It is supposed to provide users with the ability to convert documents from one format to another swiftly, and tests show that this extension does work reliably when it comes to file conversion. However, the users might encounter some issues if they opt to use EasyConvert because its installer might tamper with the default configuration of Google Chrome. One of the modifications that this add-on is known to bring concerns to the default search service, which might be set to Srchbar.com.

The software is found on the page ‘Thedoctorpdf.com,’ and it also is featured on the Chrome Web Store for free. Installing it provides the users with a drop-down menu that can be used to initiate the file converter. However, we would not advise you to use EasyConvert for this purpose because there are plenty of better alternatives that can offer the same functionality without tampering with your Web browser’s configuration.
