Both .fasta and .fa files are most likely the very same format for storing DNA information, so you actually do not have to convert fasta to fa or vice versa, simple renaming of the extension might be actually enough. If not, you would have to resave the files in some DNA sequence converter, for example Convertrix.

The table with program actions contains information about what each program is capable of doing with their files. This may be a good pointer for further searches for certain file conversions and help you find the converter you are looking for if our search result is insufficient for you. However, it is far from perfect and may sometimes show results which are not really usable because of the nature of the software handles the files. So a conversion that appears as possible, just because of matched actions, may in fact not be possible.
