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. --- ### Video Must - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Marco E. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Banking - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: August 2024 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. 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. --- ### Autorenewal with no warning or refund. - Overall rating: 2/5 - Reviewer: Warren H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Arts and Crafts - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Terrible. Ripped off for a renewal when i haven’t even logged in for ove 10 months. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 2/5 #### Pros It is fairly easy to use, and has some music track options #### Cons They autorenew your account with no warning and will not refund. The cost of a subscription is far more than the value of the product. There are free video editors that vastly exceed the features of this rudimentary interface. #### Vendor response Hey Warren, Thanks for sharing your experience. Our team would be happy to take a look into this for you. You can send a message to help@animoto.com with your account details and we'll be able to check into next steps from there! Replied September 2025 --- ### 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. --- ### 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. --- ### 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 --- ### 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 --- ### Drag and drop video compiler - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Esther G. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Photography - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used other for more than 2 years - 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. I like it because they provide the templates, but for a business tool, I think it's way too expensive for such limited editing and no scrubbing capabilities. I spend hours just previewing because there's no scrub feature. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I love how easy it is to import photos and videos and create a basic slide show #### Cons 1) The price is higher than some other editors out there. 2) getting the music timing right is a guessing game bc they don't have a scrub feature 3) previews take a LONG time to load, and you can't scrub, so if you need to test something at the end, you have to watch the entire video to get there every time.... this takes a VERY long time to do. --- ### 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. --- ### Multi-feature video creation platform - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Nirav S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Automotive - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Animoto does not have a complex editor like other platforms and thus video creation becomes seamless. It has unique features that are not available on other platforms. For example: 1. You can add your own fonts. 2. Easily share videos created on social media #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros 1. You can easily add a watermark to the videos 2. It has an option to add intuitive backgrounds and animations 3. You can easily add any filters to enhance the video 4. You can easily undo or redo changes to a video 5. It has Getty image library integration #### Cons It is relatively expensive as compared to other tools. #### Reasons for switching to Animoto Templates are much better on Animoto. --- ### Produces great slideshows and videos - overpriced - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Sports - 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. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Easy to drop in video clips and photos to make really cool promo videos! We've used this for years - but only because they give us a discount on the pricing. We do love the software and the quality of videos produced. Can use their library of music or import your own. Best part is that they automatically sync to the rhythm and speed of your music so your photo transitions attractively flow with the background. #### Cons It's overpriced. They used to do a non-profit pricing package at discount, now we have to apply for that every year.....with more competition in the market, I don't know if we will continue to be willing to pay this or not to be honest. --- ### Quickly create cool marketing videos - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Sorin A. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: May 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 marketing videos over the years. The render time is fast, the templates are ok and the interface is probably the best I've ever used. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I enjoyed the clean and easy to understand interface. Without it, I would've abanded it a long time ago. The timeline feels snappy. The elements don't get in your way. And each template video is split into sections, which makes it easy to only edit what you need. #### Cons The templates are probably the weakest part of the tool. While it shows that they put in the effort, the overall result is beneath Canva templates, for example. Some work well, others are way too generic to be used as is. And it would take a long time to change most of it to make it usable. --- ### Take care with the auto-renewal! - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Bruce H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Photography - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: June 2024 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered The option to turn off auto-renewal is hidden away. You may struggle to get a refund after the auto renewal has gone through. So be careful. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros It works for what it is designed for. I used it a couple of times in 12 months to put together slideshow previews of photoshoots for clients. You can add music and it's not difficult to use. They have lots of YouTube videos on how to use it. #### Cons The option to turn off auto-renewal is hidden away. Initially, they refused to give a refund after my auto-renewal had gone through. However, I wrote another polite email pointing out that the option to turn this off was not easy to find. They gave me 50% of my new one year subscription back. Not great, but better than nothing and lesson learned about auto-renewals. Interestingly, there is a Government review going on in the UK about subscription auto-renewals and it will (hopefully!) result in companies having to give you notice before a subscription auto-renews --- ### Quick and Easy Videos in a Flash! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jacob H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Building Materials - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used daily 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. Animoto has been a great resource for making quick videos to help you get more engagement on social media posts, web traffic and much more. I am thankful for the ease of use for Animoto and look forward to using it in the future! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros The ability to compile videos with premade templates allows making videos to be a breeze. Have a video you make often? Copy the template and update the photos. A wide variety of music and sharing options are available as well. #### Cons There's minimal flexibility when it comes to scaling photos, but you can use many different sized templates to fit your needs. --- ### Animated slideshows that feel like music videos - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Higher Education - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used other for more than 2 years - Reviewed: February 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 I first saw an Animoto at a friend's wedding over 10 years ago. It was pretty amazing. I turned into a fan and made a few 30 second trailers out of photos for friends of mine who ran small businesses locally. It was easy to make and the templates and music choices were pretty awesome. #### Cons I didn't like that the free version came out so grainy and lo-resolution, but I get it. How else are you going to pay for a product like Animoto? Premium subscriptions! --- ### Animoto Review - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used other for more than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Great software recommended for anyone wanting to make animated videos with ease. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Animoto is an EASY to use video maker software. Anyone can use it right out of the box to make great sliding presentations or other types of videos. #### Cons Subscription based, and without paying you will have the watermark from them in your videos. Would be great if they lowered the cost as there are other options out there as well, and some have a set price. --- ### Easy video creation tool for nonprofits and small companies - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Elizabeth W. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Civic & Social Organization - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Very good. It has made our social media and fundraising strategies much more strategic, engaging and successful. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Super easy to create professional polished videos for social media, marketing, advertising, fundraising, events and more. The drag and drop interface is easy for anyone to use. #### Cons I'm disappointed that they made the video clip library only available under the Pro+ plan when it used to be available under the Pro plan. I also wish the new "branding" option didn't put your logo in the corner throughout your video, or that that option was editable. --- ### 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
