Overall, good software. I’m able to quickly produce good videos/slideshows. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I love all the options...the music library is huge and there are plenty of designs available. The direct link from Lightroom is a game changer! #### Cons While there are a lot of design/template options, I would like more. I make about 50 videos a year and haven’t seen many new designs over the past 2 years. --- ### Animoto for Education - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Michelle Z. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used other for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Animoto has allowed me to present material/lessons in a more engaging way, that is also fun for students (& myself) to create. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I love Animoto’s ease of use, along with the amazing quality final product. It looks professionally made, even when they’re created by 4th graders. #### Cons I love that there are templates to use, but I find them sometimes restricting. I also wish we could control the amount of time in each slide. #### Reasons for switching to Animoto Animoto is much more fun, and has easier to use templates. The final product is much more engaging. --- ### Deceptive double payment subscription renewal practice - Overall rating: 1/5 - Reviewer: Jim m. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Media Production - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: March 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Ended very badly. Once they auto-renew, it's a nightmare to get it reversed. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 2/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 2/5 #### Pros It was OK. But considering the head aches experienced with their deceptive subscription renewal practice, there are better alternatives #### Cons Deceptive double payment subscription renewal practice of auto-renewing and charging your credit card again. #### Vendor response Hey Jim, Thanks for sharing your experience with Animoto. It sounds like you may have already worked with our team on this, but if there's anything outstanding we're always just a message away! You can reach the Customer Team via help@animoto.com who can help look into next steps for you.

No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Love the animation and how videos come to life. #### Cons Which for a greater library of videos to use on videos. #### Reasons for switching to Animoto Wanted a new look and rebrand which other companies offered. --- ### Image Slideshow to Music Creation App - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Nick A. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used other for more than 2 years - Reviewed: October 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall, adds another element to the classroom. I have also used Animoto to put together slideshows of my daughters that come out really well. Love the ability to share easily through a multitude of options including social media such as Twitter and Facebook. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I remember when Animoto first came out. I was using it in the classroom with students to curate their images for various assignments (book trailers, public service projects, social media campaigns) etc. This was something they enjoyed. There are workarounds to do similar things, like using Google Slides or PowerPoint, or iMovie, but this takes the guesswork out of it. A simple tool to be able to merge images and video into a slide presentations/slideshow and overlay music to it. Comes out very professional looking. Students enjoy sharing these as it requires minimal movie editing experience and is a lot easier than iMovie. If you are using a LMS, I love how you can embed this inside it! Another way for teachers to be creative in how they deliver the content to their students. #### Cons There aren't a lot of features or customization, but it is pretty straightforward in that you add images, add video, and ick a song. The rest is done by Animoto. There are templates to choose from as well, but would be nice to have a few more features/animations to make it more personal. --- ### Terrible experience - Overall rating: 1/5 - Reviewer: sam h. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Non-Profit Organization Management - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: November 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I tried to use Animoto to create a memorial service video. The experience was terrible, hard to navigate, and I couldn't produce anything useable, so quickly I asked for a refund and was denied, only told what I paid $180 could be applied to a future year. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 1/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 1/5 #### Pros Nothing #### Cons Scam: They take your money and no refund or cancellation, only apply what you've paid to a future year - will never use again! #### Reasons for switching to Animoto I thought that Animoto would be easier, I was wrong, not only was it not easier, but to get greater functionality, I had to select the higher priced option of $180 for pro., which didn't help at all. And I quickly quit the program and asked for a refund, they do not do refunds. They said I could cancel at any time, and assuming that this meant money needed back, I did cancel only to discover that with this company, it meant there would be no refund and the ability to use the software in the future. This was not clear. So during the saddest part of our lives, we reached out for hope of developing a slide video of our son's life, but nothing was produced. #### Vendor response So sorry to hear of your experience. Our Customer Team would be happy to help you out! You can reach us by email 24/7 at help@animoto.com Animoto offers Monthly plans as well as Annual payment options. By purchasing a 12 month commitment in selecting the Annual plan rather than a Monthly option, you completed your purchase and confirmed the total amount due through the check out flow, which also displays the plan duration. Cancelling your Annual plan now means you will not be charged a year later on the renewal date provided prior to checkout, rather than automatically refunding unused time. So you would have still had the services for the remainder of the year. If you haven't already, please reach out to our Customer Team to see how we can help further. Just mention that you recently posted a Capterra review so your ticket can get routed in the right direction. Replied November 2023 --- ### If you need to crank out marketing video fast and with few resources Animoto is your go to solution. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: James M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Higher Education - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Fast and easy way to generate dynamic content from assets submitted by non-professionals. Also a great way to quickly generate Social Media specific video content by professionals as well. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros While we produce longer form video using editing software such as Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere we still value our Animoto subscription to create something fast and flashy. For seasonal or holiday-based promotions or events, they have some great 'themed' backgrounds. We really get use out of Animoto when we have people share their photos and cell phone videos from events we can't attend and then we are able to quickly generate fun and engage videos that really capture the event. Being able to create 'square' aspect ration videos easily is enormously useful if your primary distribution is on Social Media. Just as great is the ability to go back and re-edit the video in 16x9 quickly and easily for display on a monitor or video wall. #### Cons Most of the music that Animoto has for its videos get ads placed on them when used on YouTube so we don't use them anymore and instead either upload youtube safe music from youtube or from royalty free music we purchase or own. Animoto has made great strides in creating some of their square and marketing video templates but could use some more holiday/seasonal and general styles as it has been a while since I've seen some new exciting themes. --- ### I LOVE this Software - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Abigail N. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Photography - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: December 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Creating promo videos for my client was a breeze, it was easy to create a simple but neat and attractive video using images, video clips, and some background music. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I knew of Animoto but had never used until my client (A photographer in Melbourne) suggested using it to create a promo video with images she had taken during one of her event photography gig. At first I was skeptical and was considering using Lumen 5 for that since I've used it for a while and I'm very comfortable with it. But Wow, Animoto is definitely 100 times better than Lumen 5. The interface is smooth, it's easy to use, it allowed me to upload images and videos to use. It also let me create "Quotes" as opposed to a "text" slide that's simply a text and the background color. I also like how the text element has an option for Title and subtitle, I also love how I can change the font size, spacing etc. #### Cons Animoto is perfect although I wouldn't say no to the ability to crop an uploaded video, especially when the final exported video has to be within a specific time frame. My client wanted a video no less than one minute but the video she had was over 3 minutes. I had to use Movavi to cut the video before uploading it to Animoto --- ### We make photovideo´s for our clients and post them online - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Nelleke P. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Use it all the time, its easy and beautiful results #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Its easy and the results are really great looking, our clients are very happy. Lots of choice in templates and lettertypes, colors, possibilities. Well I say lots but in any case plenty enough for my purpose. We make presentations for small hotels and B & B´s and display them on their webpages, it really makes for an easy but fabulous presentation. It took a while to figure out how it all works, but in the end its really simple. The share functions are super easy and everything seems to work just fine. I even uploaded my own music for the first time, which also works fine. Although there are lots to choose from in the library. #### Cons Support is a bit difficult, no online chat. I would like it if settings could be stored as favorites, as I forget which settings I like best. There also doesnt seem to be a duplicate button, which would be usefull. I also miss a help button or a how to guide, which would have saved me lots of time in the beginning. --- ### Great software, a little expensive - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Toiny W. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Arts and Crafts - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Overall it's been great for making short marketing videos #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros One of the best, if not the best, for adding text to video #### Cons I'm not thrilled at the high price and I struggle with getting the timing of video/text/music right --- ### Easy to use video platform - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Emily D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Insurance - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. My experience with Animoto has been nothing but positive. I'm able to make highly creative videos quickly and efficiently because of this platform. I don't have time to learn a program like AfterEffects, and that doesn't matter because Animoto can make amazing videos, too. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The platform is so easy to use, and it keeps getting better every year. I love having access to thousands of stock photos and videos included in my account. I can make a video of a super specific topic and know I'm going to be able to find all the images I need. Having all the stock audio is great, too. #### Cons For a "brand", it would be great to be able to input 3 to 4 colors, instead of just two. If you want the text and highlight to be 2 colors plus the background another color, that's 3 needed right there. --- ### A great tool that enables us to produce amazing videos with simple steps. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Molsy K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Building Materials - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Animoto provides us with great services that help us prepare amazing presentations. It also helped us a lot in producing videos for our marketing campaigns without the need to hire specialists. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Animoto does not require much experience, as we can create great videos with just a few simple steps. The options for preparing content and editing the video are very easy, and the inclusion of slides within the video to prepare and format presentations, including texts, images and diagrams is very easy, also we can easily add music to the presentation, which I greatly appreciate. In addition, Animoto provides a lot of ready-made templates, which we can handle easily, so that we can produce video and format texts as required. It is also good that the videos that are produced by Animoto can be easily shared and published on social media platforms. #### Cons Animoto is easy to use and almost flawless, and we can use it for free, and at an affordable price we can take advantage of all the tools. --- ### Look like a video pro - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Kathleen C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Higher Education - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I was up and running the very first time I tried the app. I created a great 30 sec video for our Facebook page which generated over 26K views. The video looked great, and was so easy to make. Animoto is a great resource for anyone who wants to make professional looking videos in flash! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The ease of creating high quality videos extremely fast without using complicated video editing software. Animoto provides a variety of templates that can easily be adapted. You can change fonts and basic color themes, and in the paid version, upload your logo to brand all your videos. I didn't have a lot of videos on hand, but I did have lots of still images. With Animoto, all I had to do was upload photos and place in suggested frames within a theme. I could move things around, sync with music and export the movie in a variety of formats. All very simple. #### Cons I don't have complete control! I can't make some minor adjustments. Example: text can be places in one of several "zones" within a frame. It's not possible to move the text a nudge! Although there are lots of templates, I wish there were more! Sometimes I need a hybrid type of video...in between "memories" and "marketing." #### Reasons for switching to Animoto The Adobe product was for more sophisticated, and therefore more complicated, than I needed. Although After Effects could give me absolute control over my videos, I realized I didn't need all that power for the short social media videos I wanted to create. --- ### We create custom videos that are more than a simple slideshow, and our clients love them - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Photography - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Using this to deliver slideshow videos to clients for a photo studio. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The templates are my favorite part of this software, by far. These include short clips of video, which make a slideshow that would otherwise be just a collection of photos set to music, a much more interactive piece of content that our clients love sharing on social media and with their friends. I love how easy it is to add photos, pace them, decide whether they'll be automatically ordered and paced or if I want specific timeframes, etc. I also think the music that comes with this is very nice and it almost always fits our galleries' themes. #### Cons Though the templates are the whole point (and, again, one of my favorite aspects of this solution) I would also like to be able to produce the regular kind of slideshow, which I now have to go to other software such as iMovie to make. I have found that adding a solid block of text is not as easy as it maybe could be, and I also have to do it separately. Other than that, no complaints! --- ### Animoto can do basics - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Automotive - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros It's very easy to use. Just plug in your pics and/or video. Sized already to fit social media #### Cons Not enough templates for the price. Price is too high for what's offered --- ### Disappointing due fundamental flaws - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Jayson P. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Design - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Disappointing experience since the product is not much use to me. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 2/5 #### Pros Overlay titles on a video. Add a music track (but now ability to add multiple tracks back-to-back if the video is too long). Seemingly simple to use. #### Cons Video sections with different titles must be in separate files. No way of just overlaying different titles at different points in the video. A serious flaw of this product.I have used this product on and off over a couple of years. There seems to have been very little in terms of new features added. The price is lower now compared to before which tells me that they are not developing the product much. --- ### Best slideshow maker in the industry! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Cadence M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Photography - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: October 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I've used animoto for many years to make surprise sneak preview videos for my clients from their photo sessions. Everyone loves them! It adds a nice touch to the overall client experience :) #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Great variety of fun designs, easily incorporate branding, fast and easy to create memorable videos for clients #### Cons If you make a lots of videos like I do, it's a great value for the cost. But if you only make videos occasionally or are just starting a business then it might be a little too expensive. --- ### Video Help for Novices - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Michelle O. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: October 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. We embed Animoto videos on our website, emails and social media channels. While the software is not iMovie, it meets most of our needs, especially when our designer isn't available. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros As a video novice I found Animoto to meet all my creative needs. The drag and drop editing, uploading and built-in templates and music library make creating video simple, fast and efficient. The built-in template add the professional look without a high end price. #### Cons Animoto transitions do not allow for different photos, videos to appear at different intervals. It's an all or nothing process. I would like if the software did allow for more freedom with the time that each photo/video appears. --- ### Great video editing software - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Hospitality - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Animoto makes video editing easy and accessible for those without a formal background. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros If you’ve ever used Canva for graphic design, consider Animoto the Canva for video editing. I love how easy Animoto makes it to create, edit and cut videos. We need to create video often for social media and Animoto helps us do so quickly without going through the process, time or cost of working with a video editor. #### Cons I do wish Animoto had a free version that allowed users to make videos without a watermark, similar to how Canva works. We would be willing to pay for add-ons like b-roll if there were a free version without watermarks. However the paid plans are very affordable so we just decided to upgrade. --- ### How to impress your community without any real editing knowledge: USE ANIMOTO. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Justin H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Environmental Services - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used other for more than 2 years - Reviewed: October 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall, I am so thankful that I discovered Animoto. I have impressed many people with our slideshows. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I love how easily it makes professional looking slideshows. A nice retreat from other clunky slideshow options. #### Cons Monthly subscription versus just buying a single video. --- ### Animoto is a easy to use online video editing tool for non techies! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Tonmoy T. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Printing - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: June 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Animoto is a very easy tool to edit your video. It's best for those who don't have any video editing experience. They have great collections of music in the library, templates, stock library, etc. It comes at a very cheap price, I really liked their pricing plan. I used it for creating videos for my company and it was a great experience. #### Cons I think they should add a few more features like animation, motion graphics, etc. --- ### Automatic, entertaining movie generator - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: October 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Animoto has been a go to software for me for many years. I have used it for small business advertising, my own college class projects, my daughter's pre-k class projects, invitations and show and tell videos. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The results the generator produces after you pick and choose your music, photos and animations. The site will provide a preview in the style you pick and if you are curious about other styles you can swap them before production. #### Cons That is it not totally free. The company provides a free trial but there is a watermark that overlays the video after production. --- ### Animoto Video Creator - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Patrick D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. It is a great place to start when you want to create short videos and introduce new ideas to your audience. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I like the ease of use with uploading videos and photos. The editing feature helps to make a nice finished project. #### Cons It limits the amount of time you are allowed to use for creating free projects. --- ### In love! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Terra G. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Some of the easiest video making software around. Use one of their templates or start from scratch and customize how you want. Yes, there are some limitations but I've done social media marketing videos, wedding videos, even a silly one about my dogs, and they all look professional. There are tons of music choices, fonts, colors, slide effects...it's just great all around and really easy to use. #### Cons As with most companies, you have to pay more for the good stuff like premium templates. The character max when you want to add text is very low. It resizes your pictures for you when you don't want it to. Little annoyances you end up having to find your way around but again, worth it. --- ### Animate in style - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Umang S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The most liked part of this application is that you can easily create animation for your social media post creation within a few touches​. #### Cons I mostly use this Animoto application a lot, so for me, I do feel the style limitation is reaching ​a low level for me to choose from. ## More reviews [Next reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/video-making/animoto-profile/reviews/?page=2) --- Animoto Reviews, Pros and Cons - 2026 Software Advice
