Guides
Practical guides for the conversions people actually need — old camcorder footage, music libraries, game textures and Kindle books — with honest notes on what works and what cannot.
Tapes, memory cards and DVDs from the 2000s hold video in formats phones and browsers no longer open. This guide covers what those files are and how to turn a whole folder of them into MP4 in one go.
Music collections accumulate formats: FLAC rips, M4A from iTunes, WMA from Windows Media Player, even RealAudio from the dial-up era. Here is how to get them all playing on one device — and when converting is a bad idea.
Older engines, mod tools and asset pipelines still want TGA. Newer tools export PNG. This page converts between them without touching the alpha channel or the pixel data.
Ebooks come in a tangle of formats — Amazon's AZW and AZW3, the older MOBI, the open EPUB, and CBZ/CBR for comics. This page converts between all of them, and explains the one case where no converter can help.
