I stopped over to review Handbrake because I know it's a great tool.

I've used a lot of video conversion tools l in the past and even though they're good at what they do, however, Handbrake stands out from the rest.

In my experience, almost all the video converting tools that I've tried out tend to either reduce the pixel quality of my videos or even increase their sizes. Handbrake works contrarily to them all.

-A little testimonial*

It's a tool that has really amazed me and when I told my friends that I'm using software that can potentially reduce video sizes (weight) but will not affect the quality (pixels) - they never believed me.

Here is what happened...

A friend of mine who is a gospel singer and who runs a YouTube channel brought his new clip ( I think it weighed around 1+ GB) in file size and he told me to upload it to his channel.

I suggested we should compress the file considering the fact that we regularly experience network issues and uploading it might not be easy, but he kept insisting that I should upload it in its original file size.

Well, I agreed but when he left, I uploaded the video to Handbrake, and did all the necessary output configurations for YouTube and after conversion, I uploaded the video.

A few days later, he came to my place and I teased him and asked him, "What are the impressions you have regarding the quality of the video we just published on your channel ?" he responded "It's fine, very original"

Wow! I said, "Great".

When I finally told him I'd converted that video he didn't believe me. So I went to my PC and opened up the two files (Original and converted) and the result was amazing - the file size dropped from 1+GB to 200MB yet, the video qualities were the same (original vs converted).

handbrake is the only tool that has ever achieved this result as per my experience. It's easy to use and has a friendly user interface. I highly recommend it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While converted videos work perfectly on mobile screens, however, there is no mobile version of the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the vast array of presets and options. I can create my own templates with ease, and choose various scaling options, as well as deinterlacing as well. It's very easy to use and doesn't leave a big footprint on my computer. I use it a lot in my video work, to create H264 files, so the clients don't have to use ProRes files when posting their videos online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there was a dark mode option. The bright theme is very hard on my eyes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can set my own preset to convert a video, if the default presets are not helpful. Can convert multiple files at a time! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, I dont find anything to dislike yet about this software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

helps me convert video files to a compatible format Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

inability to drag & drop to populate a queue which slows my workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Handbrake a lot for editing my youtube videos, and I am impressed by the quick, easy, user-friendly solution this tool has provided me so far. It is free to use and allows to queue multiple videos for conversion simultaneously. So it saves my time while one batch is getting processed. I can queue the others and focus on my other tasks in the day instead of just waiting for videos to get processed one at a time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Handbrake should have more advanced video editing features to help video editors complete all their editing tasks in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. The compressive quality

2. Variety of formats while converting

3. Easiest converting and resizing video tool

4. It is absolutely free

5. Takes less time for conversion compare to other tools

6. Batching of videos Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

All is well with Handbrake. A little bit of improvement can be done on the UI end, but that still can be ignored. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI is super simple and allows me to compress and convert multiple videos one after the other. The tool is absolutely free, low in size and works seamlessly on multiple operating systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not a lot of downsides but if the tool had some more editing features, it would have been a cherry on the top. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
