Trust & install

Is Legacy File Converter safe?

Short answer: yes — when you install it from this site or the Microsoft Store. Every conversion runs locally on your Windows PC. Files are not uploaded. Here is who publishes the app, how to verify the publisher name Windows shows, and what to do if SmartScreen asks for confirmation.

Who publishes it

Legacy File Converter is published by Green 18 Enterprises, an Arizona software company established in 1991. The product website is legacyfileconverter.com. The parent company site is green18enterprises.com.

  • Current version: 6.1.0
  • Installer: LegacyFileConverter-6.1.0.msi
  • Trial: 10 file conversions (full features)

We do not list a street address or phone number on this page. Support is by email.

Microsoft Store vs offline MSI

You can install the same Windows app two ways. Both include the free trial of 10 file conversions.

Microsoft Store

Install through the Microsoft Store listing. Microsoft distributes the package from its catalog. Useful if your PC or IT policy prefers Store apps.

View Store listing

Note: Store listing text can lag behind the live site. The official trial on this site and in PAD is 10 conversions; the Standard price shown on live pages and PAD is $79.95.

Offline MSI

Download the Windows Installer (LegacyFileConverter-6.1.0.msi) from legacyfileconverter.com. Same trial and features as the Store build — pick the option that fits your PC or policy.

How to verify the publisher

When Windows shows a publisher or company name for this product, look for Green 18 Enterprises. That is the name on the Microsoft Store listing for Legacy File Converter.

We do not claim that the MSI is code-signed. If Windows SmartScreen or an installer dialog appears for an unsigned or newly published download, that can happen for legitimate software — use the steps below and confirm the publisher name before continuing.

If Windows SmartScreen appears

On some PCs, Windows may show a SmartScreen (or similar) warning when you run a newly downloaded MSI. That does not mean the file is malware — it often means Windows has not built reputation for that installer yet.

  1. Confirm you downloaded from legacyfileconverter.com or installed from the official Microsoft Store listing.
  2. On the SmartScreen window, choose More info.
  3. Then choose Run anyway only if you are confident the download came from us.
  4. If a publisher name is shown, confirm it is Green 18 Enterprises.

Prefer not to use SmartScreen bypass? Install from the Microsoft Store instead.

Checksums & VirusTotal

Published SHA-256 checksums and a VirusTotal link for the current MSI are coming soon. We will not invent hashes or third-party scan URLs. Until those are posted here, verify the download source (this site or the Microsoft Store) and the publisher name above.

System requirements

From the live product PAD listing (same facts used by software directories):

  • OS: Windows 10 or Windows 11 (64-bit)
  • Disk: approximately 1 GB for the bundled conversion engine
  • Other: no original legacy applications required
  • Not supported: macOS, Linux, or mobile

On a non-Windows device? See download help for platform guidance (that page is separate from this trust page).
