Format Factory

Description of Format Factory

Format Factory is a completely free file format converter. In simple terms, this neat application is here to help us in the process of converting multimedia formats to other compatible extensions. It works with pictures, videos, audio, and even text file formats. But why would a user change the file format of a file? Because some extensions are native to specific operating systems and even standalone software like Microsoft Office.

Make your videos compatible with other platforms

Even though you have videos that run perfectly on your Windows machine, that doesn't mean the same thing will happen when the video is on a Mac, for example. Each major software development company seeks to develop and launch platform-specific file extensions to give them more power and leverage in the computer market. Companies like Apple and Microsoft are well-known for applying this task, and in the end, we can't blame them. It is their software, so they decide what kind of file formats they have as supported by default.

Format Factory supports many multimedia file formats

The User Interface is clean and easy to use. It works with images, videos, and audio files. I can safely say the application does a lot to ensure the user is not confused by its features. The buttons available inside the window layout are self-explanatory, letting us know what type of task they fulfill. The conversion engine can work with multiple file formats, including MP4, 3GP, MPG, AVI, WMV, FLV, SWF, MP3, WMA, AMR, OGG, AAC, WAV, and the following image formats: JPG, BMP, PNG, TIF, ICO, GIF, TGA.

As the file conversion process takes place, you can even select dedicated presets designed to optimize the output file for mobile devices. That's useful because not all phones are super powerful. Some phone models run videos better if the item in the case has mobile-friendly encoding behind it. Besides, it places less stress on the phone, allowing the device to save battery life.

Keep your work your work! Prevent theft!

How about ensuring nobody takes and reuploads your videos on the Internet without giving credit? To solve a problem like this one, Format Factory supports watermarking. A watermark is an image file that the application overlays over each video to add your brand. If this feature doesn't represent anything to you, don't use it! Another task that Format Factory can handle is the ability to repair damaged video and audio files. Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying this component is some revolutionary function because it's not. It fixes tiny and common issues people face while working with audio and videos.

Translation into many languages

Understanding the features present inside the GUI is essential to making the most out of Format Factory's modules. With this in mind, the program includes translation in 62 languages, including popular ones like English, German, Arabic, Spanish, French, etc. Not all users have lots of free storage space on their personal computers and laptops. To circumvent this issue to an extent, Format Factory comes with a built-in multimedia file size compressor. Reduce the size of big multimedia files like videos to free up some space making them easier to save and backup. Another great feature is the possibility to rip DVD content and save it on your computer.
