Select formats for conversion
Select “from” and “to” file formats in the “Convert from/to” boxes, in either order. Typing where
indicated filters the options (case insensitive); for example, typing “can” or “NON” reduces the number of
options to one: “can: Canonical SMILES.”
When converting multiple files with, say, extension cif within an archive (e.g., ZIP), select the extension of
the contained files, not the exception of the archive - in this case: "cif: Crystallographic Information File."
If you change your mind about a conversion, click the “Reset” button.
When both formats have been selected, converters able to carry out this conversion appear in the
“Conversion options” box below along with an indication of conversion quality (many conversions not yet
tested) and whether or not the converter is supported on this site.
Note for mobile users: On phone and tablet browsers, the format selection
will only update after you finish typing. In order to see the matching formats, you will then have to tap the
selection box, which will bring up a list of the matching formats which you can select from.
Conversion not available? The GUI interface for this service only supports direct conversions
between file formats. Many additional conversions are possible via multi-step “chained” conversions, which are
supported by the
downloadable command-line interface.
