Zamzar built its reputation on email-delivered conversions and broad legacy-format support. FileConvert keeps the workflow in the browser — upload, convert, download — without the email round-trip.

This table summarizes publicly visible positioning as of writing — Zamzar has adjusted its plans more than once over its long history and may again.
Zamzar is free for small, occasional jobs: the no-payment tier caps file size and daily volume, and busy periods have historically meant waiting in a queue. Its paid subscriptions step up in tiers that raise the size ceiling, remove the wait, and add conveniences like online file storage.
If what pushes you to pay is only speed and size — not storage — compare those tiers against FileConvert's credit packs before subscribing: pay once, the credits never expire, and there's no recurring charge to remember. Zamzar's current tier boundaries are on zamzar.com/pricing and have moved over its twenty-year run.
Zamzar vs CloudConvert vs FileConvert: the full three-way comparison
Skip straight to the conversion you need:
If you need to convert an unusual legacy or scientific format that's not in mainstream tools, Zamzar's headline 1200+ format count is genuinely useful. For everyday audio/video/image/document/archive/ebook conversions, FileConvert's focused set covers what most users need.
No — by design. Converted files download directly in your browser when ready. No email required, no inbox clutter.
No — the free tier works without payment or card details. It has a daily limit and a maximum file size; the paid tiers remove those ceilings.
No. Because delivery happens directly in the browser, the file never sits in a mailbox or download locker — it's removed from the servers shortly after you grab it.
No. Upload, convert, download — all without registering. Accounts exist for subscribers on the paid plans.
Zamzar itself is a legitimate service that has operated since 2006 — it is not malware, and searches like 'zamzar virus' usually trace back to lookalike sites or misleading ads elsewhere, not to Zamzar. The sensible precautions apply to any converter: type the domain yourself, watch for fake download buttons, and prefer services that state clearly when uploaded files are deleted — which both Zamzar and FileConvert do.
