File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "DST") to another (referred to as "OFM"). This may be necessary for various reasons.

So, how can we perform DST to OFM file conversion? Fortunately, there are many tools and computer programs available that enable file format conversion. These tools work by reading the data from the file in format DST and transforming it into format OFM.
