Zamzar

Zamzar now supports conversion of Apple iWork (Pages, KeyNote and Numbers) files into a variety of other useful formats including Microsoft Office formats.

We’re really excited about these new conversions – as the number of Mac users continues to grow rapidly more and more people are using iWork to generate and share documents, presentations and spreadsheets, yet not everyone can open them … until now.

You can use Zamzar to upload any Pages (word processing doc), KeyNote (presentation) or Numbers (spreadsheet) and convert them to any one of the following formats:

Pages (.pages) to:

• doc – Microsoft Word Document
• pdf – Portable Document Format
• rtf – Rich Text Format
• txt – Text document

KeyNote (.key) to:

• ppt – Microsoft Powerpoint Presentation

Numbers (.numbers) to:

• csv – Comma Separated Values
• pdf – Portable Document Format
• xls – Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet

iWork is an office suite of desktop applications created by Apple for the Mac OS X and iOS operating systems, and Zamzar supports conversion for all versions of iWork from iWork ’05 right through to the very latest release (currently iWork ’09).

Useful tip: Files created by iWork before the iWork ’09 release are saved into directories. As you cannot upload directories to Zamzar, to convert these files make sure you compress them into a .zip format first so that your directory becomes a .zip file named “someName.pages.zip”, like so:

This is the world’s first support for conversion of iWork files – No other service exists (online or offline) to do this independently from a Mac (even Apple’s iWork.com requires you to own iWork to use it !), and as everything is based in a browser you can peform the conversion on any platform

We’ll be rolling out support for even more “to” formats for Keynote over the coming weeks.

Happy converting,
The Zamzar Team.
