Adobe plug-ins to convert files to PDFs are notoriously "buggy" and used to crash Word and File Explorer frequently, and Microsoft Print to PDF took forever. With Zamzar, I can select multiple files at once and with one right-click, convert them all to PDFs in seconds, and they're instantly dropped right into the same folder I'm working in with the same file name. Zamzar has saved weeks of my life in time and loads of stress! It's been a real lifesaver!

Zamzar provided a 1st class customer experience

Zamzar provided a 1st class customer experience for me.
I signed up to convert specific files for a project. I inadvertently paid for a years subscription thinking I could cancel if after I had converted my files.

Customer service very kindly changed my contract to 'monthly' and agreed to refund the difference.

Great service and great file conversion product.

Don’t convert here it’s not for free and the converting takes like an hour and more. I don’t really understand why people have to get money for everything even simple converting. If I could I would give it a 0/5

Hi Kristy, thanks for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear you were disappointed with your experience.

We do offer a free file conversion service, although there are limits on the size and number of files that can be converted for free. We explain these limits on our website and also within our Terms - sorry if you missed these.

If your file was within our free conversion limits (see https://www.zamzar.com/sizelimits/), we’d be very happy to investigate. Please send the file (or details of the conversion) to support@zamzar.com and our team will take a look.

Thanks for giving Zamzar a try.

It promises a free conversion then forces you to create an account to fownlaod the file, then it forces you to buy a subscription. Complete waste of time.

Hi Julia, sorry for the frustration, and that our free service limits weren't clear to you.
You can use Zamzar for free without signing up or subscribing, for up to two files every 24 hours, as long as your files are within our free size limits for that conversion. We show these limits on this page https://www.zamzar.com/sizelimits/, on our specific conversion pages, and also let customers know with a pop-up if a file is too large for the free service.

If you believe your file was within the listed free use limit, we'd of course be happy to investigate and assist you further. To do this, please contact us at support@zamzar.com and we'll be able to look into it for you.

Team engineered a custom solution for me

After I signed up for the API access, the file type I needed wasn't available, but the team immediately asked for sample files so they could engineer a solution and see if they could add the new file type to their list of available file conversions. Within a couple days they converted my file to PDF. They truly went above and beyond for a new customer.

I manage an all-volunteer nonprofit for endangered species conservation. Photos are a critical component of our state-required documentation. We have 5 teams out in the field every day of the week, plus two supervisor crews, so I receive dozens of photos every single day. Many of them are sent to me in HEIC format but the database I'm required to use will only accept JPGs. Zamzar has been a huge time-saver for me when I'd otherwise have to save each photo individually in the appropriate format.

After years of using the paid service, I received a final notification that my account was being deactivated for nonpayment. I had not gotten prior notices so I paid for a new account. I responded to the deactivation notice not expecting it to be seen by a human. Not only did they read it, they replied that a system glitch had prevented the previous notices from being sent. They even adjusted the cost back to the old amount I was paying.

Thank you for not only providing a great service, but for your outstanding customer service as well. You have earned a customer for life.

Misleading and a complete waste of time. The site makes it appear that converting an MP4 to MP3 is free, so I waited a long time for the conversion to finish. Only afterwards was I asked to pay to access the converted file. That should be made clear before the conversion starts. It felt like a bait-and-switch. Stay away.

Hi Joshua, we're sorry to hear that your experience with Zamzar was frustrating.

We do offer a free conversion service, but it has file size limits. If a file exceeds those limits, a paid plan is required to access the converted file. We explain this during the conversion process and in the Terms shown before a conversion starts, as well as on our file size limits page accessible at https://www.zamzar.com/sizelimits/.

We understand that it wasn't clear enough in your case, and we're sorry for the disappointment. Feedback like yours is helpful, and we'll take it on board as we continue to improve how we communicate our free service and its limits.

If you'd like to contact our support team at support@zamzar.com with more details about the file you were trying to convert, we'd be happy to look into your experience further.

I really like Zamzar!! its just it's really unfair, because we have to pay for downloading our files, and some people can't really afford it so i hope they bring the prices down a little😅

Hi, we're glad you like Zamzar. We do offer up to 2 free conversions per day for files within the file size limits listed here: https://www.zamzar.com/sizelimits/. It sounds like your files may have been larger than the file size limits, or that you were converting more than 2 files per day, which is why you needed to pay. Unfortunately, we do need to charge for some conversions, in order to be able to keep running the service and to be able to keep offering high-quality conversion tools (which cost more to run). We hope you understand. Thanks, the Zamzar team

Helped me with my account and auto-pay option

When I had a personal problem and needed to temporarily suspend my account, they were very helpful in changing the status of my account for the time being, so that I would not be charged for the period while I am not using my account. Their email responses were quick and very friendly.

Okay

Okay, so... honestly? Zamzar is a total lifesaver. I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve been, like, right in the middle of a massive project—running a content marketing agency is basically just one long game of "guess which file format the client sent"—and then... boom. A file just won't open. Or it’s some weird, obscure extension that nothing else recognizes. Ugh, it’s the worst.
But yeah... I started using this site and, man, it’s just... it’s so easy. Like, aaa... you don't even have to think about it. You just drag the file in, and it’s done. No annoying pop-ups, no "sign up for a million things first." Just... utility.
