If you've found yourself unable to use a certain video in the way you wanted because the format wasn't supported, one of these converters can help. Every item listed below is freeware—no shareware or trialware here. We also haven't listed any video converters that trim or watermark videos. 6 Best Free Video Editing Software Programs for 2023 Here's a list of the best free video converter software and free online video converters available today: 01 of 27 Any Video Converter What We Like Supports a wide range of media formats. Add effects to videos before you convert them. Updates frequently with fixes and new features. Convert to audio or video formats. Also merges videos into one big file. What We Don't Like Begs you to upgrade when you convert files. Attempts to install other programs during setup. Some functions appear free until you try to use them. Any Video Converter is a really easy to use free video converter—just choose your source file and output format and go. If you need them, there are lots of advanced options too like batch conversion, file merging, and frame cropping. Input Formats: 3G2, 3GP, 3GPP, 3GP2, AMV, ASF, AVI, AVS, DAT, DIVX, DV, DVR-MS, F4V, FLV, M1V, M2P, M2T, M2TS, M2V, M4V, MKV, MOD, MOV, MP4, MPE, MPEG, MPEG2, MPEG4, MPG, MPV, MTS, MXF, NSV, OGG, OGM, OGV, QT, RM, RMVB, TOD, TRP, TP, TS, VOB, VRO, WMV, and WEBM Output Formats: AAC, AC3, AIFF, APE, ASF, AU, AVI, DTS, FLAC, FLV, GIF, M2TS, M4A, M4V, MKV, MOV, MP2, MP3, MP4, MPG, OGG, OGV, SWF, WAV, WEBM, WMA, and WMV This program can be used to convert nearly any file to a variety of high-definition output formats that run on Apple, Android, Windows, and other devices. If you don't know what video format to convert the file to so that it's usable on a specific device, the program handles that for you: just pick the device from a list. Some other things we like: built-in editor to add subtitles and adjust color, doubles as a video player for discs and ISO-formatted videos, lets you burn videos to a disc, and the editable program settings—they let you do things like convert multiple videos in bulk (up to 5), change default video/audio settings, and define a new default output folder for converted files. Any Video Converter supports more input video formats than any other video converter program we've used. While testing the program, it seemed to convert quickly, and without any troubles. The only thing we didn't like was the window that appeared after each video conversion, suggesting that you upgrade to enable more output formats. This software can be installed on Windows 11, 10, 8, and 7. It also runs on macOS 10.15 through 10.7. Download For: Windows Mac 02 of 27 MiniTool Video Converter What We Like Completely free with zero ads. Works with lots of file types. Convert more than one video at once. What We Don't Like A bit slower to install than similar programs. Relatively high system requirements. MiniTool has this free video converter that supports all the important video formats. is super easy to use, and is free from clutter. Input Formats: MP4, MOV, MKV, AVI, WMV, M4V, XVID, ASF, DV, MPEG, VOB, WEBM, OGV, DIVX, 3GP, MXF, TS, TRP, MPG, FLV, F4V, M2TS Output Formats: MP4, MOV, MKV, AVI, WMV, M4V, XVID, ASF, DV, MPEG, VOB, WEBM, OGV, DIVX, 3GP, MXF, TS, TRP, MPG, FLV, F4V, SWF, M2TS There's a folder option so you can import several videos at once if you need to do that. A timer is at the bottom of the program that lets you choose what should happen when the conversions are finished, like exit the program or shut down the whole computer. Some other things we like are the per-video conversion settings so that you can have each video save to a different format even though you're converting them in bulk, the Device option when choosing a format so that you don't have to know what file type the device supports, the setting that can auto-delete the source file after the conversion, and the ability to work with audio formats too. Windows 10, 8, and 7 are supported. Download MiniTool Video Converter The same company has the program MovieMaker that supports conversions as well, including video editing functions. 03 of 27 Icecream Video Converter What We Like Convert in bulk or one by one. Supports subtitles. Displays zero ads. Lets you overlay a watermark. Can trim the video. Snappy performance and smooth interface. What We Don't Like Can't merge videos. Some parts of the app appear broken. This video converter from Icecream Apps is relatively new, but it's very easy to use, is free from annoying "upgrade" ads, and works with all the typical video formats. Input Formats: MP4, MOV, AVI, WEBM, MKV, MPEG, MPG, M2TS, WMV, FLV, F4V, M4V, OGV, TS, MTS, and VOB Output Formats: MP4, MOV, AVI, WEBM, MKV, MPEG, and MP3 You can convert in bulk and pick different settings for each video. It also lets you trim videos, pick a new name for the newly formatted video, import your own SRT file for subtitles, include an image or text watermark, convert with or without audio, change the video's resolution, and automatically close the program or shut down the PC after the conversions are finished. As great as this app is, there are some small issues we've noticed. For example, neither the history tab that's supposed to show recently formatted files, nor the list of recently used format options, show anything. Also, their website claims that you can choose format options based on the device you want the video to play on, but that wasn't true during our tests. You can use this free video converter in Windows 11, 10, 8 and 7. Download Icecream Video Converter 04 of 27 Hamster Free Video Converter What We Like Pick the target device or format. No ads. Can merge videos. What We Don't Like Program window feels restrictive. Hamstersoft has this free video converter for Windows that's helpful for a few clear reasons: you can pick the target device instead of the format (in case you're not sure what it is), the frame size can be adjusted before conversion, and you can convert with or without audio. Input Formats: 3GP, AVI, F4V, FLV, M4V, MKV, MOV, MP4, MPG, MTS, WMV, and others Output Formats: 3GP, MP3, MP4, AVI, MPG, WMV, MPEG, FLV, HD, DVD, M2TS, and others You're taken through a step-by-step wizard to complete the conversion, during which you choose the video files you're converting or merging, the format the file should end up in, and the video quality and audio bit rate. We tested this program on Windows 10, but it's also said to work on Windows 8 and 7. Download Hamster Free Video Converter 05 of 27 Avidemux What We Like Well designed interface. Delete sections of video before conversion. What We Don't Like Comes with a learning curve. Avidemux is a free video editor with many advanced and thorough features, one of which is video converting. Load a video from the File menu to import it into the program. All the advanced features like buffer size, interlacing, and threading can be found in the menu items. Input Formats: 3GP, ASF, AVI, FLV, MKV, MOV, MP4, MPG, MPEG, QT, NUV, OGM, TS, VOB, WEBM, WMV Export Formats: AVI, FLV, M1V, M2V, MP4, MPG, MPEG, OGM, and TS The only thing we don't like about Avidemux is that it can be a bit confusing to convert videos. The following operating systems should have no problem running Avidemux: Windows (11, 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP), Linux, and macOS. Download Avidemux 06 of 27 EncodeHD EncodeHD. What We Like Automatically splits long videos into chunks. Runs from portable locations, such as flash drives. What We Don't Like Cannot edit or splice videos. File conversion cannot be paused, only canceled. EncodeHD is a portable video converter program that makes it easy to convert your files to formats readable by various mobile devices and gaming systems. Open video files into the program and select a device you want the converted file to be playable on.

Input Formats: ASF, AVI, DIVX, DVR-MS, FLV, M2V, MKV, MOV, MP4, MPG, MPEG, MTS, M2T, M2TS, OGM, OGG, RM, RMVB, TS, VOB, WMV, WTV, and XVID Output Devices: Apple TV/iPhone/iPod, Google Nexus 4/7, Microsoft Xbox 360/Zune, Nokia E71/Lumia 920, Samsung Galaxy S2/S3, Sony PlayStation 3/PSP, T-Mobile G1, Western Digital TV, and YouTube HD While this program can convert videos to a format supported by many popular devices, there aren't any editing features you can use beforehand. We tested EncodeHD in Windows 10 without any issues, so it should also work in Windows 11, 8, 7, Vista, and XP. Download EncodeHD 07 of 27 Clone2Go Free Video Converter Clone2Go Corporation What We Like Produces small media files. Maintains video quality. What We Don't Like Unreliable technical support. Slower than similar programs. Clone2Go Free Video Converter has a really nice interface and is rather quick at converting video files. Input Formats: 3GP, AMV, ASF, AVI, AVS, DAT, DV, DVR-MS, FLV, M1V, M2V, M4V, MKV, MOV, MP4, MPG, MS-DVR, QT, RM, RMVB, VOB, and WMV Output Formats: AVI, FLV, MPG, MPEG1, and MPEG2 While the program looks good and operates well, a popup is displayed after every conversion asking you if you want to install the Professional version. You must exit this screen every time to continue using the free version. Whether you're running Windows 11, 10, 8, 7, Vista, or XP, you can install and use Clone2Go Free Video Converter. Download Clone2Go Free Video Converter 08 of 27 DivX Converter What We Like Add files from local drives or Blu-ray discs. What We Don't Like Persistent requests to upgrade. Long install and displays offers during setup. DivX Converter is a free video converter program that can convert videos to 4K resolution, which is a very high video resolution suitable for ultra-high-definition screens. Input Formats: 264, 265, 3G2, 3GP, ASF, AVC, AVI, AVS, DIVX, F4V, H264, H265, HEVC, M4V, MKV, MOV, MP4, RM, RMVB, WMV Output Formats: AVI, DIVX, MKV, MP4 MPEG2 formats such as MPG, SVCD, TS, and VOB will also work with DivX Converter, but only for the first 15 days of the install. To use it to create videos up to 4K, you must select the option called Enable DivX HEVC Plug-in during setup. Before the installer is finished, DivX Converter tries to install one or more other programs. If you wish to avoid this, you must deselect the options before continuing. If you buy DivX Pro, you'll get Cloud Connect, which lets you access videos directly from Google Drive and Dropbox. macOS and Windows are supported. Download DivX Converter 09 of 27 iWisoft Free Video Converter iWisoft Corporation What We Like Create user profiles to define custom presets. Reliable progress bar.

It's said to work with Windows 7, Vista, XP, and 2000 only. Download iWisoft Free Video Converter 10 of 27 FFCoder What We Like Nice selection of presets. Advanced editing and configuration.

Visit Online Video Converter 12 of 27 MediaCoder What We Like Flawless audio conversion and subtitle syncing. Perfect for media file conversion novices. What We Don't Like Free version is very ad-heavy. Occasional errors during conversion. MediaCoder makes converting video files really easy through its step-by-step Config Wizard.

Download Format Factory 14 of 27 Windows Live Movie Maker Microsoft Corporation What We Like Add voice-overs and other audio. Wide variety of transition effects. What We Don't Like Can't adjust contrast, saturation, and other effects. Cumbersome to edit and splice videos. It's discontinued. Movie Maker is part of the Windows Live software suite and can convert videos to different formats that can then be played on various phones and devices. Load video files into Movie Maker, add animations or visual effects, and then save the video as a different file type from the File menu. Input Formats: 3G2, 3GP, ASF, AVI, DVR-MS, K3G, M1V, M2T, M2TS, M4V, MOD, MOV, MP4, MPEG, MPG, MPV2, MTS, QT, VOB, VM, WMV, and WTV Output Devices/Formats: Android, Apple iPad/iPhone, Facebook, Flickr, MP4, SkyDrive, Vimeo, YouTube, Windows Phone, WMV, and Zune HD During setup, you must select Choose the programs you want to install and then Photo Gallery and Movie Maker to avoid getting the other programs that are part of the suite. Windows Live Movie Maker can be installed on Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008. It's included by default in Vista and XP (SP2 and SP3). Download Windows Live Movie Maker 15 of 27 Free Audio Video Pack What We Like No annoying ads. Lightweight and easy to uninstall. What We Don't Like Won't convert files that your device cannot play. Output quality isn't perfect. Free Audio Video Pack (previously Pazera Video Converters Suite) consists of many different portable video converters combined into one complete suite. The main program window asks which file format you’d like to convert to and from. The suite will then launch the appropriate program to convert the file you specified, which makes converting rather easy. Input Formats: 3GP, AVI, FLV, M4V, MOV, MP4, MPEG, OGV, WEBM, and WMV Output Formats: 3GP, AVI, FLV, M4V, MOV, MP4, MPEG, OGV, WEBM, and WMV The download is in the form of a 7Z file, which means you'll need a free program like 7-Zip to open it. Something we don't like about Free Audio Video Pack is that you must know the format of the source video file before converting it, which is an extra step than most other video converter programs. Free Audio Video Pack can be installed to Windows 11, 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP, and Windows Server 2008 and 2003. Download Free Audio Video Pack 16 of 27 Miro Video Converter What We Like Intuitive drag-and-drop interface. Dozens of presets to choose from. What We Don't Like Can't adjust video configuration manually. Can't convert multiple files at once. Miro is known for their open-source media player, but they also make a free video converter. Miro Video Converter has a simplified interface. Just drag and drop videos into the program and choose what device or format you want to export the video as. Input Formats: AVI, FLV, H264, MKV, MOV, Theora, WMV, and XVID Output Formats: Ogg, MP3, MP4, Theora, and Webm Setup tries to install additional programs you may or may not want. Avoid this by choosing the Decline button during install. This program works on macOS, Linux, and all versions of Windows. Download Miro Video Converter 17 of 27 Oxelon Media Converter What We Like Encode audio and video separately. Customizable interface. What We Don't Like No documentation. Doesn't support modern versions of Windows. Oxelon Media Converter is really easy to use. Either load up a file from the program window or right-click any video file on your computer and choose to convert it from the right-click context menu. There are some basic settings in this program, like changing the width and height or frame rate of the video. Input Formats: 3G2, 3GP, ASF, AVI, DV, DVD, FFM, FLV, GIF, M1V, M2V, M4V, MOV, MP4, MPEG1, MPEG2, PSP, RM, SVCD, VCD, and VOB Output Formats: 3G2, 3GP, ASF, AVI, DV, DVD, FFM, FLV, GIF, M1V, M2V, M4V, MOV, MP4, MPEG1, MPEG2, PSP, RM, SVCD, VCD, and VOB One thing we didn’t like about this program is that the developer’s website opens every time you exit Oxelon Media Converter. However, you can easily disable this from the settings. The developer says this software is for people who are still running older versions of Windows, so officially, it works with Windows 98 up to Vista only. However, we were able to use it in Windows 10 without running in to any issues. Download Oxelon Media Converter 18 of 27 Free Video Converter (Extensoft) What We Like 100 percent free with no ads. Comes with its own video codec in case you don't have one. What We Don't Like Minimal documentation. Batch conversions are needlessly complicated. Free Video Converter by Extensoft is really easy to use. The navigation buttons are clearly visible and simple to understand. Input Formats: AVI, FLV, MOV, MP4, MPEG, MPG, MTS, QT, RM, RMVB, and WMV (Extensoft’s website says "and others recognized by your computer—Direct Show") Output Formats: AVI, MP4, MPEG1, MPEG2, QuickTime, and WMV One thing we didn’t like about this program is that it was a little strenuous to scroll through the different conversion formats to find the one we wanted. Extensoft Free Video Converter should work with all versions of Windows. Download Free Video Converter by Extensoft 19 of 27 Internet Video Converter What We Like Multilingual support. Easy to convert videos from YouTube. What We Don't Like No batch conversions. Can't adjust aspect ratio. Internet Video Converter (IVC) is a free video converter that supports most major formats. The program looks confusing at first, but it’s rather easy to use if you follow the steps. First select a video, choose the format to save it as, and then click Apply Format before converting the file. Input Formats: 3GP, ASF, AVI, DAT, DIVX, DPG, FLV, MKV, MOD, MP4, MPEG, MPG, MTS, OGG, OGM, QT, RAM, RM, RMVB, VOB and WMV Output Formats: 3GP, AVI, MOV, MP4, MPG, and WMV To download this program, open the link below and scroll to IVC Standard. The official list of compatible operating systems is Windows 10, 8, 7, and XP. Download Internet Video Converter 20 of 27 Quick AVI Creator What We Like Relatively light on system resources. Completely free with no ads. What We Don't Like No drag-and-drop or batch conversion support. No help file included. Doesn't work with newer Windows versions. Quick AVI Creator is a video converter that supports a few major conversion formats. Load a file, select where to save it, and then choose an output format. There aren’t many options, but you can select particular subtitle or audio tracks to use when converting. Input Formats: ASF, AVI, DIVX, DVD, FLV, F4V, MKV, MP4, MPEG, and WMV Output Formats: AVI, MKV, and MP4 While Quick AVI Creator doesn’t export videos to a massive list of file types, it fortunately does support the three major ones. All Windows versions above Windows 2000 are said to be supported, but it's recommended to use Windows 7. We tried the latest version in Windows 10, and we were unable to get it to work correctly. Download Quick AVI Creator 21 of 27 Kiss DejaVu Enc What We Like Upload converted videos to YouTube. Donation driven, no ads. What We Don't Like Sparse instructions and documentation. The last update was in 2010. Kiss DejaVu Enc is a video converter that’s one of the easier ones to operate. Although the first screen may seem confusing, all the necessary settings are out front and not hard to find. Input Formats: AVI, AVS, CDA, FLV, MP4, MPG, TS, and VOB Output Formats: FLV, MP4, MPG, and SVI One thing we didn’t like about this program is you must open the folder where the video file is at instead of open the actual file. This can be a little confusing, but easily acceptable when you start using it more. It's said to work with Windows 7, Vista, XP, and 2000. We tested it in Windows 10 without any issues. Download Kiss DejaVu Enc 22 of 27 MPEG Streamclip What We Like Fixes bad timecodes and similar file errors. Add your own watermarks. What We Don't Like Can't easily edit audio and video separately. Requires QuickTime. MPEG Streamclip looks to be a simple program until you see all the complex options hidden away in the file menu. Just load a video into the program from the File menu and then save it as a common format or export it to another supported format also from the File menu. You can rotate or crop a video before saving. Input Formats: AC3, AIFF, AUD, AVI, AVR, DAT, DV, M1A, M1V, M2P, M2T, M2V, MMV, MOD, MP2, MP4, MPA, MPEG, MPV, PS, PVR, REC, TP0, TS, VDR, VID, VOB, and VRO Output Formats: AVI, DV, MPEG4, and QT Instead of converting a video file found on your computer, you can also load one from a URL or DVD. This converter is completely portable (no need to install it), but does require that QuickTime be installed. It officially works with Windows 7, Vista, XP, and 2000. We tested the most recent version in Windows 10, and it worked fine, just as we'd expect it to. Download MPEG Streamclip 23 of 27 HandBrake What We Like Minimal quality loss when converting to a lower bitrate. Impressive closed caption support. What We Don't Like Not ideal for beginners. Requires extra software to rip DVDs. HandBrake is an incredibly easy to use free video converter that's most useful for converting pretty much any video file you might have into one that'll work with your mobile device. Input Formats: AVI, FLV, H264, OGM, M4V, MP4, MOV, MPG, WMV, VOB (DVD), WMV, and XVID (HandBrake's website says "Most any multimedia file") Output Formats: MP4 and MKV We love that it can input so many file types, but it's unfortunate it supports only two output formats. However, the two it does support are popular ones. You can use it in Windows 11/10, Linux, and macOS 10.13 and later. Download HandBrake 24 of 27 WinFF Matthew Weatherford What We Like Set advanced command-line parameters for video editing. Import and edit presets from elsewhere. Includes a portable version. What We Don't Like No built-in presets for video and audio configuration. Batch conversions not possible. No longer receives updates. WinFF is a video converter program that supports popular formats and features like editing and cropping. First select an output device or file format and then click Add to import a video file. Crop or rotate the video, among other options, and then click Convert to finish. Input Format: AVI, MKV, MOV, MPEG, OGG, VOB, and WEBM Output Format/Devices: AVI, Creative Zen, DV, DVD, Google/Android, Apple iPod, LG, MPEG4, Nokia, Palm, PlayStation 3/PSP, QT, VCD, Walkman, and WMV We tested this program in Windows 10 and Windows 8, and it worked as advertised. It should work with other versions of Windows, too, as well as Linux. Download WinFF 25 of 27 Quick Media Converter What We Like Helpful online forum with video tutorials. Easy to capture still images from videos. What We Don't Like Limited configuration settings. Requires FFmpeg to work properly. Quick Media Converter supports many file formats, and the program makes it simple to know which ones work on different devices. The program is a bit difficult to navigate because you must hover your mouse over the different menu buttons to know what they are for. However, the vast file types that are allowed make up for this faulty design. Input Formats: 3G2, 3GP, AVI, DTS, DV, DLV, GXF, M4A, MJ2, MJPEG, MKV, MOV, MP4, MPEG1, MPEG2, MPEG4, MVE, OGG, QT, RM and others. Output Formats: 3G2, 3GP, AVI, DV, FLV, GXF, MJPEG, MOV, MP4, MPEG1, MPEG2, MPEG4, RM, VOB and others. During setup, it tries to install a toolbar and change your default Internet home page. If you don’t want these extra changes, click Skip All to bypass all of them. The program works on 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows operating systems up to and including Windows 11, 10, and 8. Download Quick Media Converter 26 of 27 Zamzar Zamzar What We Like Less limited than other online converters. Can convert videos by URL, too. Also lets you convert the video to audio only. What We Don't Like Conversion speed depends on site traffic. File must be under 50 MB. Our Review of Zamzar Zamzar is an online video converter service that supports most common video formats. Input Formats: 3G2, 3GP, 3GPP, ASF, AVI, F4V, FLV, GVI, M4V, MKV, MOD, MOV, MP4, MPG, MTS, RM, RMVB, TS, VOB, and WMV Output Formats: 3G2, 3GP, AVI, FLV, MP4, MOV, MP4, MPG, and WMV The worst things about it: the 2-per-day conversion limit and the 50 MB limit set for source files, which is a significant drawback considering the large size of most video files. We also found conversion times to be a bit slow, even for an online video converter service. Because it works online, this converter can be used with any OS that runs a web browser. Visit Zamzar 27 of 27 FileZigZag What We Like No installation required. Really easy to use. Supports lots of file formats. What We Don't Like Videos can't be larger than 150 MB.
