    If you use an online file converter or downloader, be sure to analyze
    any resulting file from the site, as if they are an executable or
    JavaScript, they are most definitely malicious.

    With Linux these online sites are unnecessary. Converting files is extremely easy (and fast) using terminal commands.


    Even something like pandoc can be installed on a Windows machine.
