Converters

This section offers you converters/filters, developed specifically for our products or which can be combined particularly well with them.
We separated them from the 'Add-ons' because this page will certainely increase in size over time, there are two kind of converters: freeware converters (sometime open source) and commercial. We propose you commercial converters as well because they often produce better results. All the commercial products here were tested with ECMerge and are sure to work.

If you would like to see other converters for our products, contact us.

This page is still incomplete, we add every month new converters for new file formats.

Important informationYou need the very latest built_in.js (unzip the archive in the folder macros/ in ECMerge installation directory) so as automatic detection works!
