What do you like best about Freemake?

Freemake is a free tool having many things to like. It supports multiple formats like MP4, MKV, AVI etc., allowing seamless conversions between them. It has support for basic video editing options like cropping, trimming, adding subtitles etc. It also has the option to download videos from popular platforms like youtube facebook etc. It is a good package for someone who has to do light video editing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freemake?

Some things that I dont like about freemake: it's revenue is generated through ads, which can be irritating at times. Also, advance features are lacking, with occassional crasher and performance issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Freemake solving and how is that benefiting you?

I usually need to casually edit videos, and using a full fledged video editor for this purpose was an overkill and with more features, editors becomes complicated to use and handle. So, it has been very beneficial for me. It has user friendly UI and less features, making it perfect for my use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Freemake?

The software is easy to install on your desktop and gives you the basic tools you need to convert video files to different formats and do basic edits. Its simple enough that little leaning is required. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freemake?

Anything beyond the basic editing tools is not in Freemake's repertoire. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Freemake solving and how is that benefiting you?

I needed to convert some AVIs to the MP4 format to fit on my kindle and I wanted to adjust the quality to minimize the size of the video files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Freemake?

It's easy to use. It also offers a wide range of file formats to convert. It also is flexible enough to handle video and audio files with many different output codecs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freemake?

It offers some editing capabilities but it would be great if those were expanded. That would help in instances where I don't need to edit a full, new video but rather just need an extended clip. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Freemake solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sometimes I'm given video files that don't work natively with our editing software. Freemake makes it very easy to convert the original source into a video file that works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Freemake?

It comes with easy to use software and its user friendly.

The multipurpose usability of this product is great.

It can be used for Doawloading/Converting/Editing, which is great. As other apps/software does not provide all these in one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freemake?

The need to install/use different versions of the apps for different usage such as downloading, editing, converting is not very convenient. If we can use as all in one app, that would be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Freemake solving and how is that benefiting you?

The basic need for editing and downloading videos. If you are just looking for basic needs, than this app is more than enough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Freemake?

Relatively easy to use, very buggy. Keeps crashing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freemake?

Not enough features, thumbnails for slide show tiny, only one track per slideshow available, keeps crashing. The rendering resolution is really crappy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Freemake:

Make sure you understand that there is nothing free about freemake. After purchasing 1 week license I was charged for full license, plus they were going to charge my PayPal account every 3 years. I had to post a complaint with PayPal ti stop them from charging me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Freemake solving and how is that benefiting you?

Tried to make a slideshow but couldn't since it only allowed to use one music track. Resolution is crappy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Freemake?

The customization of your video clip duration and even the codec settings is covered totally under this product. The best part is the file size compression or file size control functionality which was really unique and comes really handy for fast renders and quick previews. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freemake?

In the previous version, there were some issues regarding the audio video sync if we would change the audio settings or the codec maybe. However, surprisingly this problem hasn't occured since the last update I guess. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Freemake:

It is inexpensive, that is the biggest deal maker. I personally have consistently used it and can definitely say it is quite compatible to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Freemake solving and how is that benefiting you?

All kinds of preview conversions for client approval before final render are being converted using freemake's product by me. The consistency in the performance since last 5+ years is something I loved to stick to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freemake?

CRASHES AND NO REFUND (within 24h of purchase).

Crashes when I convert a 3Gig 1920 x 1080 video file to a lower resolution (regardless of video format). This is occurs on 2 of my computers incl a 1 year old Lenovo Core i7 with 16G..

I asked for a refund (a measly $5), and they want me to correspond with them trying to debug why this is happening.. SORRY my time preoccupied with YOUR DEBUG is worth MUCH MORE than the $5 purchase fee.. So don't waste my time, and give me my refund.. But they are now bringing up Terms that say I have to partake in debugs before a refund.. GIMME A BREAK, it's only $5, not worth my time or your negative publicity.. (and here we are)

Stop trying to use your customers as a debug team, esp when they don't want to solve the problem (for you), but would rather get on with their working day (which is what the software was bought for).. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Freemake:

Freemake Customer Service presumes the customer is "out to get them".. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Freemake solving and how is that benefiting you?

None. The software crashes for what I needed it for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
