It is very simple and easy to use. You have many options and settings that you may not know, but as a "novice" user you can do the job without problems. #### Cons The free version is not so good due to all the limitations, and even paying you will find some things you may not do.

Freemake Video Converter has been up to date with any feature addition, like trimming video or cropping it as well. Also, it has been my consistent Video Converter for last 5 years in the field of media production. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The feature of reducing file size manually up to certain limit is a life saver for me. Whenever I have a restriction of file size due to any reason and still have to present a HD video to client, this feature is really handy and really appropriate. #### Cons Sometimes the audio video sync problem occurred after the conversion a while back but that might have been some audio codec issue as well or Freemake might have solved this in their recent update as well. --- ### Best video converter - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less 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. converts video to other formats #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Freemake video converter is a video converter app. it converts video to various formats like Mp3, AVI, Android, Iphone , DVD , Mp3 and others . it is a free software. we can download videos from youtube and modify them to MP3, AVI. we can also burn dvd using this software. it also supports trimmimg , joinning and rotation of clips #### Cons there is nothing i dislike with freenake video converter --- ### Awesome video converter! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Reyanne T. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Writing and Editing - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for less 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. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros This software does exactly what it says it will do! It converts videos easily and they have many different video codecs to choose from so that all of your needs are met! It also has many other features and capabilities that are useful to any video editor. #### Cons This software is practical for any person to use. However, the speed of conversion could be better because it is rather slow. --- ### Fair but disingenuous video conversion software - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Thomas M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Entertainment - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used other for free trial - 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. When I used it a lot a few years ago, this software was actually free. It's still advertised as completely free, but you'll quickly find there's not much you can do in the program without paying. Then they have the gall to offer a $40/month subscription. You can actually buy a lifetime licence for the program for $60, so the fact they even offer that subscription option is very unfriendly. And this is the kind of software where if you open the payment screen, then close it, it usually offers you a big discount. Essentially this is fine software, and I would say worth $30-$60, but these money-making tactics are extremely nasty. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros It has many format options, and allows you to perform pretty much every video conversion function that you'll ever want as a casual user. #### Cons The false advertising (it is not actually free). The user interface is a little dated at this point. --- ### Great for Converting Videos and Music - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Victoria H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Writing and Editing - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 6 months - 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 like the fact that the software is free, and I find Freemake really easy to use. I mainly use it for converting music, although I've tried it with video too and it works. The quality of the finished result is very good. With video you can change to and from AVI, Apple, WMV and more, and you can also upload directly to YouTube. You can burn on to DVDs too. Videos can be trimmed and you can do things like removing black bars on either side and you can edit your videos before converting them. It is handy having that feature in the same software. #### Cons You have to wait for three days for some of the features (like uploading to YouTube) to be available. --- ### Easiest way to convert your video files - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Ryan M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Insurance - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: April 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Easily convert your video files for free! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros This software is pretty easy to use once you figure it out. There seems to be plenty of features that anyone can use. #### Cons It takes a little bit to get comfortable with the software but once you understand how to use it, it's great! --- ### User-friendly interface and easy to use - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: nchewi e. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Writing and Editing - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used other for less than 12 months - Reviewed: July 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: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Freemake Video Converter is very simple to use, no learning curve whatsoever. It comes really handy for converting both video and audio files from one format to another, and can also be used to compress them as well. #### Cons Nothing to complain about. It lives up to its promise. --- ### Awesome video converter - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Suzyo N. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. it has helped me/us to convert most of the videos taken from the camera so that they can be displayed on different types of devices #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros converts my videos to multiple formats without any hustle #### Cons takes time and crashes in some rare cases on my system --- ### Simple and Easy interface - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jason N. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Entertainment - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used other for free trial - Reviewed: April 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall, if you want something that you pay for to convert video this is a decent option. Def not for a power user. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The best thing about this software is the super basic and simple interface. It allows you to do rudimentary editing before converting a video. #### Cons Power users may find it lacking in the features department. It's nice and simple but not exactly what I would consider detailed with tons of extra options. --- ### A good free video converter - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Goran S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Leisure, Travel & Tourism - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered We have a client that can only play a certain format on their media player they use to review the commissioned videos and Freemake is how we do it. It is very easy to use it and we always use the same setting for that conversion so it is very streamlined. I can happily recommend Freemake Video Converter to anyone who needs to convert video formats. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Freemake is great when you need to quickly change format of your product. It is quick and easy to use and has all the right features, including the ability to hardcode subtitles, which I always found very useful. #### Cons I had issues with Freemake sometimes crashing in the conversion process on certain filetypes. While it was inconvenient, it was nothing that would happen often. I also think that the latest updates dealt with that as I haven't had that issue for a while. #### Reasons for switching to Freemake Video Converter Freemake has more features that the free version of Any Video. --- ### SUBSCRIPTION NOT AUTHORIZED - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Patti G. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Religious Institutions - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: March 2020 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered None. It is the software package I used to make my DVD's but will not continue using it if I have to pay $59.95 a month for the privilege. I am volunteering my services to my church and certainly do not want to incur a monthly expense to provide a free service. I want a refund of the $59.95 taken from my PayPal account without authorization. I did not know I was using a free trial. I thought the software was totally free to download and use and the features such as the Gold Pack needed to be purchased. If I had known I was signing up for an exorbitant monthly subscription, I would have deleted the program immediately. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros I liked the features and used them to make videos for my church's Sunday morning services. Then I made a video and needed to have the black bars removed as it was filmed on my phone in portrait rather than landscape mode. The black bar removal did not work after I purchased it. I had to purchase another software package that would actually change the orientation of the video and the aspect ratio which Freemake would not let me do. #### Cons I purchased a feature (Gold Pack $29.95) thinking it would help me change the orientation of my iPhone video. It did not but I was frantic to get the video made so took a chance that Freemake's feature would help with that. It did not as it would not let me change the aspect ratio of the video from portrait to landscape. --- ### Review from my experience - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: JUAN MARTIN G. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Legal Services - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.
