This note focuses on commonly
required conversions.
Every computer file uses a specific format - but in the
end the program you want to use it with will only accept
some of them. So it is often necessary to convert the format
used for images, text, video and sound (audio).
The format is primarily specified by the file suffix - or,
saying it the other way around, the file suffix indicates
which program it belongs to. The best way to find out the
connection between file suffix and program is by visiting Fileext .
If you are not familiar with suffixes, it may be because
by default, Windows hides the suffixes. To see them, go to My
Computer, then Tools>Folder
Options>View and under Advanced Settings
check Show Hidden Files and Folders instead of Do
not Show Hidden Files and Folders.
