Portable Macrorit NTFS to FAT32 Converter

Microsoft asks you to choose between the NTFS and FAT32 filesystems when installing Windows on the hard disk, at the drive formatting step. Since NTFS is newer, Windows 8 and 10 select it by default, for example.

While FAT32 is limited to 4GB in file size and 2TB in volume size, NTFS doesn't have these restrictions and, unlike FAT32, it's faster when it comes to file transfers. On the other hand, NTFS is the better choice if you plan to use only Windows, while FAT32 is more stable when Windows interacts with other OSes, like Linux or Mac.

There is no clear winner between the two since both have their ups and downs. If you need FAT32 partitions but have only NTFS drives at the moment, you don't have to go through the trouble of reinstalling the operating system just to reach the drive formatting stage. Instead, you can use a tool like Macrorit NTFS to FAT32 Converter.

Designed with the casual user in mind, the application requires no kind of experience with formatting sofwtare. It puts all options at your disposal in an intuitive manner and clear-cut interface. All disk drives are automatically detected at startup, including removable devices, and you can check out their capacity, free space, current filesystem, type (e.g. GTP), and status (e.g. healthy).

All you have to do is click the preferred drive to proceed with the conversion job instantly. Confirmation is necessary to make it happen. If any errors occur, you are informed of its nature (for example, if the cluster size is too small for FAT32).

A hidden trick to Macrorit NTFS to FAT32 Converter is that it's capable of formatting even drives with over 1TB volume size or 2GB filesize, as long as you run it from the command prompt interface. It's compatible with many disk storage types like FireWire, USB, SATA, and IDE. If you change your mind, however, you cannot return to NTFS from FAT32 (not with this tool, at least).

Taking into consideration its straightforward interface and options, Macrorit NTFS to FAT32 Converter comes to the aid of any users looking to quickly create FAT32 drives from NTFS. This edition is portable, requiring no installation, which means that it can be saved to USB flash drive to directly run it on any machine for filesystem conversion.
