We’re broadening our support for Microsoft Office formats, and you can now use Zamzar to convert any of the following formats into Microsoft’s .xlsx format – an increasingly popular spreadsheet format introduced in MS Office 2007:
- csv – Comma Separated Values
- ods – OpenDocument spreadsheet
- wks – Microsoft Works Spreadsheet
- xls – Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet
We hope this conversion will be useful to those of you who receive documents in these formats from colleagues and friends who need them returned in the .xlsx format.
Happy converting,

Converting YouTube videos – now with video titles !
We’ve just updated Zamzar’s YouTube video conversion service, so that converted videos are now named with the title of the video from YouTube.
Previously videos had just been using the YouTube video ID, which often resulted in some rather odd names for your converted videos !
We hope you enjoy the change 
Happy Converting,
